Liked: Good Location, friendly reception on arrival. Fresh water on site for topping up van tank . Phone signal worked fine and the local super market wasn’t far away
Disliked: I wouldn’t say disliked but we arrived on a Monday and was hoping to eat at the pub but the pub wasn’t open on a Monday (suggest checking the pub opening hours if you want to eat at the pub) . Had to pay extra for electricity which I’ve never come across before
