Liked: Brilliant site, stayed on electric tent pitch. Which are large in size and give you your own space. Facilities are modern and cleaned regularly ( just a small suggestion of a hook on door in the toilets, would be very handy) Great play park for the children, our spent hours enjoying it. The added bonus on OB Cafe serving cakes, light bites, hot, cold drink including a selection of alcoholic beverages. Food vendors also offer meals on certain days of the week which is perfect for those not wanting to cook every night. We have loved this place that much we added an extra night. If we could have stayed longer we definitely would have. Everything was just perfect and we will definitely be returning.

Liked: 2nd time visiting and we had another great stay. Camped in a non electric pitch. Great facilities, toilet and showers are great. Onsite bar and food. We didn’t eat but had a gin and a beer (£10) Great park for the kids and loads of space. We did stop after the bank holiday so was quiet.
Disliked: Can’t park next to the tent

Liked: Great site not too far to spend a peaceful weekend. The addition of the cafe was perfect along with the grill, the food was exceptionally good. Plenty of space for the children to play and be safe. Would definitely recommend and return ourselves.
Disliked: Toilet/ showers got quite dirty however given the bank holiday weekend, a day of showery rain and very busy was to be expected. Reliant on users leaving as they have found it but sadly does not happen. Taking this away the shower facilities were very modern and spacious!
