Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: The peaceful location was perfect. With the ability to catch a bus to Cardiff only a few minutes walk away. The showers, toilets etc were all ver clean and large enough a family could use the shower,more like a wet room size, toilets also large enough for a wheelchair.
Disliked: The hard standing area is more of a car park in style rather then separate pitches.
