Liked: Great camping pitch with hard standing for the motorcycles. Excellent facilities including common room with two sofas tables and chairs and a TV so we had to watch the Euro2024 match. Fridge/Freezer toaster microwave all supplied free to use in an indoor environment when it's cold or damp is an amazing offer. Will definitely use again and recommend to everyone. Well done guys

Powered grass and gravel caravan site
Liked: Beautiful location with stunning views of mountains wherever you look. Site was easy to find and accessible. Our pitch was flat and located close to all the amenities. Owners were always about and were very helpful and friendly. Toilet/shower block was very clean and there was cleaning products for guests to use to clean up after themselves. There was a communal area which we didnât use but looked great, it had everything. Also there was a pot wash area and plenty taps about for topping up your drinking water.
Disliked: Nothing! Loved everything about the site.
