Liked: Everything!!
Second time staying here and yet again it did not disappoint! Jess contacted us during our travelling to site to let us know our pitch as we were arriving after the office was closed.
Site was immaculate as always, including the facilities. Jess can't do enough for you, helpful with local walks and info when needed.
we were allocated Hardstanding Pitch 1, brilliant pitch, level and well maintained, bonus point was it is right next to the facilities!
Various walks to take advantage of direct from the site, walk maps as well as other local information, including eateries and takeaways, some of whom deliver to site are displayed on the wall at the facilities entrance doors.
really do like this site, you get the choice to relax and stay local to the site, taking advantage of the immediate local short walks or go and investigate the others, or just jump in the car and adventure around the Forest of Dean!
Disliked: Having to go home!

Would be good to have a sign for the site from the main road.
