FHU gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Pitch was level and site was quiet, was nice to see the farm animals while we were here.
Toilets and showers were pretty clean.
Disliked We paid for a fully serviced pitch and the pitch next door was using our electric point, it didn’t look like there was a power point on their side so there either wasn’t enough to go around or they didn’t book a hook up and they just used ours.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: I'm sorry you had a problem with the electric, we do have electric to all our pitches as they are all fully serviced, I wish you had mentioned whilst you were here & could have sorted it for you, but my apologies anyway & hope to see you again

Primitive grass tent campsite (family)
Liked The friendly staff.
Disliked The ground we chose was very rocky so we had to move our tent a few times. But we are inexperienced as campers.
