Liked: Loved how small and quite the campsite was, with 3 boys all with additional needs they could get on and have some freedom to explore. Portable toilets where clean, good mobile reception.
Disliked: Grass was long other than the pitching areas which made it a little difficult for the boys to play without getting stung by stingy nettles. Hasn't put us off coming back.

Liked: Well layed out and space between pitches very good, toilets cleaned daily and meat delivery to pitch
Disliked: No shower block, these can be hired and easily plumbed in.

From the manager: Thank you for staying with us - we are glad you enjoyed it. We have looked at hiring showers but unfortunately they are very expensive and require either a robust mains electricity connection or very large generators. We hope that you can stay again next year!
