Electric grass touring caravan pitch
Liked: Everything very friendly, pavilion was great with games pool and table tennis table football and more. Pitches are massive and the enclosed dog walking field was perfect for our dogs to be off lead and not worry about it. Family bathroom very helpful and lots of cooking items if you forgot something in the campers kitchen can fault it one bit out of the 6 campsite we stayed at through August this was the best.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Overall great dog friendly, spacious ,rural, quiet and rustic chic and great value for money site! *The hosts were super friendly, helpful and welcoming! *The dog exercise field was huge and very well maintained. *The site itself was very well maintained and pitches were very spacious and level. Able to park next to your pitch with plenty of space. *There was animals onsite, including chickens and ducks and you could purchase fresh eggs. Even met the resident dogs and swallows! *Great location for a base, so easy to nip out for day trips. *Hot showers - no time out, good power. However, the facilities needs a wee spruce up, the owners have stated they were understably waiting for less traffic to do it. *We didn't use the pavilion, however spotted a young family going in to watch TV and play games which was nice.

Liked: Liked that site was out of the way and peaceful. Beautifully maintained site including enclosed large dog walking field. Facilities are spotless and extremely adequate, large leisure room including games and tv/reading area. Hosts were freindly and attentive, to the point of removing a tick from our dogs ear. We will definately return.
Disliked: Disliked the fact that we only stayed for one night.
