Wish I booked more nights here for my tour.
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Lovely site with easy walking access to town. Nice clean shower room and toilets. Easy access to river and if you have a small craft, there is a boat jetty right next to the site.
Very good washing machine in washroom.
Disliked As someone else has mentioned, do not follow sat nav for directions from Google once you arrive in Sable area, it will take you to a dead end. The site is clearly signposted so follow these and ignore sat nav.
If you need to use washing machine, make sure you buy a token for 5 euros, only when reception is open.
