Primitive grass campsite
Liked: Plenty of space in the pitch. Well signed site. Toilet/showers clean and warm, underfloor heating. Outdoor, undercover washing up area. Water, toilet waste disposal, recycling bins, dog waste bins around the site, good one way system. Alison was lovely. Firepits for hire and wood available.
Disliked: Main roads around the site but not too close, which could be noisy and boy racers driving up and down the road, possibly racing, at 5am wasn't appreciated.

Liked: Easy checking in. Clean and warm shower facilities. Excellent location. Very quiet considering the position of the roads!
Disliked: Minor but it was stressed that that we had to be careful with the electricity. We struggled with this while cooking a meal. But other than that no issues.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked: Toilets and showers are warm and clean. Nothing special but ample. Dish washing facilities look fine too.
Disliked: Site wasn't like description, it is surrounded by main roads and a well lit garage in plain view. It's noisy and isn't like it says on website at all. It's a shame as we were looking forward to a night away somewhere like the website portrays but in reality it was very disappointing. We were cramped next to another camper overlooking a very busy road, nothing like the site promises as feeling like you have the place to yourself, so we left an hour after arriving. We've had quieter and less cramped overnights on pay for car parks. £20 per night no electric in winter is way overpriced for offering.

Lovely site, apart from the constant road noise.

Liked: Friendly and welcoming staff. The toilet block was clean and warm.
Disliked: I am noise sensitive so really struggled with the constant noise from the road. However, my partner said he was not bothered by it.
