Liked: Really cosy accomodation and some really nice little touches like the bottle of milk and some local coffee on arrival. Excellent value breakfast on site and although we didn't try them the cakes in the cafe looked fantastic.
Disliked: Shower was a little slow to drain but was powerful and good amount of hot water.

Liked: Absolutely loved the site, we were a group of 15 with dogs. Great for dog walks, close to any shops needed. The cafe on site is fabulous, we had a Sunday roast in there and it was beautiful. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The shower block is lovely and very spacious, pitch sites are a good size as well. We felt very safe there. The staff explained everything and we're happy to answer any questions if we had them. The little animals farm is great for young and old kids lol. The whole site is well maintained and the views are stunning. I would definitely reccomend.
