Liked: Facilities very good and very clean. Pitch size was extremely sizeable and loved the use of individual water taps. Friendly staff and made us feel very welcome. Even though we had a lot of rain, lightning and thunder it didn’t dampen our spirits and was beautiful to watch.

Liked: What a great place to stay, easy to access yet secluded enough to feel away from it all, all the staff are really friendly and welcoming and explain everything you need to know, facilities are great and spotlessly clean, and the big bonus is the food and drink available on site, a nice walk into local village with its community grounds or local shops in the other direction make this an easy enjoyable trip away.

Liked: Really nice atmosphere and bonus with the tavern and restaurant being on site. Being caravan newbies we had a few problems with the van, but staff and locals were super friendly and were on hand to help when needed. Couldn’t fault the site and would stay again.
