Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Nice place to stay and enjoy the good weather. Also there is a river for kayaking and fishing which we use for kayaking, and maybe next time for fishing too.
Disliked: Only a few places where you can get the kayak into the river. Fishing good from the boat if you're have it, if not its just only a few places where you can get to the river.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: Being near to showers and toilets as requested. Pitch has own water and hook up. Spacious pitch in lovely rural setting.
Disliked: Toilets needed cleaning more often for amount of people using them. Showers need hooks and space to keep towels etc dry. Signposts to direct to river, pubs, etc for walking routes. Shame there is no pub or restaurant on site.

Liked: Beautiful place, wash rooms great, Lovely people
Disliked: Couldn't take our little dog to the shopping area so couldn't go and sit outside and have a nice coffee or anything, didn't expect to take her in shops, they could do with a club house, where people could get together the young teenagers where using the toilets all polite but not ideal
