Average site at a premium price.

Liked Location.
Disliked Very poor facilities for the price. Toilets and shower average at best, pitch very basic.
It’s not bad, it’s just massively over priced for a very basic service.

Powered grass site
Liked The food and drink were very nice.
Disliked No hot water in showers, and when mentioned “ first I’ve heard darling” was not the answer I was hoping for.
Also nothing to do with site but had children just running around pitch and even going into awnings ect.

Really enjoyed the stay and will definitely be returning soon!
Powered grass site
Liked We liked the pitch we had (S1), near to facilities and fairly quiet in our field.
Facilities were great (e.g. bar, restaurant and pizza area). Also like that there was live music. Nice, modern washing and cleaning facilities.
Disliked The only problem we really had was some people in field next to us were playing loud music and shouting a lot until around midnight.
