Powered gravel caravan site
Liked: Very nice pitch - lots of space, good mixture of shade and sun, plenty of grass around the hardstanding, little picnic benches between the pitches. Great views and a footpath through the big nextdoor field to walk in. The kids liked seeing the cows.
All the facilities were excellent, clean and in good repair.
The beer garden was perfect for a family on a summer evening - it has a nice little playground for the kids, an outdoor bar, a BBQ for burgers and pizza including a children's menu, and lots of outdoor picnic tables with shade.
The pub has cask ale inside (which is great to have on a campsite) - they had three pumps but only one was on.
Disliked: Some very minor quibbles:
Bring cash if you want to eat and drink - the outdoor BBQ was cash only, the pub did cashback but ran out of cash, and the card reader at the outdoor bar kept losing signal. It all worked out in the end but it would have been a lot faster with cash.
They had Hobgoblin Gold, which is a great ale for a sunny evening, but they didn't have any casks outside so we had to go all the way round to the front of the pub to get it.
WiFi and mobile phone signal were spotty - the WiFi was good in the beer garden but our pitch was too far from the router to pick it up.

Liked: We stopped over here for one night travelling from Cumbria to Gloucestershire. So glad we did. We will definitely revisit and stay for more days. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. The facilities were in excellent condition and very clean.
The pizzas were freshly cooked and delicious. The pub beer garden was friendly .
Plenty of room on each pitch.

Liked: Site was very clean and tidy, lovely new toilet and showers, outside pizza n burgers, outside bar and alcoholic slushy bar. Very friendly staff, excellent food served in the onsite pub. Convenient for the potteries and lovely walks from the site. Surrounded by scenic views. Lovely playground and plenty of play area for children. Will definitely visit again
Disliked: The grey wast disposal point. We found it difficult to lift our waste container over the high sink. Needs a lower sink or a ramp and landing
