Top of our list for camp sites highly recommended
Electric grass pitch
Liked We stayed here as a group booking with three pitches with a mixed age range from younger children to older adults 😁.
We were kindly allocated three pitches together enabling us to have a large space to set up gazebo bbq and fire pit.
Plenty to do on site the younger ones in our group had great fun just exploring.
As always staff were extremely pleasant and we look forward to seeing them all again next year .
Disliked Only slight negative would be didn’t get to have one of there excellent pizzas this year as we where out for lunch on the day it was open during our stay.
