Liked: Very friendly staff happy to help, small well-kept site, impeccably clean facilities. Easy access to the motorway, very quiet but that’s was to be expected as we were out of the school holidays, small cafe shop that does fresh pastries. There is also a couple of restaurants within walking distance, the Chinese was excellent even if there is a wait, Very busy.
Disliked: My only comment here would be that there is no bar on site, but there is a Beefeater within a five minute walk.

Liked: Key operated barriers for entrance and exit. Well kept site and grounds. Good basic amenities. Lovely helpful kind welcoming staff. Easy access to site. Small tea room on site. Me and my partner had a lovely few days here. It was a pleasure to stay here. Allowances were made by staff to help me due to limited mobility and health issues. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome and given all info about site. A bonus is the option to buy a cuppa or coffee and a sweet treat in the small onsite tea room available between 9-3 daily. Having barriers on entrance and exit makes for a feeling of security while you stay here. A well equipped laundry/pot wash is available. And in the middle of site is a small play area for young children. We will be returning.
Disliked: Fixed shower heads. (This is only personal opinion as someone with limited mobility).
