From the manager: Thanks so much for taking time to leave a review and we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay, in spite of the unseasonable chilly days! The free Wifi is most effective on the main field but cannot be guaranteed elsewhere but, as you say, that can indeed be beneficial.
Lovely site with very clean facilities & good size motorhome pitches.

Liked: Arrival welcome. Layout of the site. Facilities available. ‘Central’ pitches sectioned off with mature hedging for privacy.
Disliked: Appreciate that the Reception could not always be staffed but would have preferred a bell to ring or an honesty box for purchases rather than call a mobile number for assistance.

Liked: A very warm welcome on arrival and a lovely peaceful location to relax next to the van whilst getting some work done on my laptop. I had Bonnie, my English Springer Spaniel with me and loved the walks right from the campsite. The facilities, showers, toilet etc are very clean and well maintained.
Disliked: Not a major criticism, but a little close to the road, so some vehicle noise into the evening and early morning due to commuters. I do sleep in a VW Campervan pop up roof, so likely not to be an issue in a standard Motorhome or caravan.
