Liked Clean, tidy, nice walk/path to the local town accessible from the back of the campsite.
Disliked Shower button had to be held in. Nearest electric hookups didn't work. Only stayed for one night, so not really an issue.

Electric grass and earth pitch
Liked Lovely little campsite, very friendly owners, great spacious level pitches. Plenty of shade on hot days.
Good facilities for washing up, recycling, rubbish and bbq coal.
Disliked Showers and toilets were quite dated and showers not overly clean, drains were blocked so you stood in a puddle of other people’s hair whilst showering. Wasn’t overly pleasant.
Don’t forget your shower shoes!
