Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: * nice large pitches * great children’s play areas * lots is space for the kids * catered for large groups
Disliked: * Very noisy at night- both from neighbouring pitches and on-site entertainment * small toilet block near us ran out of toilet paper and wasn’t the cleanest * signage throughout site could have been better * indoor swimming pool could have been warmer * saw a fat rat in the bins * wifi didn’t work at peak times (there is no phone signal)

The Mead electric gravel and hardstanding tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Liked everything about this site the pitch location, the site, the showers, the food, the staff! What a great place for a short break. There is so much to do, you really are spoilt for choice, the pool and spa is great and will deffo keep the little ones busy! You must order food from the restaurant we had pizza our first night and fish and chips the second. I honestly can’t fault the food! We had a lovely big pitch and if you want you can camp under the trees in the dell. We will be looking to go back in summer, but I know it gets booked up quite quickly.
Disliked: Wi-Fi a little ropey, but you are in the forest so it’s to be expected.
