Liked: Toilets were really cleaned and well maintained. Looked like they’d been freshly decorated too. As a group of 4 females we honestly felt safe the whole time even being outside til about 1 am. Two different people helped us when we was struggling with our tent. One man that lived on the site was so friendly and honestly we probably wouldn’t have lasted the night without his help as our tent had a hole in the air beam. Such a good price and such good value for money. The fact that we felt
So safe during our stay was such a big thing for us and we’re already planning our next trips there !

Liked: Staff were very polite and friendly, the area was clean and tidy facilities were adequate witha bonus of a Bootfair on the next field the morning after !
Disliked: The only thing I disliked was that there was not any signs saying exit when u left, also there is a fork In the road and you have to guess which direction to take as there are no clues !!

From the manager: Thank you for choosing to stay here and for leaving a review.
I will remind staff to advise that when you get to the bottom of the road after checking in to turn right for the exit and left towards the river and the non-electric pitches.
We look forward to welcoming you again.
