Liked: The amazing, relaxed, well-kept campsite with lovely surroundings, clean toilets, very helpful host, amazing board for paddle board and on site cafe. Had such a lovely stay and weather was awesome too.
Disliked: The staff in the cafe refusing to share wifi password after my phone had got hung on a stupid automatic software update overnight and wouldn’t activate without wifi access.

Liked: The Purple Turtle cafe was really lovely, as were the staff. The Milkshakes went down a storm - we had Oreo and Crunchie. And the coffee was very nice. The lake was great and we spent the day paddleboarding and swimming. And it was a good touch to have wood, meat and eggs offered by staff driving around the site. Great for the kids to have the extra field to play ball in away from the tents. And lovely walk to the pub!
Disliked: Could definitely do with expanding the facilities by adding another couple of toilets and showers

Liked: Beautiful site situated amongst fields and trees and of course right next to the lake. Pitch size was ample, level and very relaxed about where and how you set up. Playing field for kids, very safe, paddle boards and kayak left out overnight. Lake was great fun deep in places so life jackets essential for young children. Plenty of launching areas and picnic tables to put your stuff. Nice walks from site and a pub in walking distance. Cafe on site, closes at 3. You can hire fire pits and logs from the site at a reasonable rate. No Wi-Fi but 4G was fine.
Disliked: Didn’t really dislike anything, however, they could do with more toilets and showers in a purpose built block. What was there was clean and perfectly usable.

Liked: Flat pitches and good soil for pegging tents. Choice of pitch and relaxed atmosphere. Firepit hire and lake access lovely. Good location for beach and local pub ;)
Disliked: Only two showers and toilets in block. And one toilet by the cafe. So on a busy weekend quite a few queues formed. Hard to keep clean when raining but generally well stocked with loo roll and cleaned regularly. A bin at the washing up sinks would be welcomed for all those little scraps of rice left in the bowl.
