Powered grass and gravel site
Liked: Easy to find with Google maps. WiFi does work but no password needed so not sure how secure it is!
Disliked: Felt like staying on a site where everyone lived there permanently as almost all pitches had permanent owners. Washing up taps had to hold tap down and got blasted with water. Didn’t use shower. Dog left parking most of the evening and started again at 6.30. Pitch I was on you could hear the busy road from 7. Well over priced £32 most I’ve paid and definitely not worth it should be more like £19 pn.

Liked: The way out
Disliked: The pitch was small and uneven the hook up was lying on the ground the bins were overflowing the site was full of old RVs and motor homes, in the adjoining field was what seemed to be a gipsy site, didn’t feel safe. Never been to a worse site. And thirty pounds was really over the top for a none fully serviced pitch.

Liked: Absolutely lovely, very quiet and safe. Facilities were extremely cleaned. No network in the area, which it was great for us as we wanted to have a couple of days of total relax.

Liked: Friendly staff, fully serviced pitch, local woodland walk. Pub a 2 minute walk away was really good. We stayed as a stopover on the way to Cornwall and it was perfect for this. Facilities were clean until other residents left all their food waste in the sink, but this is not the site’s fault. Quiet location except for the building work, but that was done by 5pm.
Disliked: Lots of permanent or long term pitches used for permanent residency gave the site an odd feel. Shower/loo block was cold.

Liked: The recycling was well marked for you. The utility company building site at the end of the campsite would provide hours of free entertainment to children with its diggers, dumpers & pneumatic drilling from 9am - 4pm many people seemed to have booked in for the duration as they liked it so much! Our neighbour had rather ingeniously even brought his lovely wheelbarrow with him! Booked & paid for 3 days we left after one night due to a failure of one of our senses unfortunately.
Disliked: There was an answerphone in the reception when we got lost on the way. The owners had gone out for the day, well it was lovely weather to make the most of. Son Matthew was eventually procured who was a lovely helpful young man who assisted us in parking in the pitch.
