Powered grass caravan site
Liked: Fantastic site, very rustic which we loved! Everything was very well thought out they had a great selection of things to keep the kids busy and a lovely park on site. The owners were friendly, we will definitely be returning again soon we enjoyed our stay. Great base for exploring the area too!
Disliked: The chemical waste disposal wasn't very good and we ended up with lots of spillage which isn't ideal. It wouldn't put us off coming again as apart from that we loved the site but something easier and cleaner to use would be beneficial for the site guests

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: Nice small site but with great facilities including good washroom and showers, communal dining room and recreation field. Kids loved the football pitch, the ducks and the chickens!
Disliked: My pitch was at the end of the field close to the road, and there was some traffic noise, but that cant really be avoided and it didn't really cost me any sleep.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: Nice small field, only 15 pitches (I think) which was nice.
Plenty room for cars to be parked at side of tent. Clean facilities, plenty sockets to charge phones ect.
Kids loved the play area and football goals
Disliked: Wouldnt put me off coming back but we have a reactive dog, friendly but likes to bark with excitement. Owners dogs coming round the field at 9pm which resulted in my dog barking, waking the children and potentially annoying other campers. Thankfully no complaints because we kept him on lead and under control.
Also owners dogs pooping on field and not getting picked up

Liked: Facilities very clean and stock replenished. Plenty of space within pitch. Lots to do. The lady owner let my daughter help feed the runner ducks; she's still talking about it excitedly.
