Non-electric hardstanding touring pitch

Absolutely stunning, one of the best sites we've been on.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked The woodland setting and natural non regimental pitches. Which afforded privacy and made you feel part of a natural environment.
The wildlife.
Disliked Peace and tranquility was regularly shattered by numerous uncontrolled barking dogs (fault of the thoughtless owners, not the dogs as there were other dogs who were as good as gold and well trained)
This was reported to the site wardens but had no effect unfortunately.

Non-electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Lovely site with great surroundings, very quiet.
Disliked You are not allocated a pitch, it’s a free for all so you feel like you can’t leave the site unless you are happy to find a new spot on return.
No signal whatsoever which is lovely but can be annoying also!
