Liked On the whole very quiet and peaceful, good meals available in the cafe, play area for children, good shower/toilet facilities.
Disliked Toilets got a bit smelly towards the late evening and toilet paper was running very low. Nowhere to buy basics like bread and milk.

Liked Lovely site with nice amenities, perfect if you like fishing!
Disliked First time at this site so not sure if it was just a one off, but there was really loud music playing from early afternoon until 11pm at night, and im not exagerating, it litterally sounded like we were at a music festival. did not seem to be coming from the actual camp grounds but from a nearby area. So like i said, it may just have been a one off event.
Also seems like the locals use the nearby roads as race tracks, loud car and motorbike noise until early hours of the morning.
On a side note, the WiFi was terrible, I managed to connect to it for about 30 seconds before it dropping out then was not even showing up as available from that point onwards and phone signal is not the best in the area.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear your stay with us was not as peaceful as our site normally is.
There was an event on in Sandwich which is 2 miles away which caused the sound of music over our site.
This is not a normal occurrence and out of our hands too control. Our free Wi-Fi is new and we are working on improving the coverage across the site.
We are glad you enjoyed our location and faculties and hope you will choose to stay here again in the future.
We'll be back!
