It was a lovely clean, flat & quiet site, really friendly atmosphere.
Premier powered grass tent or RV campsite (Private restroom amenities)
Liked We stayed on the super pitch which was fabulous. A fenced in very large pitch which included a building with a bathroom, shower & kitchen for your sole use. A covered area with a picnic table. Finally a fire pit area also. It was wonderful.
I’ve left the wifi with no stars as not available but this is clearly stated on pitch up. But that’s the joy of this campsite, getting back to your surroundings and just relaxing. Leave the tech at home and be in the moment I say.
The site has a lovely cheerful vibe and a low number of pitches. The toilets are clean and showers powerful. This is our 2nd visit, it won’t be our last. Last visit we were on a grass pitch no electric and it was great, hence we came back.
Disliked Nothing, they have obviously really considered their offering well.
