Liked This site is surrounded by mature trees, with lots of space. It was only about 1/4 full, despite it being summer school holidays. So it was nice to have space. We weren’t on top of the other visitors.

The campsite was tidy. No litter in sight and you could tell it was well maintained and cared for.

No insects in the bathrooms (big bonus!) and an attractively styled bathroom too.

The toilet paper didn’t run out - it was well stocked.

There are many, many electric hook-up points. It’s very well equipped.

It’s a great campsite and overall we’d give it 8/10 stars.

Disliked To get to a 10/10 stars, it’s the little things that are need attention. E.g

*Clearing the stinging nettles around the plug points and water point.

* Deep cleaning the bathrooms so that the lime scale buildup and black mould on the grouting is gone and the holes in the wall are filled.

* There are only 2 toilets / showers. We rarely had to wait over this weekend, but the site was fairly empty. If the site was full I worry it wouldn’t be enough.

* Do be aware that there is a pub near by, that on summer Saturday evenings, does live music in the garden. It was great quality music and fun to listen to but it wasn’t the quiet country ambiance we had expected.

Liked Being able to pitch the tentbox right at the fishing lake and having the whole lake to ourselves the whole weekend. Totally undisturbed and a well stocked lake !

Disliked Shower/toilet slightly rundown but functional and hot water.

Liked Colin the manager was welcoming and friendly always had time for a chat.
Said if we go back again we don't have to book as he will fit us in which is useful to know.
The site was very clean and peaceful.
The grass was nice and short and no grass cuttings which was good as other places leave them and they get carried into the tent which isn't good when it's wet.
The facilities were very basic and for the price you can't comaplian.
There are two shower rooms both with a sink, toilet and a shower, then outside a washing up area, they could do with updating and maybe have more toilets and showers on site.
The walk to the fishing lakes were clean and loads of fish (.though we don't fish)
Also we saw two red kites flying about.
We will definitely stay on this site again.
There was also no hurry for us to leave and was told as long as we are off before the evening thats ok and to make sure our tent was dry before packing it away so it doesn't go mouldy or rot.
