Powered grass tent site
Liked The size of the pitch, that there were picnic benches available and that you were left to enjoy your break
Disliked This site had 2 sets of toilets, the toilets near the camp area were horrific, they had a cleaner who swept and mopped but that was it, no cleaning the toilet, no emptying the bin, no sides wiping over, no dusting above, and toilet roll well that was so so sparse we ended up going out and buying our own. We were only there for 3 days and you could tell the toilets had not been cleaned as the sick and shit in there was there on arrival and upon departure, there was poo smeared on the doors, over flowing sanitary bins. It just felt so dirty. The main toilets were better but only just, the sanitary bins were still very full but the whole presence felt cleaner than the camp site toilets. The men’s toilet had smashed glass over the floor.
The washing up section by the campsite was awful, 2 sinks, the one sink with the hot tap that stayed on when pressed, had no pipe work so the water would pour straight through onto the floor, which was gross having soggy food sprayed up onto your legs. The other sink the cold tap worked perfect but the hot tap had to be pressed every few seconds which is no good when trying to wash up. There was also drinking water which we avoided due to the state of it, we went to the shop and bought bottled water as there was no clear signage to say drinking water and the area was dirty so i did not trust it.
The site had a significant traveller presence which is no problem except for their kids, they were not pleasant and very mean to my children who just wanted to play and enjoy their holiday.
This site is very cheap to stay at and the price reflects that. We chose this site as our break was very last minute and it was all that was available. This site is fine for couples, the glamping pods look great but the toilet and cleaning facilities really let it down. I would not recommend this for families with young children.
