Liked We were the only foreign visitors at the campsite, but it was surprisingly easy to figure out all the practical arrangements. The information provided was clear and easy to understand, and the pitch we were allocated fully met our expectations. The toilet facilities were also good, and there were plenty of them for all guests.

Disliked The biggest downside was unfortunately the cleanliness and the general maintenance of the site. We came across cotton buds, old balloons and plastic litter in several areas. Directly in front of our pitch was a small stream that was unfortunately filled with old rubbish. I assume that much of it has been blown there over time, but it still left a poor impression. Overall, it did not feel as though enough was being done to keep the area clean and inviting. The toilet buildings were functional, but they looked quite dated and would benefit from some refurbishment. The dishwashing facilities were also less than ideal. Only one of the four taps worked satisfactorily, while the other three required you to keep the button pressed continuously to maintain the water flow. Once again, this gave the impression of facilities that are in need of maintenance. The camping area itself was essentially a large grassy field. More trees, bushes and green spaces would make the site feel much more welcoming while also providing some shelter from the wind, which is often quite strong in this part of England. We were also surprised by how reserved the English guests generally were. It was not easy to strike up conversations with other campers. Of course, this is not something the campsite can be held responsible for, but organised activities such as bingo, quiz nights or activities for children might help create more of a sense of community and make the stay even more enjoyable.
