What customers say
Ciúnas cois canála le húinéir cáirdiúil. Tógann aíonna na háiteanna fairsinge, an suíomh áisiúil le haghaidh siúlóidí agus spóirt uisce, agus an praghas maith. Ach, tá na háiseanna bunúsach. Cé go bhfuil an atmaisféar suaimhneach do chuid acu, tuairiscíonn daoine eile fadhbanna torainn.

Upset with site and service, paid £58 for a non stay.plus £25 tow .
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Nice guy from marina next door who towed us off the site, for a fee, and leaving the site.
Disliked Booked 2 nights, got bogged down and stuck in mud as soon as drove on site, site owner was away for the day ,had to pay a man from marina next door to tow us off site, site was not fit for purpose, as we watched another van enter and get stuck as we waited to drive off. Would expect a full refund.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Clean and accessible hygiene facilities. Lovely large space and a short walk to the pub for fabulous food. Had a delicious breakfast barm at the cabin by the lock and made purchases from the smokehouse.
Disliked We booked for mid September and the field was terribly boggy. Fortunately, we arrived to an empty site so managed to set up camp in a dry (ish) spot :)

Excellent location if you want to be by canal and marina.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Excellent location if you want to be by canal and marina.
Disliked Toilets are very small and showers are cold. I understand that there's a proposal to upgrade the facilities in which case I would give it 10/10.

Anonymous Electric grass touring pitch
Liked The quietness of the site, the avian wildlife and the great location.
Disliked The field being very wet in places and the toilets being unclean. The owner is very cagey when answering the phone and this meant I almost didn't bother.

Great location. Cheap. Facilities could do with upgrading
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Great location. Tucked away nicely from the main road. Owner came over for a chat which was a nice touch.
Disliked Toilet facilities could do with upgrading from those built for Warwick Davis!
Site could do with some rules regarding quiet times! Kids running around screaming at 10:30pm round our pitch and twice tripping over our electric hook up ripping it out of the box!
