Liked: Arrival welcome. Layout of the site. Facilities available. ‘Central’ pitches sectioned off with mature hedging for privacy.
Disliked: Appreciate that the Reception could not always be staffed but would have preferred a bell to ring or an honesty box for purchases rather than call a mobile number for assistance.

Liked: The whole site! Great shower/toilet facilities. Grounds kept tidy and trimmed. Greeted at the gate with a full explanation of facilities and directed to our pitch which was hard standing and grass. Lovely and peaceful and well worth a visit.

Liked: A very warm welcome on arrival and a lovely peaceful location to relax next to the van whilst getting some work done on my laptop. I had Bonnie, my English Springer Spaniel with me and loved the walks right from the campsite. The facilities, showers, toilet etc are very clean and well maintained.
Disliked: Not a major criticism, but a little close to the road, so some vehicle noise into the evening and early morning due to commuters. I do sleep in a VW Campervan pop up roof, so likely not to be an issue in a standard Motorhome or caravan.
