Liked: Stayed for two nights, really nice quiet site and was close to St George’s Park for my two day course. The reception was really helpful as I arrived out of hours and left each day before reception opened but they arranged so I could have the shower/toilet block key and the gate code.

Liked: Spacious pitch. Near a marina
Disliked: Distance to toilet only two toilets and showers. Both occupied so had to walk to others on other side of the marina. Not allowed to walk through but had to walk around. Noisy in the morning with tractors passing on the road behind the pitches. Web site said to wait in moho for someone to show you the pitch on arrival. This didnt happen . Poor signposting but found the reception and checked in there.

Liked: Location on the marina was pretty and had pleasant walks along the towpath.
Disliked: The facilities were shared with the boat owners that stopped off. They were very dirty and unpleasant. So much so, i did not use them. There were more facilities a long walk away which apparently were better. A deposit was charged for a key to the facilities...so I think the issue was about them needing a full upgrade and more regular cleaning maybe.

Liked: It was a close drive from burton relatively easy to find Nice walking down the canal find a nice little pub good plough every one very friendly and welcoming
Disliked: The only dislike we had was the drive down the drive for too many pot holes could do with being filled in and would benefit with a play area and to say parents to supervisor and they don’t take any responsibility for injury etc
