Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch (lake view)

Liked: We were late arriving but clear directions to our gravelled, serviced pitch were given to us, over the intercom, at the gate. Spent a lovely, quiet night here.
Facilities were exceptionally clean and tidy, they even had breakfast available in the morning. Would use again if passing this way in future.
