Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Friendly, helpful, flexible site manager. Facilities were good.
We went out of season and the site was quiet with only a few vehicles.
Disliked Large site, if it had been full, would be long queues for showers etc.

Very poor site with poor dated uncared for facilities
FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked The location
That we only stayed one night
Disliked The site was dated, the toilets and shower blocks was dirty and uncared for with toilet tissue on the floor in the cubicles.the bar area was chaotic with the staff kids watching kids programmes very loud even though customers was in trying to purchase food and drink, the staff member was dishevelled and not very well presented with a shirt on that was full of creases and jeans that didn’t fit him as he kept on pulling them up around his waist as he was trying to cook, at one point he pulled a pint which he split on his hands and then carried on preparing food without washing his hands, the food looked extremely greasy and deep fried so decided not to purchase anything had one drink and left
The pitches was over grown and extremely untidy, with dog waste at the back of the pitch, the Electrical hook up was covered with a plastic bag and didn’t feel safe so stayed on leisure battery

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked The music in the showers was a great addition to listen in the morning, and they were hot showers.
Disliked Noisy snoring neighbours but what do you expect when you’re in a tent next door to them?

Will not go back.
FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Large pitch and wardens very nice.
Disliked No bar as promised, when it should have been open it was not.
We did have a large pitch but was rough, next doors was like a ploughed field.
The site is just set up to sell park homes.
They advertise a shop but nothing in it.
The men's toilets had 3 wc , but one was permanently out of order, so when it was busy, not good and not that clean.
Recommend to friends Visit again
A good weeks holiday. And would recommend the site.
Powered grass tent campsite
Liked The site was nice and the amenities were nice and clean.
Disliked The cafe bar was never open when the sign on the door said it should be. In fact even when the staff were asked when it opened it still did not.
