Good site, good location. Quiet on time and clean & tidy.
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Space, park and chippy.
Disliked The showers dont have enough hooks or a bench in them, so its alittle bit of a juggle to keep things off the wet floor.
The shower block near the bar is much better. Main toilet/shower block near park
