Overall a nice site and you can see its used by a lot of locals
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Very busy weekend on site but still quiet and peaceful. Lovely Bar area and nice food.
Disliked We stayed a couple of years back when the shower block was fairly new and very clean. This time by the evening the ladies shower block had a really nasty smell which put us off so showered in our caravan. I think the drainage needs looking at

Disliked Only thing I’d say is food was a touch on high price side but not to much just thought it could of been a bit cheaper which would of used the facilities more if this was the case

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked spacious plots; good facilities; both in terms of No of showers, toilets etc, and toilet block was clean/well maintained.
Disliked Not much to do and not close to local walks etc. Site was also littered with lots of small plastic bits, bottle tops (and picked up 10/12 abandoned tent pegs during our 2 day stay), so area could be cleaner. Absence of bins around site didn't help this aspect. Shop not well stocked, but Bar was fine. Wedding event on evening of day 2 encroached on our use of bar facility and was not appreciated.

Great for families with young Kids and a Dog
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked We stayed on site as we were visiting Family who live in the area the site is used a lot by the local community so we were able to have a family BBQ on site. Ben and the team were very welcoming. All Facilities were First class Clean toilets clean and Hot showers. The kids play area is great, safe and secure our 8 Year old grandaughter spent hours playing there making friends. Pitches are a good size. Very dog friendly. The Bar and Covered Patio area is great. Food on site is good We had Burgers and Chips one night and Pizza on sunday afternoon which was great. We will be staying again and would recommend 100%.
Thanks to Ben and team
Disliked None except having to come back home after a fantastic Long weekend break

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Size of pitch, the friendliness of the staff, the cleanliness of the shower block, lovely atmosphere around the campsite,
Disliked The cost of food at the bbq, thought it was very expensive for a campsite
The lake could do with the weed being removed and some more swims made
Recommend to friends Visit again
Great trip in all.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (wild)
Liked Great facilities, beautiful setting, great cafe and atmosphere, particularly enjoyed the live music and street food.
Disliked Family camping could be separate, as we camped next to adults drinking and swearing until late at night, which our young children were upset by.

A really nice site with good location and services.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (wild)
Liked The people working on the site were super friendly and helpful! And the site itself is clean and well maintained. There was a well stocked bar and cafe and some great entertainment enjoyed by all.
Disliked There was ample room for us on our plot but the pitches are close together. Great if you are wanting pitch’s next to friends but lack of privacy or solitude of solo.
