Liked: Excellent site. Large dedicated motorhome area separate from the pub car park. Immaculate, level, and everything you need. £20 a night with £6 discount if you use Pitchup. EHU, loads of taps, fill and empty area, 100 yards from Friels pub/restaurant. Friels is a lovely pub, huge covered outside seating areas, inside is lovely too, big open fire, really friendly staff, and the food is superb. Quality and large portions. Great chef, my steak was cooked to perfection (and I'm fussy). We ate there Friday and Saturday, no cooking for me that weekend and live music each evening. I needed a special tool to fix something under the van and they had it, no problem. Highly recommended and will be back. Just go, it's in our top ten and we've been motorhoming for 14 years, been everywhere, 54000 miles so far. John and Emily Flanagan and wee Bizz the Jack Russell from Co Antrim.
Disliked: No dislikes at all.
