Liked: The pitches were level and big, my motorhome is 7.34m long and easily fitted. All the facilities were good and very clean. The owner was really nice and introduced herself to all pitches.
Disliked: The one small problem was the size of the shower cubical was a bit on the small size when you showering the curtain keeps sticking to you and this was a bit annoying.

Liked: A lovely well maintained site. Wcs and showers really clean. The owner was very friendly.On Thursday the local area’s electricity was off because of maintenance work between 9am and 4.30pm which didn’t really affect us as we switched to gas and then we were out for the day.Later the owner rang to ask if everything was working again for us.It was. We would recommend this site as it is fully serviced and,as previously reported, well maintained.
