The location…
Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch (no pets)
Liked The location
Disliked The campsite was overbooked on the bank holiday weekend for the number of facilities and size of field. There was no light switch in the toilets or showers so it was dark when you used them in the daytime. It was very cramped and cars were blocking each other in. Sadly we had a very inconsiderate drunk family next to us who played music until 11pm when our field was clearly full of young families. The field was next to a working farm so there were lots of flies everywhere. We won't be returning.

Wouldn't recommend
Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Whilst the stay was lovely it had a few flaws
Site was nice and clean
Disliked 1 toilet wouldn't flush
No security cameras to watch car park while my friends trailer got vandalised to a point it put my friends family at risk of a serious accident while travelling with kids.
1 shower amongst the site caused cues a Mile long causing delays to families
No warning when allowed to pick pitch of the cow or sheep pen which caused early morning wake ups
Floor was solid as a rock with stones which made it hard to pin tents down
More parking for site, not enough parking spots to accommodate for amount of pitches available.
