Liked: The big dog field Staff friendly
Disliked: How this site got the 8.8 rating is beyond me. Pot holes on the road it that bad when we got home, we discovered damage on our caravan. All showers need major work updating them. No lights on site at night. Bottom touring pitches on the way to marina carpark very inconsiderate speeding through area. Not child friendly should be adults only.

Liked: The pitches are a generous size, well gravelled, level, screened by hedges and get plenty of sun. They are set below the marina which cuts out a lot of the wind. Although you don’t get a view of the boats. Arrival is simple and well executed. You will need to get a key for the toilets and towpath gate which is £20 refundable. Staff were friendly and professional. As a group, we hired a day boat from the Marina which was also excellent and very affordable if there are enough of you! The pub a short walk down the towpath or road is really nice (The Plough). You should definitely book if you want to eat as it’s really popular.
Disliked: The toilets/showers would be a fair walk if you use them. However I didn’t, so it’s not a problem for me! The potholes in the long drive are a real bone shaker. They’ve got even worse since my last visit and you just can’t avoid them.
