Unpowered grass tent site
Liked: Great facilities - hot showers, plenty of toilets, well stocked shop on site, WiFi was a bonus, and dog friendly. Staff were very helpful and location was stunning.
Disliked: Very rocky underfoot which made knocking in tent pegs challenging, might be good to know. Very high wind speeds as it is located in a valley which made putting the tent up and down a struggle.
