Camping pod
Liked: The site was really nice and many amenities close by. Stayed in a camping pod ( 2 adults and 1 large dog), we really enjoyed our stay and wished we had booked for longer. The pod is warm and comfortable, with a carpeted floor, plug with 2 sockets, a lamp and a mini fridge. The staff were very friendly, especially, the lady on reception. Toilet/shower facilities are clean and close by! Dog friendly site! Will definitely return!
Disliked: Wouldn't say we disliked anything, but the WiFi could be better. We couldn't connect. However, not a big issue.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Straightforward easy check in, good information given on location of pitch and amenities
Disliked: Pitch condition needs to be improved, toilet/shower block dated needs upgrading, elsen disposal point needs updating as it sits at the top of a small ramp and is of the open sewer type so possibility of over spill when emptying cassette and running downhill onto your footwear evidence of this had happened was visible

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Easy check in, central to the town
Disliked: Touring toilet block could do with a refurb very dated and small for the amount of pitches and the pitches could be a bit bigger. The water points need moving as other campers need to walk over pitches and this can cause issues.
