Liked: The site is very clean and tidy. A large site with nice facilities. The en-suites are a nice touch. Good busses into town.
Disliked: The button on the showers. The water comes out for 10 seconds and then stops.

FHU cement/asphalt and grass campsite
Liked: The pitch we stayed at was well spaced, clean and was fully serviced. The toilet block had just been refurbished. Walks around the site were great and wildlife was abundant. Ponds had the usual waterfowl and the odd heron. Cuckoo's calling and buzzards soaring. The Lairds Inn on site is fantastic and dog friendly.
Disliked: Our stay was at the start of the season so not too busy which meant the shop on site sometimes closed which was annoying. A notice on the door would have been good to show the the shorter opening times

Liked: The site itself is lovely, as are the staff. Clean. And alot to do.
Disliked: Sadly this trip was ruined by other campers. Partying LOUD until way past 1am. There was no park rangers around or anyone to call to ask them to quiet down. ( Not being a party pooper) it was a group of about 20 adults. And I never slept that nite. Nor did the kids.

Liked: The clean shower block, the peaceful surroundings and the amount of wildlife is brilliant.
Disliked: No mirror or anywhere to put your toiletries whilst in the shower and the fact that one cannot help get the floor wet. A door on the shower would be helpful. It would be nice if the pub opened longer but, I understand that if they are not busy then it is not viable.

Powered grass tent or RV campsite
Liked: Lovely site, well maintained with exceptionally clean/modern shower block with 10 individual toilet/shower rooms. Has a decent pub which serves good food but check on opening times/days as I think they were closed mon/tue. Didn’t use the pool, games room or cafe but from what I seen looked good enough. Pitch was nice and tidy (grass/electric) with plenty of rabbits running about.
Disliked: Nothing.
