#1 electric grass pitch (large)
Liked: The site is small but the grounds beautifully kept, good size pitches. Despite the toilets and showers on site being very small they were clean and the showers were nice and hot. The washing up area was again small but perfectly adequate. The owners are very welcoming to us. Loved the site and would definitely return.
Disliked: Could benefit from hand towels in the toilets and a mirror. Not a complaint, just a suggestion.
