Liked: The setting was fabulous. Bathroom facilities were great but too near campers. Good communication with hirers
Disliked: The toilet facilities were too close to the pitches. Whilst washing up you could hear the toilets. I think there were too many pitches for the site. Less pitches and away from the facilities would have been better. Our pitch was right next to the chemical disposal 🥴. Not sure how clean the facilities would stay clean after a morning ? Neighbouring campers played music etc

From the manager: Hi there, thank you for your feedback. We are really glad you liked the setting of our site and the facilities! 🙂 We were very disappointed to hear that there were some things that weren’t to your liking. Hopefully this did not affect your stay too much. Thank you again for staying.
Great facility…

Liked: Location - beautiful green rolling countryside. Quiet. Peaceful. Easy contactless check-in and the best showers we've known on a site- hot, powerful and big.
Disliked: It's a tight squeeze with unlevel pitches on very deep, loose gravel so manoeuvering was difficult. Option to use chocks but our pitch slanted sideways on loose gravel, so it felt unsafe. Site still under construction so works vehicles/men about. (Late April)

Facilities all clean. Will need chocks to level. Very quiet

Liked: Small site that is relatively new, with young plants dividing pitches, which has been looked after even with very wet spring weather. Really good showers in toilet block.
Disliked: A lot of work has gone into terracing the pitches as site is on huge slope, but with just a bit more care most could be level, but they aren’t. The 6amp limit for hookup is restrictive.
