Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Good check in. Really well kept site and facilities clean
Disliked: Location. I doubt all pitches are the same, but I was just the other side of a bush from a road that remained busy all night, and it was noisy.. Can't be helped, but if I stay again I'll look for a pitch a bit further away
