Electric grass pitch
Liked We have been here twice before and I can say we are already looking at the dates to come back.
The facilities are spectacular, clean, private and well kept.
The site is quiet and with the quiet hours this suits us as a couple who just want some peace to get away.
The instructions from staff ie timings, codes and all other information is perfect
The shop on site is perfect for any last minute bits you have forgotten.
The butchers a stones throw away is one of the best ones we’ve ever been to and the price is very reasonable with such a variety to suit all.
On the whole another fantastic stay with no complaints other than we would love to of stayed longer 🙄
Disliked Nothing. Everything was perfect.

From the manager: Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us your review of our campsite. We're pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us and that you would be happy to recommend our site to your friends and family. We look forward to welcoming you back to our site again soon.
We assume you are referring to the two gates either side of the the right of way that cuts through our campsite from the village to the river, which separates our top field from the middle and bottom fields. Unfortunately, we cannot change the right of way and we added the gates for the safety of our guests. To avoid having to use these gates, please request a pitch in our top field near our facilities block next time you book. :)
Kind regards
The Whitemead Team
