TLC needed with a few cleanliness and fire safety tweaks would help.

Aug 2026

Liked Scenery. Seeing family groups and friends enjoying themselves. Noise reduced about 11. 👍 Toulets and washbasins were fine.

Disliked Showers in need of a good clean - lots of old grass and mucky edges. Had to scrub the floor before I could shower. Couldn’t find anywhere to empty grey waste. Had to empty into the grass by my pitch. Caravans/tents too close together - fire regs not adhered to. Elsan point left a lot to be desired - opened the lid to be looking straight down to the bottom of a pit. VERY basic.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the facilities didn't meet your expectations during your stay. Our shower facilities are new this year and are cleaned regularly, so we’re disappointed to hear they were found in this condition. We also take site safetyseriously and don't disregard fire safety requirements. We will, however, review the points you’ve raised with the team.

Love this site. Will continue to visit. Improvements would be a plus.

Oct 2025

Liked We’ve been coming to this site for over 30 years and it’s improved year on year. The previous owner worked hard to get it to what it is today. The new manager does a great job and she was very friendly and helpful. No complaints.

Disliked Whoever owns the site needs to have the hedges cut back - especially between the ‘roundabout’ pitches and the entrance way to it. One of our group scratched his caravan on the hedge coming into that area and I was inching slowly through to avoid scratching mine. The fence around the lovely, circular stone wall (centre of the roundabout) doesn’t leave much room for turning/reversing into the pitch and a couple of years ago, my brother in law damaged his caravan trying to get off the pitch. There were a group of us (4 pitches) and we ALL said the site would benefit from paths up to the Elson point and the other washing up area. Seeing to these 3 issues would improve the site even more.

From the manager: Hi Pauline, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for being such a loyal visitor over the past 30+ years! We’re delighted to hear that you’ve enjoyed seeing the site improve and that our new manager made you feel welcome. We really appreciate your detailed feedback regarding the hedges, the roundabout area and the paths to the Elsan points. These are all valid points, and we’ll be taking a closer look at how we can make those areas safer and more accessible for all our guests. Your insights will help us make the site even better for everyone. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit!
