Liked: Reasonably priced, plenty to do, ample sized pitches with good electric hookup (we ran a cool box and 3 phone chargers off it with no issue), very clean toilet and shower block, friendly staff, very well stocked shop.
Disliked: No hand soap all week but I just bought a bottle from the store for £1.20 and took it with me to the bathroom each time. WiFi didn’t reach the campsite, although it worked perfectly in the entertainment complex.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: Friendly staff. Grandchildren enjoyed the pool and arcade as weather was mixed,
Disliked: The toilet block needed more supervision and checking as daughter in law had to go to reception on two occasions as no soap in dispensers and ran out of toilet roll in some cubicles. Realise that half term so lots of children around. Difficult to contact direct as wanted to check/amend checkout time. Took lots of time emailing to pitch up re answer which they couldn’t give in the end

Liked: We were guests for a week (school holiday). We had a great time with our daughter, even though the weather wasn't great. The campsite had everything you needed. Toilets, showers, a place to wash dishes. As well as a very well-stocked shop, playgrounds for children and an entertainment point. We would like to thank the entire team: the reception, the wonderful team behind the bar entertaining the children, the people who made our evenings pleasant by singing and the cleaning staff. Thanks to you, our stay was wonderful

Liked: Location is great, really out the way of things, perfect quiet break. Staff were all very helpful and great with the kids. Shower block and toilets were clean, nice hot showers.
Disliked: Camping/touring field was very unorganised, tents too close together, so much so that you couldnt walk between as ropes were crossed. Some tourers/tents were pitched on the wrong pitch entirely.
