Liked: We only stayed one night as we live locally but we will 100% stay again.
Quiet and peaceful. The lake is lovely. Nice play frame for the children to play on.
The pitches aren't too close together.
We went out for dinner at the red lion and the food was very good and reasonably priced.
Local shop is in walking distance.
I think there is fire pits and wood to use but we only stayed one night so we didn't use this but next time we go it would be lovely to use this if available
It felt very secure with the security gates at the main entrance.
Disliked: The toilet is in desperate need of renovating and possibly another toilet is needed? If people are only doing one or two nights away you don't always want to set up your chemical waste.
You need a torch to go to the toilet, It can feel abit spooky if you are alone using the toilet, as its tucked around the back of a barn.
It wasn't a problem for us but there is a couple of chickens running around, and the pen is left open.

Liked: Beautiful site, well looked after, friendly owners! Play equipment for kids! Lovely lakes! Good sized pitches.
Disliked: Bit of a walk to dispose of rubbish.
Leaving with a twin axle caravan can be tricky as double gates are just about wide enough and goes out onto a main road!!

Liked: Quite location, nice walks around the lakes. Big area for socialising.
Disliked: You couldn't fish the lake, seeing as it was a Caravan Club site, they wanted £5 for a shower if you weren't a member
