Fully-serviced grass tent site
Liked: Located close to a few areas for walks, days out, groceries, etc.
Disliked: For some unfathomable reason a family, with young children and barking dog, were pitched looking directly onto my pitch when there were 2 other pitches free which would have allowed all parties to have space and privacy(???). Pitches have cameras pointed directly onto them (-was bit unsure about this, as site is barrier controlled for security). I would whole heartedly disagree that you get a good amount of space between pitches, and, the road is DEFINITELY not quiet(-and, this was from a pitch well away from road)! This has gone down on my list of sites NOT to return to!

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you appreciated the convenient location for walks, days out, and groceries. We're sorry to hear about your concerns regarding 1: pitch placement -The family had booked after your arrival and had requested that pitch. 2: the cameras- cameras are located throughout the park for the security and peace of mind of our guests. 3: the noise levels- we apologise for the cars passing along the road.
