Liked: The pitch was a good size.
Chris very helpful.
Disliked: The facilities were not great
Simple things like put a mirror up above the sink in the ladies.
The gents window was clear so people could see in as you pee.
The facilities could do with a refurb to be honest. Great you have a fridge /freezer to use.

From the manager: Easter Friday was horrible weather and everyones pitch was wet (55 min of rain), though it dried out as the weekend went on, as did the pitches. Its a shame that you gave us a bad review for the weather on your one night stay with us.
We put you near to one of our toilet blocks as you requested and you could have used any of the others.
We are not sure though why you gave a 4/10 for child friendless as you did not have any with you, or did you go in the rain to the play park? We did not see you in the games room either.

Liked: Lovley site, staff really friendly and happy to help and gave a nice brief run through on arrival, toilets and showers well maintained and clean throughout our stay, small shop on site which is open more often in busier periods. Good size pitches, very family friendly. Games room a big bonus for our family as keep the teenagers and older adults busy during down time. Nice little park for the younger children, we really enjoyed our stay and both our family and my friends family said they really liked the site and plan to return in the future.
Disliked: Only slight downside of this site is the eletric hook up was only 6amps. But wasn't really a issue except we tripped the eletrics putting the heating on high on one of the colder nights.
