Large well maintained site with excellent facilities.
Meadows powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Good clean well maintained shower & toilet facilities. We were on an electric pitch these had a hedge on three sides giving shelter and privacy. There were a variety of food outlets and a well stocked shop for food. There is a large outdoor pool with lifeguards.
Disliked The pool does shut at 5pm which in July seemed a little early

Site kept clean and tidy by staff.
Meadows powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Pleasant staff on arrival who were informative and welcoming.
When we requested a change of pitch we were given options that we could look at which suited our requirements better. All options were acceptable.
Accessibility of public transport. Bus stops outside main entrance.
Options for eating if one did not want to cook.
Bar/restaurant not overpriced.
Toilets showers cleaned frequently. Although one block was out of action when we arrived, another 2 blocks were within easy reach.
Campervan pitches within easy access of fresh water and hook-up available.
Disliked Nothing really.

Anonymous Paddock powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Nothing
Disliked Touring pitch was what seemed like ash and dirt mixed together
Pitch was constantly in the shade due to the amount of trees around the pitch
People kept using the pitch as a short cut to get to the toilets which meant they walked along side our Touring caravan and kept looking in
Didn't see anyone cleaning the toilet block at anytime during the day
Should have been there for the week but lasted 24 hours before we decided to pack up and book on another site

A good site for families but room for improvement
Meadows powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked A great site with lots of activities, good outdoor pool
Good cafe with reasonable prices
Disliked Pool opening hours esp being closed sunday afternoon.
Toilets & showers not clean and two of women's toilets were broken
Oir pitch was awful, no grass or hedge as promised on website, just stoney ground. We asked to be moved closer to family but was told there were no spaces but there were several vacant plots.
