A large, tidy park with great staff & facilities (pool's a hit!). Spacious pitches. Most loved the value & amenities, though some found pitch spots noisy or Wi-Fi lacking. Dog-friendly & good location praised.

Nice and clean
Powered grass caravan site
Liked The staff were really helpful, the site was nice and clean, really nice area unfortunately we timed our stay just as storm Amy arrived so we got rocked to sleep every night, didn't bother myself, my other half on the other hand couldn't wait to get into a bed that wasn't moving constantly through the night, lol. We had a couple of nice long very breezy walks with our 2 dog and on the whole had a nice relaxing weekend. Many thanks.

Worst pitch EVER!!
Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site (super)
Liked The staff were very friendly, showers nice and hot, food in bar was good. Shop on site.
Disliked We were put on probably the WORST pitch ever for £35. It was like we'd been put in the naughty corner of a car park that smelt of drains in the darkness. No outside grass to put chairs on or any kind of pitch separation just 4 vehicles on gravel next to the toilets!!! There were plenty of empty pitches on site that had nice grass next to them that were up in the sunshine. Should have asked to move but we were only staying one night, but most disappointed I've ever been as regards value for money!!

From the manager: Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re pleased to hear you found our team friendly, enjoyed the hot showers, food, and on-site shop.
We’re very sorry, however, that the pitch you were allocated did not meet your expectations. This is certainly not the experience we want our guests to have, and we regret that it left you feeling disappointed about value for money. We encourage guests to let us know during their stay if something isn’t right, as our team will always do their best to find a more suitable pitch where possible.
We truly appreciate your comments, as they help us improve, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide a better experience next time.
Kind regards,

Powered grass caravan site
Liked We loved our visit. The site is well staffed, with a well stocked shop that has everything you would possibly need and more. The restaurant is warm and welcoming with great food. We took the kids swimming to the nice clean heated indoor pool that again had lovely staff. The night time entertainment was enjoyable and the amusements were a big hit with the kids. The toilet and shower blocks were well cleaned and had everything needed. We enjoyed the beautiful walks also. Overall our first visit and stay here was amazing and we will definitely be re booking.

We’re delighted to hear that you and your family had such a memorable first visit with us – from enjoying the pool, restaurant, and entertainment, to exploring the walks and facilities. It’s especially lovely to know our team helped make your stay extra welcoming.
Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we’re thrilled to hear you’re already planning to re-book. We can’t wait to welcome you all back for another fantastic stay.
