Liked: Nothing not to like. Amazing place to stay. Pub with food attached to campsite. Level hardstanding pitches. Toilets and showers cleaned regularly 👌
Disliked: Slow and cold washing up area. Motorhome we was parked next too (already there when we arrived) had habitation entrance door and sun canopy on drivers side and took up some of our space. So we couldn't wind our canopy out and sit on that side of our moho. Perhaps they should have been told to drive inwards.
