Non-electric grass pitch (pet friendly)
Liked: Quiet location
Disliked: Lack of bins near field Lack of showers near field Lack of wash up area near field Every thing apart from water a long walk. Some activities not available. A mile walk to lake just to be told trainers only. No other footwear allowed. For a big site I was surprised how sparse facilities were and how small shop was for any essentials that may have been forgotten.

Electric optional grass pitch (large, no pets)
Liked: Good sized pitches with plenty of space around for the kids to run around and play.
Disliked: 6amp electric...tripped constantlywoth just a cool box and had to be replaced. Toilet blocks quite a walk..and dirty/smelly. Extra cost for activities. For £179 for the long weekend, I expected more in comparison to other sites. Needs a bit of money investing to update the toilet and showers and the power supply

Electric optional grass pitch (pet friendly)
Liked: Nice big pitches, toilets and showers were clean. Lots of big open spaces for playing team games etc.
Disliked: Acitivites available for the kids weren't very good really this time and as I spent £64.50 for them to go do them for the day, I have to say I'm a bit miffed tbh and the kids were disappointed. This is our 6th time staying and we have a very large group (had 16 pitches), never had a problem before but this time we aren't sure we will be back for our next camp and are going to look elsewhere, if we come again we wont be payong for activities but will entertain ourselves instead. Also doesn't help that on pitchup fishing is allowed so a group of lads brought their stuff, went to the lake to be told they couldn't fish. Toilets are also a very long way away from our pitches.

Liked: Great ablutions and the bar area was good. Liked the ground markings which made it clear where you were.
Disliked: Quite buggy so I should have packed bug spray! But I'd definitely stay here again regardless. No phone/internet reception at the pitch, though free wifi in the bar.
