Liked: The on site pub was lovely. The food was fantastic and tasty. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Good location to travel around.
Disliked: Not being able to unpack near the tent so it took a lot longer with kids and a dog. No one on site when we got there. Other campsite users on motorbikes.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely Review. We are so happy you enjoyed your meal with us. Unfortunetely we cannot allow any cars on the tent side of the field as this is for health and safety. Hopefully you still enjoyed your stay with us
If you want a pub and then crawl into your tent then this is for you.

Liked: The location looked very relaxing as nothing nearby just needed a small shop food in the pub excellent
Disliked: It wasn’t relaxing as we thought the site rules stated no noise after11.30 I had to ask some fellow campers who were sat with music and singing outside if they could keep the noise down as it was 1.45am
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you so much for your review. We are so sorry about other guests making a noise past 11.30pm. We monitor the area and we ask any guests who still have music playing to turn it over after this time. We will up our efforts to monitor the campsite more so ensure that all guests get a good night sleep. I am very sorry you didnt find your stay with us relaxing.
