Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Helpful staff, very clean toilets and showers, walking distance to local amenities, ideal place with a toddler who wants to roam free - he particularly liked the old tractor, jeep and golf buggy he could climb on! Stayed as a half way point from Birmingham to Newquay - enjoyed our stay despite the very wet weather. Will be recommending to friends and family.
