Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Lovely and quiet, with beautiful views. The toilets were well maintained and clean. Lovely addition having the fire pits (take cash for logs). Manager was really friendly and helpful, will be returning!
Disliked: No showers, I knew this before so it's not a 'dislike' it would just improve it if there were showers.
