Not ideal for us with kids, but if you fish it’s spot on

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Warm welcome, good access. Facilities clean , wc a& shower block the warmest been in! Huge shower cubicles Hard standing pitches were spacious and pretty flat.
Goats and chickens a cute feature well looked after
Fisherman’s paradise for sure
Disliked: Nowhere does it state it on the banks of the m69 noise was huge impact on our stay wish I’d done better research. Grass areas very boggy on camping area (expected round lakes) no open fires or fire pits yet group clearly sat round one and they also had cheek to snoop round our pitch and take items off our pitch . Not good camping code!
Dogs are allowed BUT we went for the walks and they’re not allowed around the lakes so very limiting to just the driveway and field
My bad: as there’s a photo of a play area thought our kids would have access to it but it’s infact part of a child day care facility on the site.
Personally don’t like to be washing pots up and having to smell and hear peoples toilet waste being emptied (there a wall to shield splatter) just felt wrong washing up area and toilet waste being emptied. Would we stay again, no but it’s not by any means awful just sadly not for us this time of year and motorway noise at5 am

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Made to feel welcome on arrival. Was advised to select any of the available pitches. Most pitches were quite level but some were on a slight slope.
Disliked: The first electric hook up point was damaged and was not safe to use, dog mess on the grass by the side of the gravel pitch, we moved to a different pitch. If you want to practice avoiding pot holes the road from the reception to the motorhome pitches is the ideal place. The toilet and shower block was looking tired and lacked maintenance, the men's block had two showers both with overhead shower head that looked like they had never been cleaned, and only one had a shower head on a hose which spurted water everywhere. There is a bucket and mop provided to wipe up any mess, but the bucket didn't have any water and couldn't be filled up in the toilet block.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Lakes and surroundings, good for fishermen.
Disliked: Motorway close by and noisy during the day, but for fisherman It should be fine. Not so good if you are staying for the week, like we were, and not fishing. We had some brown outs on the power post, just a few blips when the kettle went on but enough to make us think about changing to the gas kettle.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Easy check in.
Plenty of space between pitches.
Toilets & showers were very clean & warm.
Nice setting with the lakes, will be lovely in better weather.
Disliked: Only thing we found was that some of the EHU points are quite a way from the hardstanding pitches in the middle where we were asked to pitch.
Our 5m lead would not reach unless we moved the van onto the grass.
We moved pitch to one on the outside in the end
All good.
