Liked: What a fantastic site, normally when we go camping we have to venture off site as the kids get bored but not here, the kids didn't want to leave! the outdoor swimming pool was lovely and we had it all to ourselves, mini golf was free, the park was great, they have arcades and an indoor pool which the kids went in on the afternoon. The pub which serves food is lovely and they also have a shop and a café which is very reasonably priced The toilet/shower block was very clean and modern. Staff were very nice and helpful. We absolutely can't wait for our next stay here!
Disliked: Nothing to dislike this is a fab site

Liked: Very laid back family and dog friendly holiday park, the first time I had been and loved it, from the views of the old ruined castle to the lovely donkeys my kids enjoyed feeding. It’s so much better than the larger parks like Craig Tara etc, prices are very cheap in comparison. Would be back again 100%

Liked: We had an amazing week. The pool was warm and we had it to ourselves most days. There is a small cost but it was worth every penny. The shop on site is so well stocked and so kindly priced. A Freddo is 15p!! I can’t remember the last time I saw that. We had 7 ice creams for £12 and savlon for £2 (we drove into Newton and it was £4 in boots!). The park and the area are beautiful, you couldn’t ask for a nicer location. Toilets and showers are very fancy and are cleaned twice a day. Thank you 😊
Disliked: We had issues at night with the midges, this isn’t your fault at all but I wish we had been better prepared for it. We found smoke worked!

Liked: Great walks to the village through forest land. On site cafe that's open till 9. Bar and restraunt on site also. Great little park for the kids with crazy golf and a small arcades. Everything you need for a little get away.
Disliked: Toilets weren't the cleanest. The floors were always dirty and wet but this is at no fault of the site. Site supplied squeegee and mops but no one used them.
