Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Easy access in/out of campsite, loads of space for the van and nice views, faultless facilities (all new and kept in pristine condition), quiet and peaceful, bargain price of £30 per night.
Disliked: Perhaps some sort of designated play area for smaller children?
WiFi limited to area near reception.
But I am being picky really!
