Electric optional grass pitch
Liked: Spacious pretty site with room for kids to explore and play. Relaxed approach by owners and we weren't pushed to leave by 11 on the dot which allowed time for us to dry our tent. We had a lovely flat pitch which was in the sun all day (when it shone). It was nice to have the option of having a coffee, drink or lunch in the bar. Hubby very impressed with the fishing. Ladies wash rooms were modern and acceptably clean.
Disliked: The boys said the men's wash rooms were tired. Maybe they'll be updated soon. The boys were disappointed that the driving range was closed, as this was one of the things which attracted us to the site. We completely understand the reasons why though. They could do with more than 1 dish washing sink.

From the manager: Thank you for your comments greatly appreciated. The men's shower block is on our refurbishment list as is the wash up room.
