2 bedroom static caravan
Liked Everything!!! This was a last minute decision to book but I am so glad I did . The campsite is set back off the main road and you are surrounded by nature . Birds, bees , trees , flowers , ponds , etc it is so peaceful and tranquil . Amanda ,Kevin and Colin were so friendly and welcoming - couldn't do enough for you ( including giving us some milk I'd forgotten) . Colin spent time with my hubby talking to him as they are both interested in plants ( Colin is very knowledgeable). We even came home with 5 plants they had given us . We stayed in the static caravan and we honestly could not have chosen better , everything was there upon arrival we needed , we travelled with our 19 month old English springer spaniel who has just found a voice !! However Amanda and family came and spoke to us and Milo and they were fine about his mad barking moods he gets . The patio was dog friendly and Amanda provided blankets to cover any furniture up our doggy went on . The weather was gorgeous so we went swimming every day and if Milo got hot we took him into the wet room to cool him off. We loved it so much we extended our stay by 2 days and have booked to go again in August, we will be returning as many times as we possibly can . A huge thanks to Amanda , Kevin and Colin from Julie, Jason and Milo - see you soon xx
Disliked Having to pack up and leave.

It was a pleasure to meet you both and the lovely Milo, hope he's not too tired, after his busy week!
Hope the plants made it home in one piece.
See you soon

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked Lovely welcome from the owener. Made the experience more personal. She showed us around, and let us choose our pitch. She even checked in on us during our stay which made me feel apart of her community.
The shower rooms were spacious and clean. The toilet, shower and sink were all togther in one room, rather than in separate areas and in stalls.
Remote, quiet site which allowed you to fully relax.
The lake was lovely to walk around with the children and great to look for local wildlife.
Pitches were spacious and level with electric and water stations at each pitch.
Disliked It was difficult to empty waste water as we had to lift it up to empty.
The showers/wet room, although provided with cleaning supplies, I feel could do with regular check ups to ensure standards are high.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review. So pleased you enjoyed your stay on our little site.
We have looked into changing the waste, but as most people like it, we decided to leave it as it is.
Unfortunately not everyone leaves the facilities as we would like to find them and I can't check them after every person has uses them, but they are checked and cleaned at least twice a day, more often if the is weather is bad or we are particularly busy.
