Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Hot water, kitchen area with kettle and micriwave, charging station WiFi, drying room, showers, well kept grounds. Choice of accommodation if not in a tent.

Disliked: Tents pitched on top of each other, not always considerate campers. We booked two nights, locked out of toilets 12-3pm which was a bit of a surprise and great inconvenience to incontinent guests!
