Liked: Whole field beautifully maintained. Toilets / shower’s excellent. Cleaning facilities very good. Pub / restaurant onsite friendly and very good. Views lovely. Child free…grown ups only. Dog friendly.
Disliked: Pitches felt too close together especially if neighbours had an awning. Despite there being noise restrictions between 7:30am to 7:30pm, our (albeit friendly) neighbours, (4 of them in one caravan) had an awning very close to our MH and were very noisy talking all night / evening till I had to get out of bed, get dressed and ask them respectfully to keep the noise down as it was nearly midnight. Which they did. Otherwise it would be a 5 star. Perhaps visitors with large awnings could be parked together, and make it clearer about the quiet time period.
