2 bedroom static caravan
Liked: A wonderful peaceful site, the static was well set up especially for our dog with blankets to cover the sofas which made his stay comfy! There’s a great dog walk on site and an enclosed area to let them run off the lead. The owners were lovely ensuring we settled in but giving us space to relax. We even got to see the northern lights!
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Enjoyed our stay at this site, had such a great welcome from the owners.
The campsite was very clean and well layed out, we had opted for a electric pitch for our tent and the connection and service was perfect.
Looking forward to staying again at this site, possible using the Yutz in the Autumn.
Would whole heartedly endorse this site, with it quite location and easy access.

2 bedroom static caravan
Liked: We stayed in the static caravan with our two younger children (aged 2 and 5). We honestly couldn't fault a thing! The caravan was clean, spacious and the bedrooms had beautiful views into the garden. Everything you needed was provided including extra's such as sandwich bags, tin foil, handsoap, washing up liquid, toilet rolls etc. Which I thought were lovely added touches especially as those are sometimes things you may accidentally forget to pack! The site itself is in a great central location for days out. The owners were helpful and lovely with ourselves and the kids. We will definitely be returning! Diolch! 🏴

From the manager: Thank you for your review. So pleased that you and your family enjoyed your stay , despite the less than brilliant weather. We look forward to see you again, hopefully the weather will be more pleasant.
