Great pitches and very helpful staff
Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site
Liked Pitches are a great size with plenty of room. Staff we met were friendly and very helpful. Facilities were spotless.
Disliked Imagine there would be times when there is limited toilet and shower facilities when site is busy. The assumption is often that caravan and motorhome owners will use their own but we find this frequently not the case

I think the facilities cope well with a mix of early risers and those who have a lie-in!

Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site
Liked Very tidy site. Impressed with Derek who does the gardens and the maintenance. We watched him working, seemed to be loving the job. Loved the Kingfisher view point but didn't get a siting. Walks along canal wonderful. 33 different bird sitings,on app,
It's the place to be if nature is your thing.
Liked the novel pipe to the caravan for grey water. The only negative thing the shower/toilet block is dated. This is not a problem most people have their own facilities and it didn't detract from the pleasant stay here. They were adequate. Nothing to moan about.
Didn't see the owners, that's a good thing as we had no problems which says everything was good. We will go again. Much less rules and regulations than caravan club sites which was a relief.
Stayed first week in May 26
