Electric hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked: Pitch good size, gravel and grass EHU and water at pitch, location everything in walking distance that you need. Promande, pubs, shops, takeaways, great dog walks, Clean, tidy friendly small site with everything you need laundry area, toilets and shower.
Disliked: Not really a dislike as still usable shower pressure really low. Also not a dislike just a suggestion A little info on arrival, like map of area, what's going on.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch (lake view)
Liked: Loved our few days staying here. Nicki was the perfect warden, full of information and really helpful. The lake view was great with baby swans floating around. The pitch was as you would expect. Showers and toilets were clean.
Disliked: No dogs allowed on beach! Not a reflection on the campsite though.
