Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked We come here every year for the last 8 years a two year break during covid, for one week before the school holidays. It's only because we like the peace and quietness. We work in education. It a lovely place to camp, the staff are very attentive and if there is a problem they will endeavour to fix it. The facilities are very clean it such a joy to come here. We do... we have been coming year after year which says a lot. Looking forward to my trip next year. Virginia and David Hancock.

Excellent stay
Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch
Liked Staff very friendly, park well looked after with everything you need, lovely spacious pitch, nicely gravelled. Didn’t buy anything from the shop or bar but had some chips from the chippy and they were great. Lots to offer on the menu, had a great stay, very well located
Disliked Two very minor things, our grey waste drain was higher than the pitch so couldn’t link directly, so good job we took the wastemaster, was a little confused in the bin store, as one who likes to recycle as much as I can, could do with some better signage to know what goes where.

From the manager: Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found the park well-maintained, the staff friendly, and the pitch spacious and well presented. It's also great to know that you enjoyed the chips from our chippy and appreciated our convenient location.
Thank you as well for your constructive feedback. We appreciate your comments regarding the grey waste drain and understand how having a higher drain connection could be inconvenient. We're glad you had your wastemaster with you. We also appreciate your suggestion about the recycling area signage. As a park, we're keen to encourage recycling wherever possible, and your feedback will help us look at ways to make the bin store clearer and easier to use for our guests.
We hope to welcome you back again soon for another great stay 😊
