Liked: Large site
Disliked: Toilets, missing handle on inside of exit to toilet block. The whole block very tired.
The travelling community very established on the site with children running wild.
Dog dirt left on grass areas.
Only WiFi outside reception.

Liked: Clean facilities. Lots of bins. Shop on site. Indoor swimming pool. Steam room. Laundry room. Big Belfast sinks for pot washing. Big shower rooms with lovely hot water Very clean site...the staff are always busy. There were quite a few irish travellers staying on site, in fact we were encircled by them, I've never felt safer! Salt of the earth people.
Disliked: Grey and black waste not easy for motorhomes but it's do-able 😄

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked: Good site, clean, good playpark and dog friendly. Pitches were large. Location is excellent for Dunbar which was a lovely town. Staff were all excellent.
Disliked: Nothing really. If I had to nitpick the only issue we had was that we booked a grass pitch but were put on a hard standing but it wasn't a major issue.
