Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Toilets and showers are warm and clean. Nothing special but ample. Dish washing facilities look fine too.
Disliked: Site wasn't like description, it is surrounded by main roads and a well lit garage in plain view. It's noisy and isn't like it says on website at all. It's a shame as we were looking forward to a night away somewhere like the website portrays but in reality it was very disappointing. We were cramped next to another camper overlooking a very busy road, nothing like the site promises as feeling like you have the place to yourself, so we left an hour after arriving. We've had quieter and less cramped overnights on pay for car parks. £20 per night no electric in winter is way overpriced for offering.

Lovely site, apart from the constant road noise.

Liked: Clean facilities, good location near local pubs
Disliked: A little closer to the road than I would have liked, but didn't bother me too much.
Not overly a dislike but a lot of work happening to the site at the moment, so the paths are very muddy.
