What customers say
Friendly staff, quiet vibe, great marina location for walks & pub. Good-sized, level pitches. Nice showers. Big issue: the bumpy access road. Some facilities a bit dated, occasional noise/bins overflowing. Management is working on the road and code of conduct.

Liked Pitch was a good size, previous occupant had kindly left their rubbish, presumably because all the bins were overflowing.
Quiet site, tucked away, nice surroundings
