Electric grass touring pitch
Liked: Well maintained site, good shower facilities. Good value for money gated site . Pub local to caravan park (didn't manage to get there this holiday) . Plenty of electric hook ups per pitch and water points.
Disliked: Field backs onto b road which didn't really cause any issues and a railway line is pretty close and constant noise but this isn't the caravan parks fault , don't be put off by this as the sites positives outweighs this ! Before we decided to book we saw this in the reviews but still decided to give it a go and glad we did in the end as we will be returning .

Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked: The site is beautifully planted with trees and shrubs and is spacious. There are seats and picnic areas dotted around along with BBQs for visitor use. There are some lovely walks along the canal tow path.
Disliked: You should always take note of reviews. This site is very noisy due to a railway line and busy road right along the boundary. If you like to be out and about every day you'll find lots to do in the area. If you like to sit by your camper and enjoy some peace and quiet this site is not for you.

Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked: Location was good, close access to pub, toilets and showers clean and very warm showers.
Disliked: Very bad communication from site warden, we arrived after 5pm whdn the waarden had finished work, although I called him before 5 he didn't brief me on the WiFi code, explain that we need a key to access the pub through a locked gate, I had to climb over a dangerous gate to get out to walk to the pub as we were literallylocked in, I called the number he didn't answer I left a message but no return call.
