Liked Great location. Not too crowded. Basic facilities but showers, toilets, etc all kept clean and pleasant.
We had originally tried to book the nearby Tom's Field site but it was full. With hindsight this was a much better choice as it was much quieter and less crowded. And you can still walk to Tom's field for pizza in the evening and a breakfast bap in the morning.
Disliked Quite a lot of the field has some slope to it. But not too much of a problem.
