Electric optional grass tent pitch
Liked: It was a delightful place only spoilt a little by the sound of traffic but that’s because I come from the sticks. I am an old school hosteller and bearing in mind the original idea of the YHA was something like to enable young people especially of limited meanings to experience the countryside. This ideal is no longer met
