Liked: The value for money with this camp site was perfect, the location couldn’t really have been much better for us for the day we spent there, enough space to get a level pitch and the facilities provided was excellent.

Liked: Great views and convenient location
Disliked: Overcrowded field (it was bank holiday weekend in fairness) but then after we had set up another field was opened up at which point we couldn't be bothered to move.

Liked: Facilities were clean, everyone was friendly, lovely spot.
Disliked: When people are heading to use the facilities late at night/early morning, there was very little consideration for the tents they were passing. Experienced lots of torches and chatting as they went past the tent. Reminders in the facilities/on gates between fields would help this. Some groups were playing club music in the evening, which isn't the vibe of the pitch considering it's a family spot.

Liked: The remote location was amazing the views are exactly what I wanted from the campsite. The staff are super friendly and helpful as we had a couple of issues with our tent and they were able to help us with a place to go to get it resolved. Really enjoyed out stay and will return again. Facilities are basic but its what we wanted.
