Liked: Being next to the wild meadow. We even saw a barn owl. Good sized pitches snd the pitch snd putt was fun.
Disliked: Small wooden stakes marking pitches were quite dangerous in the central areas of the field. When dusk it was worrying that the kids might trip on them.

Liked: Lovely site with lots of nature. Lovely walks. Full of activities for the family. Nice bar and restaurant with live entertainment on selected nights. Beautiful fishing lake - don’t forget your rods! Really good size pitches. Toilets and shower areas were regularly cleaned. Would highly recommend. We will be returning.
Disliked: Welcome pack would have been good, even if it just contained the site map. More toilet facilities and bigger shower cubicles. Shop not being open until July, such a shame as they could of earned a fair bit of custom this weekend alone.

Liked: Bar staff were very helpful & attentive; ground staff (Australian guy & young lad on his 1st day of apprenticeship) so helpful, kind & friendly and full of interesting facts about the local area & tips on where to visit.
Disliked: No information pack given, the site is advertised as somewhere with lots of activities & things to do but there was no information regarding this & nothing to tell you how to do these things; it’s not made clear that the restaurant is only open until 2pm through the week. The gym, bar & play barn are accessible to non campers, who also have access to the pitches - as there is no security or gates whatsoever, you actually pass the entrance to the pitches. The ladies toilets were cleaned on the day we arrived & then not cleaned for 2 days & who ever had used them had left them in a disgusting state. The charge of over £50 per night is utterly diabolical & takes the Mickey.
