Liked: Lovely field views, clean and tidy shower and toilet facilities, nice pub, eat and stay for free
Disliked: Drinks and food a little pricey but this is reasonably offset by discounting the cost of the pitch when staying overnight.

Liked: Bar and restaurant staff really accommodating, food was amazing pretty much a la carte style. Camping field was fine, loverly and silent area, just make sure you stock up on essentials first eg milk as no shops close (that we found, drive to petrol station) certainly not a bad point.
Disliked: Toilet paper not checked enough, could do with a better lock once inside wash room. Much prefer a type of door in shower instead of curtains, that’s if I was to convince wife to stay as that’s her pet hate lol.
