Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: The setting is beautiful, lovely views of the lake and well kept grounds. Clean, well managed toilet and shower facilities. Children loved the play area with sand play. The snack shack had a good choice of food and yummy luxury hot chocolates. If you like water sports, you can book water ski-ing, open water swimming. If not its still good to watch. The wildlife is lovely to see and hear, especially early in the morning. You can camp or book the annexe if you want more comfortable lodgings. We enjoyed a 2 night stay with our grandchildren. The Apple Tree restaurant next to the site has lovely food, reasonable priced, well presented and extremely welcoming, friendly staff.
Disliked: There is not anything to really dislike. The only thing was our pitch was at the far end so the walk to toilets could be annoying, especially in the night .
