Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked Nice lake. Views beautiful. Clean toilets. Hard standing pitch was spacious. Enjoyed seeing the aircraft and handy bus stop outside the site. Staff were ok with us...a little abrupt at answering questions but witnessed them being quite rude to some others whom we felt quite sorry for.
Disliked Only 1 dog poo bin on the whole site which was right at at the entrance on the the tiny dog walk field. Insufficient water access points for motorhomes as had pack everything up to refill and in a heatwave its not ideal. People had fires at night which isnt allowed and strong smell of weed.
