Powered gravel and sand caravan site
Liked Nice little campsite for a nights stop over
Disliked Showers and toilet's are coded with is a pain and we’re not very pleasant. Went in the pub for a meal. Pretty sure we were the second table to order. After 55 minutes they came over to say they ran out of sausage and mash for my 2 year old, was told the replacement we chose would take 10 minutes. After a further 25 minutes the food arrived ( we’re not told upon ordering there would be a wait). Half way through the meal we order our child’s ice cream that should have come with the meal. A further 20 minutes it has still not arrive so we collect the bill, complaint and all we got was a measly discount. Appalling especially with a young hungry child who had to wait 1hr and 20 minutes for her dinner.

Liked Lovely in fact perfect pitch as it was hot weather and we had dogs. The shelter of trees.
The Red Lion pub served delicious food at a fair price.
The owner was present and asked how we were - felt safe and well looked after in a perfect environment to explore the surrounding area.
Thank you
Disliked The code to the toilets was tricky when you were desperate to tinkle - don’t leave it until the last minute.
The pig sty building by our pitch - would be so much better if it was taken down and a multi purpose building for toilet, shower and or just a washing up station with a drinking water tap would be an improvement for that field.

Would not return
Unpowered grass site
Liked The pub does good sized portions of food and is the best part about the campsite which is very basic.
Disliked Noisy site, we hardly got any sleep, there was a large group shouting and screaming at 3am but the owner did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, even though Alan claimed he was staying in the same field that night!! No lighting in toilets which have an annoying code to enter!! We were refused breakfast as they were "Saving the food for tomorrow's guests" - OUTRAGEOUS!!! Would NOT return under any circumstances.

Powered gravel and sand caravan site
Liked The pitch was clean, level and well looked after. The on site facilities were basic but spotlessly clean. The major plus is the pub and it's friendly owner, manger and staff. The food was very reasonably priced and quality.
All round for us a good introduction to mobile home camping
