Non-electric grass pitch
Liked I almost don’t want to right this as I don’t want people to know about the little gem!!
Following our first visit in June 2025 we had high hopes given how wonderful our first experience was.
Our visit in August 2026 exceeded expectations again. The new additions around the lake of the park, the sauna, the option to hire paddle-boards and kayaks and the additional seating are fantastic.
The lake is the obvious draw for this site, and the fact the site is on the smaller side means the lake never feels crowded.
Our children were on the lake from 9am until the evening each day we were there whether swimming or paddle boarding.
The site is spotlessly clean, the cafe on site is a real bonus, and the staff are always on hand for help but don’t hound you like some sites we have visited.
We generally like to visit new sites and don’t often return, but this place is somewhere we will continue to return to year on year.
Disliked Only wish is was closer to home so we could visit more often!!

Liked Great site and really reasonable price. Lake was great and unallocated pitches really well spaced out. Seems like they do not pack the site out, back to basics here but with clean toilets and showers that were well looked maintained.
Disliked Few minor things. Site would benefit from more variety in cafe and the 3pm closing was a bit annoying. We were waiting from 2:50pm for a coffee by time we got to the front it was 2:58pm and told we couldn’t have a coffee as they shut at 3pm.
Some form of basic shop would be handy as nothing locally, it’s at least 15 min drive to a shop.
Mirrors and ability to dry hands in the main toilet and shower block would be beneficial as it’s available by cafe.
The amount of dogs was a lot and so many running off leads and on the lake. Given we had a dog and kept by the rules it annoyed us that others didn’t.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Fantastic location. Amazing lake for swimming and paddle boarding. Our children had the BEST time. Good facilities and the onsite cafe for a good coffee and cake in the morning was lovely. Will 100% stay again.
My only downfall is that my friend slipped on the slope into the water holding my toddler and my toddler had a nasty bump to her head on the concrete, so perhaps a warning sign by the lake that it is slippery would be useful, it could have happend to anyone and othera did slip, fortunately no other injuries, but otherwise faultless!
