Liked: Staff were very friendly.
Disliked: Camping toilets were disgusting so walked to the others which were just as bad.
Food very basic.
Group of adults acting like drunk teenagers until 2am on our last night spoilt it. Told to contact security and there was no answer.

Powered grass campsite (large, no pets)
Liked: Large pitch size
Secure site with barriers. our ‘travel party’ is just two- single mum and son- so it is a factor to feel safe
There were large family groups gathered around the Barn entertainment shed - but there was no noise from the ‘pub’ audible at the tent pitch at all.
Gated play area next to the tent pitches- well away from main access route/ moving vehicles
Was able to have food delivered to site via usual phone apps.
Disliked: Stayed on a very quiet night with just one other tent on the field so can’t really understand why allocated numbered pitches directly adjacent to each other unless it saved money to only power one electric output post?? Thankfully our ‘next door neighbours’ were pleasant but it would have been an unnecessary annoyance otherwise.
The mobile toilet block was super clean but would imagine in school summer break the facilities must be very cramped; cubicles are small and the sinks are washing up bowl size.
The play area was really safe location but the equipment is designed for young children. My son is 8 and was quickly bored. I appreciate there is a second play area at the other end of site but we didn’t get round to checking that out (only stayed one night)
Paid for WiFi, which was fine for phone but not for small device with Firestick- seems you need a touch screen to select necessary options to connect, couldn’t find a work around on any device settings, and staff member at the snack bar wasn’t able to offer any insight, so gave up in the end.
