Liked: The site was really spacious, lots of different little areas. Basic but clean toilet facilities and great little shower block. Superb location and very helpful staff. Strong WiFi for such a big site.
Disliked: I could imagine there would be a bit of a que for the showers if the site was full/busier

Liked: Big site excellent location for a walk into the town centre, easy 15 minutes. Good space between vehicles and mainly level pitched, all with electric hookup and water. We set up near the toilet and shower block. It is a showground/ sports ground so facilities are basic, very popular site though, it was quite busy. Hats off to those brave souls in tents! We'll be going again.
Disliked: Toilets are basic but a lot of them. 4 shower cubicles, unisex, each one having shower, toilet and sink, bit like portacabins but did the job. Our electric went off - it rained non stop and there were 4 cables into a hook up box, bit inconvenient but we moved to the pitch opposite in the morning and that worked fine. Spiders in the cubicles, just needs a daily dust.
