Public footpaths a short walk away and a fellow camper said they walked to a very friendly local pub that welcomes dogs.

Winter powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite (seasonal)
Liked Great location. Jess checked with me before I turned up that everything was alright. Went in January. Very quiet, very safe.
Disliked Not really disliked, but the facilities weren’t open and therefore it changes things. But it was advertised and I was reminded before setting off.
