What customers say
This is a peaceful, quiet site with beautiful rural scenery, praised for its clean facilities, including hot showers and well-maintained pitches with water and electric hook-ups. It's noted as a great location for walks and visiting local pubs. While generally well-regarded, some guests found the facilities basic, the site a little tired, and the touring pitches small, with occasional issues regarding lighting in the toilet block and shower capacity.
