Disliked: Upon arrival drive into site pot hole’s horrendous. Checked in went to our pitch was nub ends every where, dog mess on the pitch. Owners of the barges do not adhere to the rules dogs of the lead which ended up in a dog called patch jumping all over me, ended up with mud of the paws over my back my bottoms by handbag, no site warden to advise of what happened after 5pm, I did advise reception the next day in which I was given a token to wash my clothes, I would give the facilities a 4 out of 10 need abit of tlc. Only washing up part was on the other side of the marina.

Liked: The site is great with walks nearby. Toilets and showers. Staff very accommodating. Would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for the initial issue with pitch 1.
Disliked: When we arrived we were placed on pitch 1 which was flooded and no room for car parking as it’s tiny, not worth £50 odd for 2 nights! To be fair to those at reception, they were accommodating as they placed us on an alternative pitch with space to park the car, however had they been full, we would have been lumbered with entry and exit to our caravan through water on a tiny pitch, having to walk to the car park to get to the car. If we hadn't have been relocated then Id most likely have turned back and gone home. Pitch 1 is not suitable for a touring caravan and is only suitable for small camper vans. Id suggest that the site rethink allowing bookings from those with tourers on pitch 1, alternatively extend the pitch and resolve the flooding issue. Wifi is non existent on the touring pitches. I wouldn't stay again for fear of being lumbered with the unsuitable pitch in pitch 1. The rest are spacious, clean and suitable.

Disliked: Arrived after hours and facilities were locked. After speaking to another camper the next day, you have to pay a £20 deposit for a key to the facilities during office hours. We borrowed their key and facilities were clean enough but run down
