From the manager: I am perplexed why you will not visit again but would recommend us as you did not voice any concerns or issues whilst you were here either by coming into the office (about 80 yards away from where you were camped) or call us on our out of hours mobile.

Liked: The space, the views, each pitch had electric, water and grey waste. Clean shower block, helpful staff.
Disliked: Grass clippings weren’t collected so made for a messy caravan as it was wet
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for choosing to stay with us. It is recommended and healthier for the ground and environment to leave grass cuttings. I can however empathise with you on the mess being brought into your caravan as I too live on site in a caravan. We hope to see you again soon.
An excellent site which could not be faulted. Great staff on site.

Liked: Really lovely campsite large area to set up toilets and showers ultra clean and plenty ⭐️
Disliked: Could do with a shelf in shower cubicle maybe a fold away one to save space
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for choosing to stay with us. If we were to have shelving in shower cubicles it would be too difficult to keep the hygiene and cleanliness to a high standard as they are only cleaned 2 or 3 times daily. Adding additional cleans or a longer length of cleaning could be disruptive to guests trying to use the facilities. We look forward to your next visit.
