Liked: The site, the pitch size, the shower block, the space
Disliked: The cafe is usually shut Tuesday and Wednesday so a friend and I planned a quick break Monday-Tuesday. Lunch to be at the cafe with coffee and cold drinks, so this was how we catered. On arrival, cafe closed all day Monday for first aid training. An update had been put on FB page for the cafe but nothing for campers. Luckily we were able to buy a couple cold drinks but no food. Just for info, if cafe is closed also update the campsite FB page. We weren't the only ones caught out

Liked: Beautiful site, flat and open with well defined pitches. Did not feel squished in at all.
The facilities were lovely and adequate in number for the size of the site.
The warden was fantastic, a real credit to the site, one of the most approachable and friendly we've come across anywhere in Europe.
The lake, cafe and general surroundings are stunning. The lake is clear, clean and fresh - perfect for the kids.
Just to note, minimal phone signal on most networks.

Liked: Loved the relaxed family feel to the campsite. Very well kept, super shower block. The lake was a treat 😁. Great site for the whole family and your furry friends.
Disliked: Shower/ washing up water could have been hotter

Would visit again but think a bit more attention to detail needed.

Liked: Lovely setting in beautiful countryside. The lake and lakeside cafe were great too. There is a stream running from the site which our dog loved. Well marked walks to the pub and further afield. The wood burners and starry skies are a great selling point.
Disliked: The new toilet facilities looked great but lacked things like mirrors and running cold water. They were clean but the smaller block nearer the cafe were not cleaned in the time we were there. Toilet paper on the floor after 24 hours isn’t acceptable. Unfortunately the toilets and showers here are used by the day trippers as well as campers. Think this needs to be more clearly defined.
