Electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked: The pub was good to have, bouncy castle for the kids and also nice pitch with field behind
Disliked: Minimal shower and toilet facilities, showers were cold toilets dirty and not stocked with toilet roll.
Also no rubbish to be left on site- no bins even for dog poo bags!

From the manager: Thankyou for the feedback as we do appreciate your opinion. The shower and toilet facilities will be looked into and cleaned twice daily. We have been waiting for our bins to be delivered for weeks now and will arrive next week finally. We can only apologise for the inconvenience but it will be rectified. Thanks again

From the manager: Hi and thank you for your feedback. Toilets will now be checked and cleaned twice daily and the bins are due to arrive next week. It's taken a month to get then delivered! We also have a brilliant chef starting at the pub on May 17th so lots of very positive changes taking place. Thanks again for your comments and hope to see you back again soon.
Nice level pitches, friendly staff, ideal for for a night or two.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked: Lovely quiet site, next door to a friendly pub (which we took advantage of) and easy access to local amenities. It was perfect for our needs and the ability to arrive and depart at 12.00 allowed us to do more, particularly on the morning of departure.
Disliked: Although the toilet facilities were good, unfortunately the cleaning and maintenance were less so.

Liked: Lovely rural site behind a Country pub. Good sized pitches with electricity. There are 4 cabin toilets - 2 with showers. These were fine on arrival however over the Easter weekend the toilet paper ran out and then all toilets got blocked . Fortunately we have a toilet and there is an elsan disposal but this might be an issue if camping. You also couldn't leave any rubbish on site - bins would be a bonus.
We had an entertaining evening in the pub and enjoyed the huge plate of sharing nachos and loaded fries. Friendly staff who were introducing a basic menu. We would happily return to this site.
Disliked: Would benefit from toilets being cleaned at least once a day, also needs a sink to wash dishes in ideally.

Electric grass and gravel tent pitch
Liked: Peaceful site.
Disliked: No rubbish bins or washing up area.
Cold shower.
Toilets could do with checking regular.
For the price of a tent pitch the facilities are a bit disappointing.

Electric grass and gravel tent pitch
Liked: The pitches were very spacious
Disliked: The toilet were never checked on, we had to take our own toilet roll and the second night the toilets became blocked but was never dealt with, we left the day after so not sure how long it was left.
The onside restaurant via the pub was not great.
No washing up area or bins which is needed for tent camping.
