Excellent site, great facilities, a shame about the external factors
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Really friendly welcome and probably the best bathroom facilities we have come across! Nice level, decent size pitches and a good stop off location for us on our travels north. A great site.
Disliked I've had to mark it down a couple of stars simply because of the sleep quality. I'm a bit of a light sleeper and our pitch was next to a road where HGVs started travelling past at 5am. Coupled with the aircraft taking off every 5 minutes, it was not a great night for me. Such a shame as a lovely site, and perfect if you're a better sleeper!!
