Disliked: No lights on the path leading up to the toilets. No lights outside of the ladies toilets. The mens toilets had outside automatic lights. Toilet floors needed a non slip mat on the floor. Showers were dirty Pub/restaurant was closed until 6pm even though the sign on the door said 12 till 2

Powered gravel RV campsite
Liked: Water tap close by
Disliked: Only 4 of us on-site, we were allocated the smallest possible pitch, awkward to get into. It was like driving through a scrap metal merchants at the side of the pub to get through the gate. Never again, what a mess On top of that it was most certainly the most expensive pitch of our 14vday holiday at £32.

Powered grass tent campsite
Liked: Very clean and tidy campsite in a quiet and beautiful location. Basic facilities, but clearly planning building works in the off-season to improve this. And having the pub so close was very handy for meals! Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Disliked: No WiFi and patchy phone reception on pitches with some networks but not all
