Spotlessly clean, beautiful location, perfect get away.
FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Beautiful clean, friendly site. I loved how each pitch has the individualised private feel to it.
The freedom field for dogs is amazing. The onsite bar and food amazing too.
The toilet/ showers, washing up facilities and the room to empty and wash the caravan toilet was fantastic 10/10 for all your amenities and bonus is you are only 75 min drive away from us, so we will 100% be back. All in all we had a fantastic time staying and we will definitely come back and recommend.
Oh and so close to loads of local points of interest we spent the day in Shrewsbury so much to see and do so you are an ideal spot to venture and see what Shropshire has to offer. ❤️
Disliked Our only dislike is we didn’t book longer, we didn’t want to leave.
