What customers say
Spacious sites by the canal with a great pub next door. Facilities are clean, though a bit dated. Road/rail noise is noted but rarely disruptive. Towpath access can be tricky via lock gates. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Powered grass caravan site
Liked Flat pitch with water and electricity on each, access to canal for walks and fishing. Electric gates and key code system for security. Stayed for one night passing through the area.
Disliked Weren’t sure if we were at the correct location, signage was confusing, no sign to reception had to ring, eventually found it. There is a main railway line and medium busy road adjacent to the perimeter of the site.
