Liked: Really friendly people in seasonal caravans. Brilliant bar. Party on Saturday with amazing live music. Wonderful evening. Sunday lunchtime meat draw, so funny. Made to feel so welcome.
Disliked: No one available to check us in or out. Didn’t meet the manager at all. No hard standing pitches available. Steps to toilet block very rickety & dangerous

From the manager: I'm glad there were many likes and its a shame there were dislikes but as it was a very busy Easter weekend I cannot sit in the office waiting for arrivals, I expect them to read the notice on the door and ring me, It wasn't an issue as you are a former season pitch holder with knowledge of the site and the gate security code. I believe I did meet your partner. You booked a grass pitch with electric, we did have 2 hard standing pitches available on the day but your daughter had specifically requested for you the grass pitch opposite her. We take comments on safety very seriously so the steps in question have been taken out of service with guests being able to use the disabled ramp access instead

Liked: Pitch was spacious, clean and neat. At first I thought it was a bit open, but liked it in the end. Was a short walk to the bathroom and shower, which was very clean. A few spiders in the corners, but the cleanliness over rid the creepy crawlies, lol! I like the code security on entrance, keep out unwanted guests 💯
Disliked: No dislikes.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: We liked the location, it was along narrow lanes but access was easy. It was quiet and peaceful, although we could occasionally hear the dogs from the kennels nearby they were not distracting or continuous. The facilities were clean with plenty of toilets and 3 showers (in females). The staff were friendly and checked on us each day. The ground was nice and flat with room to park cars. We were the only tent among lots of caravans and so had a choice of pitch. Everyone was nice and friendly.
Disliked: It was difficult to put pegs in fully as the ground underneath layer was gravelly. Many pegs got bent to secure the tent down as we did have a stormy night, but the tent remained up so all was well.

Liked: Such a welcoming community of people on site, with a bonus of no children. Never had to queue for the shower or toilet and they were kept well-stocked and clean. The dog field area was a welcome surprise. The bar was easily accessible but a good distance from the pitch so that any noise wouldn't disturb. There were some lovely walks out from the site itself and the scenery was beautiful.
