Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (lake view)
Liked: Quick booking and response to questions. Nicely laid out site with all pitches having great views. For a wild/popup campsite portaloos were very clean. Hot shower was a great surprise and although basic in terms of the shower cubicle(single on the campsite) it was very hot and also great water pressure. Put a lot of permanenet campsite showers to shame.
