Meadows electric grass touring pitch
Liked: Easy check in . Lovely sized pitches with hedges to separate for privacy .
Lots to see and do . Everything on site so no need to leave . Handy bus stop just outside
Plenty of toilets dotted around site , and water taps . We had a lovely pitch right by all of this .Wi fi was excellent
Disliked: The showers were not powerful , and no where to put toiletries ( maybe a small shelf would be good )
We had fish and chips one evening for a treat , but were disappointed with them , the chips were dry and the fish batter soggy , more like food from Iceland shop , than proper fish and chips ,

Paddock electric grass touring pitch
Liked: Site was very clean. Showers / toilet facilities good. Relatively low cost for the pitch.
Some good activities for children but quite expensive.
Disliked: Pitch was very worn for so early in the season.
Noisy. Someone was allowed onto pitch just behind ours at gone 23:00. They then spent the next 45 minutes setting up.
Site is located not far from a road that seems to be popular with motorbikes and high performance cars. Sounds of people ripping up and down road until 02:30 in the morning.
WiFi only available near to main entrance. Coverage does not extend to touring pitches.

Meadows electric grass touring pitch
Liked: The pitch was a good size, with privacy provided by high hedge.
Plenty of showers toilets which were regularly cleaned.
Washing up facilities available.
Disliked: Lots of noise from the glamping area on both nights well passed midnight, no one available to ask for help or patrol of quiet time peacekeeping which resulted in shouting from some to request noise reduced only for it to be ignored and aggressive shouting ensured, which isn’t at all family friendly.
Concerns on ability of staff to provide quick and safe first aid. Witnessed a broken foot which took a long time to coordinate help for.

Liked: It was so quiet and peaceful in the meadow and the birds chirping away were beautiful - we counted 15+ different birds
