Anonymous Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Trite very clean and tidy Toilet &shower facilities really good and clean.
Cafe and on site Pizzas great .
Bus service availability so we left the car behind
Disliked Our plot was quite small . Plus nothing to do with site but people regularly walked through our plot on the gravel with no regard for our privacy. Was really annoying. Particularly bad on this site ….

Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Easy to find and access, pitches…
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Easy to find and access, pitches reasonably level nice clean site , good wy-fi
Disliked pitched below silver birch tree car and caravan was covered in sap [pitch no 76]
this is just a suggestion not necessarily a dislike
better if there was a shop on site for essentials ,the burger/pizza van should stay open longer A wee bit impersonal with remote access
the provision of fully serviced pitches would be our preference

The facilities were nice and clean.…
Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked The facilities were nice and clean. The little cafe van was very handy. The communication from the site was excellent. The local pub The Sparrow hawk was spectacular and only a 10 mins walk away!
Disliked Not really a dislike… our pitch was quite small and sadly had no sun at any time ! Pitch 9.l it was a shame as we had lovely weather 😳
Recommend to friends Visit again
Fantastic site and the owners should be rightfully very proud of it.
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked From contactless check in, to well maintained grounds and pitches.
Also the sensible pricing at the kitchen and all day breakfast options where fantastic as were the pizzas. This makes it an affordable last minute hassle free get away for my family and friends and we will definitely be regulars in the years ahead.
The wealth of information available through the app was also a great touch as were the Whatsapp videos on arrival.
Disliked Only slight grumble was the road noise but we knew that before booking.
