Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Second time we have stayed here and again it was excellent. Joe in the shop/reception was very helpful and knowledgeable with his fishing advice.
Café staff and food was perfect.
The off lead area for dogs is brilliant and ours ran for ages.

Lovely site with friendly staff
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Lovely large field with grass and handstanding pitches. Great for fishermen as you can buy a day ticket to fish in the lakes. Lovely cafe on site, dog walk and off lead area, small play area for children and nature pond. Good shower/toilet facilities if needed.

Cafe a disappointment but we will know if we go there in the future.
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Site generally, response to request to be close to water point, ( we were next to it), cleanliness etc.
Disliked Cafe, which was a reason for picking this site, stopped hot meals at 2 o'Clock. We had no notice of this as on a previous visit we had been able to order hot food later in the day.

Friendly owners. Warm showers.
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Ease of booking.
Warm, friendly welcome.
Warm showers & clean toilet block.
Picturesque fishing lakes.
On site cafe.
Free wifi was good at cafe & toilet block.
Location was near enough to walk into the beautiful town of Sandwich, but too far if it rains.
Disliked Not sure how often staff walk the site as it took best part of 24 hours before some dog mess was removed close to neighbour caravan who had a dog.
No wifi signal at our pitch, although we were told apparently an engineer was booked to resolve this issue so hopefully by the time this review appears, everyone will be able to access wifi on their pitch.
