Liked: We were greeted by a lovely chap who showed us to our pitch and helped us settle. The shower block was clean with lots of welcome hot water. The shop, although winding down for the winter, was stocked with the basics and the staff were extremely helpful. Also good to be able to have the choice of takeaway food, coffee and breakfast on site as the site is situated quite a way from the nearest town. The site was clean and well maintained.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Liked: The campsite is peaceful. It’s in a lovely location and there are nice walks and bike rides from the site. The campsite is clean and well cared for. The kids love the open space and being able to cycle around and make friends. Lovely spot.

Liked: The staff were extremely helpful.
Disliked: When we arrived we were put on an awful plot! - felt like we were on the side of a road. But the staff were SO helpful in moving us to a much better plot. Showers could do with updating - had to keep my hand on the button and it sprayed over my shoes etc.

Liked: The unusual hard standing pitches, set around what was the airfield’s old dispersal areas. A welcome change from the usual straight lines.
Disliked: Push button showers (but that’s just personal preference on my part).
