Liked: Went with my sister , wanted a quiet spot , which we found in the over flow field. The main area we found was more suited to families and groups travelling together. Excellent site for all !! Great reception , good little shop. Small coffee shop and a tiny chip shop that is worth a visit ! Fantastic play area for children . Toilets and showers were clean and had plenty of hot water .
Disliked: Nothing to dislike about this site.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Very welcoming and friendly staff - showers were lovely and the facilities were kept very clean. Bar was well stocked and the children's play area was great and could be used by a range of ages. Shop was well equipped and offered some local pies and cakes. Make sure you arrive early as non-electric pitches are first come, first serve. Lovely, dog friendly site; will be coming back.
Disliked: Bit of a long queue for fish and chips but lovely to have this facility on site. If they expanded the coffee shop to provide breakfast they would make an absolute fortune!

Liked: Location, facilities on the whole, cleanliness of pitches and showers were lovely and warm.
Disliked: Some toilets were not the best in terms of cleanliness. Only 8 showers for whole of site.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your feedback, we are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay, however regarding the shower and toilet blocks we have 3 shower and toilet blocks available on site, this adds up to 12 showers in total. We do like to make sure that all our toilet and shower blocks are cleaned and maintained to high standards. As this was a bank holiday and the weather was not the best, we do tend to have issues with grass and mud, but our maintenance team do go round and check the toilet and shower blocks as much as possible through out the day.
