Unpowered grass site
Liked Lovely clean, well kept site, the pitch was plenty big enough, the toilets and showers were clean and tidy with good hot water and heating! The owners were helpful and kind and made us all feel very welcome. It is easy to find and they had plenty of suggestions for things to do and places to see and eat at. The kids loved having a fire pit to roast marshmallows on the evening, which was nice and quiet and peaceful.
Disliked There isn’t anything I disliked about staying here, we will definitely visit again !
