Liked: The location of the site is fantastic, with great scenery and lovely walks. The staff were great, very cheerful, helpful, and they run well organised site. The pitches are steep in places, but we managed to get the caravan level in the end, all adds to the fun.

Liked: Thought Bracelands was great we loved the forest location and hired cycles from the site, which were great. Bracelands facilities were fine, clean and well equipped and the grass electric pitch was nice with nice views of the forest and in a sunny position. The site was busy as we expected for half term but the site seemed to cope fine. Staff were help full and friendly and we will be going back for another visit as this site is in a great location to explore around.
Disliked: Nothing really.
