Powered gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked Lovely site, peaceful and quiet, good walking area for dogs (in the wet weather), really nice restaurant with takeaway available.
Hard standing, gravel pitch with electric good size and easily accessible.
Very welcoming lady at reception and site team that we met during our stay.
Toilet block clean, facilities maintained although dated but functional. We had our own shower so did not use the sites to review.
Other toilet/shower block under renovation.

Liked Quiet pitch with lots of space
Disliked Toilets did not work and the other ones were in pitch black at night so had to use the gents. Poorly lit sight and no real
Amenities open eg no shop and no wifi on pitch. So felt pricey for what we got

Powered gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked Check in was easy, reception lady was very welcoming
Disliked Where shall I start!!!
Pitch was on slop and wooden shingles board on pitch broken with screws sticking out not ideal for dogs or children. we arrived at 1pm on friday. Shower block had mud in showers and toilets had toilet paper on floor and toilet rolls with plastic centres in cubicles for the whole weekend we left at 10am Sunday and they had not been cleaned all weekend. Mould all over walls and ceiling. The power supply kept tripping out at least 6 times over the weekend. The bar and grill had a smell like old chip pan oil and was not pleasant to be in. Driveway had many pot holes which needs maintenance.
