Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked The scenery was stunning. The facilities were satisfactory. The pitches were level. The site itself was charmless.
Disliked It is not dog friendly - it is dog hostile - dogs must be kept on leads at all times and if you let them off even for a moment they will throw you off the site.
We had been out from 10am till 745pm on our second night and I had just fed my dogs and was trying to set up our beds in the van and two employees shouted at me for the dogs being off the leads. I couldn’t keep them in the vw van while I was trying to sort the beds and there was nowhere to tie them to. They accused me of having the dogs loose all day - we hadn’t even been there. The previous evening we were told off for arriving 5 minutes after 6pm - we had been stuck in traffic and I had already told them this. We were out and about for 2 hours before settling to sleep. I have stayed at lots of sites in the past and never been the recipient of such unpleasantness. There is a small dog walking area which is ok but not sufficient for taking my well trained border collies for a walk. (We walked them elsewhere). After this harassment the owner asked us to leave - at 2015 - we had only been there 30 minutes. They claimed health and safety issues and rules. There were no children on the site that we saw and certainly most people seemed to stay in their vans. There were two campers who had a fire pit near our van and the smoke went straight into our van and we had to close all the windows and doors the first night. Fires are allowed - even if they smoke the neighbours out. It is well known that wood smoke causes cancer and I do not wish to breathe it in.
We were made to leave the site at 830pm with nowhere to go. They gave me a list of local sites but at that time it was impossible to find anywhere. We were tired and I was obliged to park in a motorway services overnight as I was too tired to drive. We were fined £60 for parking overnight. We were not reimbursed our second night. I think to make two elderly (over 70) women leave at that time of night with nowhere to go was horrible. We were very upset and still are.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Everything.
My dog got a little treat bag when we arrived with biscuits in which I thought was sweet.
The pitches are a great size with hedges inbetween so they were nice and private.
The park for a small site is really good for the kids and the playing field.
The enclosed dog field was great aswell as the dog walk.
Toilet and showers were so clean with a free to use hairdryer and I’ve never seen so many baths 😂 my kids were in one each which they thought was great.
Dog shower room.
A room with vending machines, kettle, tables and chairs and activities files etc.
staff were so friendly and the little shop I reception was a good touch.
