Liked: The layout of the site made it feel small and exclusive with plenty of hedges and bushes providing the illusion of seclusion. The pitches were level and of a good size.
The facilities were overall very good and clean.
A very welcoming site.
Disliked: A personal dislike, push button showers that only run for about 30 to 40 seconds at a time. The water could also of been a little hotter which of course can't be controlled with this type of shower. Not a huge mark down but an area I feel could be improved.
Whilst a rural setting, the site backs onto a main road which is very noisy late into the night and from the early hours. Less of an issue for the motor homes I guess, but very noticeable in a tent.
Just a note to those for whom it is important, the WiFi is pretty poor. Phone signal was not great but the Internet speeds were better mobile.

Liked: Great quiet site with lovely well kept grounds and super facilities.
Great toilet, washing and showering facilities which were super clean. Plenty of hot water evening and early morning.
Owners really look after this place and make a real effort for their customers.
Received an email from Anne the Park Manager a few days before, with a site map with my pitch number and she also left a
phone message for me which was a nice touch because I was arriving late so I was given the code for the security barrier.
It’s good knowing that only those with the number can gain access to the site so you know security won’t be an issue.
The stay was nice and quiet with no road noise.
I was in a pitch in the main field area directly behind the facilities block and scorching some noise but there was none, everyone respecting the quiet hours.
The free wi-fi was dropping in and out but I managed the Champions League game last night streamed which was a bonus. The owners do say that reception can be up and down, so there’s no issue there.
TV signal was really good too.
I’ll certainly be looking to stay again in the future.
Lovely site - thank you Anne.
Disliked: Nothing - thank you for a great stay.
