Powered gravel caravan site
Liked: The site was perfect for us. We wanted a quiet and spacious location for families, somewhere the children one could socialise with children their own age, without being crammed next to others, and having other peoples children run around our caravan or being too noisy. This campsite delivered. It was a beautiful location, very green and spacious. It was quiet but located close enough to the local community to be able to access everything you need. The owners were so friendly but not overbearing at all. The other guests on the site were friendly but mainly kept to themselves and the children played. The patches were well spaced, private, clean and well maintained and were more than large enough to accommodate a caravan and awning, with some even having their own picnic tables.
Disliked: I really can't think of anything I didn't like. If I have to pick something the only thing I could suggest it to have a hose on the fresh water taps to prevent the water from spraying out of the tap everywhere. The site was so good I almost don't want to encourage others from going as it may mean the next time we want to book its full! :)
