Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: The park is kept tidy with a good play area for the children. The staff are friendly and helpful.
Disliked: Traffic noise is a problem. The toilet and shower blocks could do with an upgrade as they are very dated. The pot wash sinks needed unblocking, also.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Lovely well maintained site. Perfect for families. Plenty of toilet facilities.
Disliked: A12 is noisy but you don't hear it after night one. It would be good if the lamps around the campsite could be turned off or down late at night. They make the whole tent illuminated throughout the night.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked: The lady on the desk was very helpful.. the man who sited us also very helpful.. overall we liked the Park. The showers not that hot!
Disliked: We asked for a pitch away from the road noise but we were given just that! We felt you hadn’t read our comments. The lady on the desk said to always book direct, so we have a better chance.. Also, after the heavy rain we had through the night, the owner was worried we would‘not be able to move an inch, off the pitch we were sited. Maybe a little bit of hindsight was needed?!

From the manager: Thank you for your review :) We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us, we are sorry we couldn't accommodate your request this time at bank holiday but we didn't have a spare pitch available. We wish you well and look forward to seeing you again. :)
