A beautiful site in a natural setting.
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Peaceful site in a beautiful location, clean facilities. A lot of thought had been given to meeting campers’ needs that you don’t get on other sites - e.g. washing up liquid provided.
Disliked This is a very minor thing and may be because we stayed out-of-season, but more information on local things to do is sometimes provided by other sites. However this is very very minor thing and- after all, we had phones and Wi-Fi!

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked The overall location is lovely. Nothing to dislike.
Disliked Attention to cleanliness in Showers and Toilets. By that I mean Cob Webs, dirty Skirting Boards, and doors. They all need a few extra minutes spent on them with a bucket of flash. My standards are extremely high,I know this, but I expect the same. Hardly ever finding this in any location. But why not.?
