Liked: Nice level pitch with own water tap and drain for waste water. The toilets and showers are spotless, definitely 5 star.
Disliked: Not exactly a dislike, but if you're hoping to get one of the hard standing pitches on the river bank that are shown in the main photo, these appear to be seasonal pitches only. The 5 touring pitches are further back from the river, next to the shower block.
