Electric gravel and hardstanding pitch
Liked: We have stayed here before, a few months ago, and cannot fault the site. We asked for a pitch near the facilities and this pitch we were allocated was perfect for us. Fresh water points, ellison points and waste water points are dotted around the site and there is a gate through to a lovely forest walk. Wifi worked fine for us. We had an issue connecting out electric hook up but the lady from reception soon sorted that out for us. Will definitely be back.
Disliked: Nothing at all

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We would love to see you again sometime and are glad that you liked most things. We apologise that you didn't find the Wifi satisfactory but you were right at the bottom of the park and we were fairly busy. All these things do have an effect on the Wifi and we hope that it won't put you off from staying again.
