FHU cement/asphalt and grass campsite
Liked: Loved the site, clean toilets and hot showers and done as ensuites, hot towel heater in the ensuite. Peaceful site. Cafe was good. Great having a ruined castle there. Part of it was an old pub and restaurant, looked great but we didn't get a chance to try the food. Was fun to see the rabbits on the site grounds running around. Other sideline there too, ducks, geese and even two rescue pony's, Jenny and Fuzzy!! Staff were all nice, especially our grass cutter!! He made us laugh with his stories and the history of the castle. There is a walk from the site to the local town but watch out for deer jumping across the path. Overall a site we will return too.
Disliked: Nothing that we found.

Liked: Everything. Toilet/shower block was outstanding, it's like having your own little wet room. Five stars from me. Site is outstanding, my 12 year old had an amazing weekend, she rates it 10/10. Amazing for night sky. Will definitely be back, but for longer as a weekend was just not enough time. Loved all the rabbits. ❤️❤️

Liked: The pitch was easy to find and spacious. Grounds were immaculate. Lairds Inn restaurant food was delicious. Cafe food was delicious with a great takeaway service. Toilet block full on en-suite in every cubicle clean and up to date. Kids 12 and 16 enjoyed the swimming pools. We had a lovely time and the weather was great so win win for us.
