Liked: Smart new shower/wet rooms. Service and food in the pub. Food was tasty and plentiful. Lovely views over the hills from our pitch. Nice level pitches for campervans and caravans. Tents have to deal with a but of a slope.
Disliked: No hot water in the taps in the wet rooms but shower was really hot. May have needed to let it run for a (long) while. No hand wash

Liked: The on site pub was lovely. The food was fantastic and tasty. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Good location to travel around.
Disliked: Not being able to unpack near the tent so it took a lot longer with kids and a dog. No one on site when we got there. Other campsite users on motorbikes.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely Review. We are so happy you enjoyed your meal with us. Unfortunetely we cannot allow any cars on the tent side of the field as this is for health and safety. Hopefully you still enjoyed your stay with us
If you want a pub and then crawl into your tent then this is for you.
