Electric grass pitch
Liked Toilets and showers are very nice although there don’t seem to be many of them - but great while the site was quiet. Very peaceful/quiet, great WiFi, and we liked being able to arrive in the evening and let ourselves in.
Disliked Rows of lights beside every pitch are on all night.

Great stay, highly recommend would stay again.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch (medium, semi-serviced)
Liked Lovely roomy pitch, we had a medium hardstanding semi serviced. Surprisingly quiet for a large site. Great facilities. The vending machine has all the essentials if you run out of anything. Showers lovely and hot plenty of room to get changed. All very clean and tidy.
Disliked Can’t actually think of anything. If I had to be picky. A lady having their dog in the toilets and doing their washing up. Even though there is washing up facilities. But that’s just looking for something to dislike.

Fully-serviced hardstanding tent or motorhome pitch (small, super)
Liked Lovely site, friendly and always immaculate showers, toilets and washing areas.
Reception was open during the day.
Fresh milk machine, coffee machine and snack vending machines open 24/7
Was our 1st time in a motorhome and we arrived in the evening. It was easy to access the site once we had announced our arrival and the electric security posts disappear into the ground to allow access to the site. We also had good wifi signal which is a bonus.

Beautiful well maintained, friendly, safe site. Well worth visiting.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch (medium, semi-serviced)
Liked Beautifully clean, well maintained site. Very secure. All staff super friendly and helpful. One particular member of staff was especially helpful at 8:30 pm when we had a problem with a lock on our caravan which prevented getting in. The site is set in a very peaceful picturesque setting. With two additional positives places to eat in the village. The pub and the Ducks cafe which made a perfect breakfast both within easy walking distance. So good that we are returning in a matter of weeks.
