Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: The whole site. Beautifully kept. Lots of space. Plenty of showers, lovely and warm and powerful!!! Clean toilets too!! We used the tumble dryer in site which was very handy. We borrowed from the games box. Loved visiting the pigs on my dog walk and the neighbouring cows. Reception were really helpful when we needed our electricity topping up late at night, so a thank you for that. Really close to Cheddar Gorge and was able to walk it.
Disliked: Nothing all fantastic, highly recommend. Didn't use the WiFi so can't comment on that.
