Liked: Staff were super friendly throughout our weekend. We had meals in the bistro, food was amazing! It was our first holiday with our 2 labrador puppies, they were able to be with us everywhere we went on site which was amazing. The toilet block was very clean, modern and had all the facilities we needed.
Disliked: The size of the pitches were small, we did feel we were on top of other campers who were next to us. (electric pitches)

Liked: Lovely toilets/ showers in the Gym area. Lovely bar area.
Disliked: We were parked on the gravel car park rather than the main campsite area. Probably my fault as I booked gravel because we didn't want to be on grass. Was a bit noisy from the bar but it did close relatively early.
