Electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked: Great location, really good pitch and plenty to see and do.
Disliked: Our water had been taken by other guests but wasn’t a huge deal as the pitch next to us was empty all weekend so we just used the neighbouring tap. Wifi at the pitch was non existent and is advertised as wifi good.
