Liked: Great location on the edge of town. Close to a lake and nice walks. Convenient for town just over 10 minutes walk away. Albert is a nice town with pubs and restaurants. Lots history and an ideal location if your planning to visit World War 1 sites around the Somme area.

Liked: Great site, quiet location in the edge of the small town of Albert, walking distance into town, and ideally situated for exploring the Somme. Clean facilities, welcoming staff. We had a lovely stay here, albeit very brief, and plan to return.
Disliked: Main shower block is better for hot water than the small cabin further up the site.

Liked: Friendly welcoming staff, and close to the town of Albert. Well placed for visiting cemeteries and memorials in the region. Nice lake/nature reserve next to the site for walks. The bread machine was great! This is a nice site with basic facilities (no soap or paper, and a bit dark until the lighting came on later in the evening) but clean.
