Liked: We enjoyed the whole place, which was very clean and tidy, with excellent amenities. Plenty of room for each caravan and car and a quiet site. it is open all year round which would be very useful for us visiting elderly relatives and needing a campsite now.
Disliked: I disliked the cold shower that I had. no matter what I did I couldn't get it to be any hotter than lukewarm. that was unpleasant. My partner had an excellent hot shower but we used different showers.
