2 bedroom static caravan
Liked: A wonderful peaceful site, the static was well set up especially for our dog with blankets to cover the sofas which made his stay comfy! There’s a great dog walk on site and an enclosed area to let them run off the lead. The owners were lovely ensuring we settled in but giving us space to relax. We even got to see the northern lights!
Disliked: Nothing

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. So pleased you enjoyed your stay and that your dog felt comfortable too.

Liked: Enjoyed our stay at this site, had such a great welcome from the owners.
The campsite was very clean and well layed out, we had opted for a electric pitch for our tent and the connection and service was perfect.
Looking forward to staying again at this site, possible using the Yutz in the Autumn.
Would whole heartedly endorse this site, with it quite location and easy access.

2 bedroom static caravan
Liked: We stayed in the static caravan with our two younger children (aged 2 and 5). We honestly couldn't fault a thing! The caravan was clean, spacious and the bedrooms had beautiful views into the garden. Everything you needed was provided including extra's such as sandwich bags, tin foil, handsoap, washing up liquid, toilet rolls etc. Which I thought were lovely added touches especially as those are sometimes things you may accidentally forget to pack! The site itself is in a great central location for days out. The owners were helpful and lovely with ourselves and the kids. We will definitely be returning! Diolch! 🏴

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked: Everything! Amanda was very welcoming showed us all amenities on arrival, good sized pitches, hot showers, a full sized indoor kitchen area. Clean and well maintained grounds and facilities
Disliked: Sensor lighting in the toilets, if in the shower the light obviously goes off as the sensor doesn’t see movement (you would need to stay here to understand what I mean) no lighting in pitch area maybe a dim light would be beneficial for when walking up to shower/toilet block and another in bin/recycling area
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review and so pleased you enjoyed your stay.
The sensor in the showers has been sorted, so no more showers in the dark. we have taken on board your other comments and will look into more lighting around the site and the waste area.
Everything was great lovely and relaxing toilets and shower block lovely…
