Liked Claire was a great host ensuring that we were comfy and settled well. Campsite was great, not too crowded and enough space to allow my son to pitch a small day tent. The facilities were great and very clean.
Disliked Emphasise on recycling for the campers not chucking everything in one bin liner and filling up the bins quickly.
