Liked: Everything was great. Each pitch has privacy with shrubs around. All cleaning and washing facilities good. Loved the continuous music playing in the toilet and shower block. Made you feel like you are not alone especially using the toilets in the evening. Location was good for touring around the local villages. Lovely walk through fields and woodland to Polstead.
