Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Lovely quiet site, could choose between hardstanding or grass, electric or non electric. Very convenient and easy disposal points for chemical waste and grey water. The washing up, toilet and shower areas were immaculate. Very large shower rooms with shower, basin and toilet. Didn't need to call at reception on arrival, just park up and text them that you had arrived. 10 minute walk to a bus stop which went into Barry.
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: We only stayed one night, and it rained through the night 🤣 but we had such a lovely stay.
The sore was so beautiful, clean and well kept. Everything was well explained before hand and with young children I felt really safe.
