Electric optional grass pitch
Liked: Spacious pitch with hedges to provide privacy. Friendly welcome, clear instructions for site rules/layout. Located by the rover, easy and scenic walk into the town to explore.
Disliked: SatNav maps directs you to a dead end; although the description on confirmation booming says this, it doesn't offer a better route. One shower block was closed (which was clearly notified at check-in, so not unexpected), so slightly further to go for toilet/shower etc.

Liked: Good shaded areas, toilet/shower block and smashing little swimming pool. I think that the pool might get quite busy in the peek season. My welcome was very good. The walk into the town was approx 15 mins and quite flat.

Liked: The pitch was huge and clean. The toilets looked a bit dated but were perfectly clean and the showers worked well. The camp was near the town - sadly most of the town's restaurants were shut - maybe because it was the summer or maybe we were here mid week and they might open at the weekends. The town was beautiful. The site itself was one of the cheaper sites were have used on our holiday. There was a playground and a pool, neither of which we used. There was a possibility of ordering fresh bread for the morning but it had to be ordered by 11 am the previously morning and we never actually made that. It was an ideal site for a short stay over.
Disliked: No restaurant or shop. The town had all its restaurants closed. Just a few bars open that did not do food.
