Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked: Can’t wait to go back! Very friendly welcome, attentive and helpful. Lovely quiet site with wonderful views. Showers were good and toilets clean. Good facilities, only thing I’d say is it could do with some paper towels or something to dry your hands on.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked: Owner very interactive with campers. Made sure he gave everyone the time of day and shared his vast knowledge of the local area with you as you arrive. Lovely little site. Facilities were basic but plenty for the site. Toilets and showers were clean and had toilet roll. Showers had good pressure too.

Disliked: Water a little temperamental but nothing that effected our stay.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked: Absolutely stunning park. The facilities were always clean and plentiful The additional facilities for dogs and the places we could take her in were amazing There is a bus stop right on the outskirts of the park making it simple for travel We will definitely be returning

Disliked: The only thing which could be improved on is the wifi- on wet and rainy days the lack of wifi in the touring pitches made things awkward - some extenders would not go amiss
