Liked: Well run and spotlessly clean site, with all the facilities you'd need -loo's, showers, wash up and laundry. Small games room is a nice touch too. Pitches are a good size and set well back from the road. Only 15 park-ups so doesn't feel crowded or get noisy. Large field for dog-walking by the river. Dog-friendly cafe nearby and a good location for exploring all D&G has to offer. The owners clearly put a lot of love and work into the site and it shows.
Disliked: Not a 'dislike' but a poo bin by the dog field would be handy and some more recycling facilities nearer the pitches.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Denise thank you so much for your wonderful detailed review, especially saying it's probably the cleanest site you've ever been on!
It means a lot to the team when they get appreciated for all their hard work and attention to detail, from how the site looks, to all the facilities we have to offer, to make sure our guests have an enjoyable stay with us.
We are pleased you liked our large field for dog walking. It is something we pride ourselves on and why a lot of our guests return with their 4 legged friends.
Denise with reference to a doggie poo bin by the dog walking field, there is a green refuse bin at the bottom of the path from the dog walking area. The recycling facilities are only a short walk away, compared to some sites where they can be a longer walk away.
Thank you again for your wonderful review Denise. We hope you will come and stay with us again soon.

Liked: Large easy to manoeuvre onto pitches. As previously said on another review, as it's a new site maybe adding fully serviced facilities or even just water on each pitch would have been a bonus. Also shower and toilet facilities aren't enough. But as the touring site wasn't full it wasn't a problem for us. The shower was fantastic, powerful and hot. Also thank you to Margaret a resident on the site in one of the beautiful lodges for letting me use her whirly clothes dryer to dry my washing. The games room with all anyone could require (if in a tent) are great. We enjoyed our stay.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
It's nice to hear that you appreciated our large easy to manoeuvre onto pitches.
As for having fully serviced pitches, we have looked in to the prospect but it would be too costly due to our infrastructure and then passing the cost on to our guests would be unaffordable.
When booking in at reception we do make our guest aware that there are further showers and toilets a short walk away at reception. But we are glad you found the shower near the touring site fantastic, powerful & hot.
The holiday lodge owners on site are very friendly and helpful and it's lovely to hear that Margaret was kind enough to let you use her washing line.
We are pleased you enjoyed your stay .
