Liked: Lovely place to stay. Lovely pub and park area for kids. Staff all friendly and helpful. Outside pizza hut serving food till 9pm
Disliked: Bottom field ground a little soft but expected with the weather not really ideal for caravans or folding campers and make sure you select electricity with pitch up in optional extras!

Liked: Lovely site, great views and pitches were generous so no feeling squished. The pub had a great atmosphere and lots of entertainment over the weekend. Staff and owner are so friendly and welcoming. Easy access from the M6 but feels like a very rural location although there are lots of amenities nearby. Lots of walks out from the campsite too. Some of our friends enjoyed it so much they booked to stay an extra night!
