Liked: A lovely well maintained site. Wcs and showers really clean. The owner was very friendly.On Thursday the local area’s electricity was off because of maintenance work between 9am and 4.30pm which didn’t really affect us as we switched to gas and then we were out for the day.Later the owner rang to ask if everything was working again for us.It was. We would recommend this site as it is fully serviced and,as previously reported, well maintained.

From the manager: Hi Nicole Following on from your phone call at 2100 hours. I totally apologise for not seeing you the morning when you vacated, we had a heavy shower of rain when you were packing your tent up and you left the site quicker than I expected so didn’t get chance to discuss the issue. Sorry again for your issue. Regards Sarah
