Single Axle Caravan - Grass Pitches (Optional Electric)Jun 2022

Our first stay here and regrettably just for one night. A lovely clean facility, child and dog friendly and lovely views in a peaceful location at a very reasonable price. We’ll definitely be coming back.

Would definitely stay there again

Excellent site, very well maintained and very clean. Excellent gardens, showers with hot water and wash basins were very clean. Laundrette was also very clean. Site has excellent views. We would definitely return again.

Motorhome - Grass Pitches (Optional Electric)Aug 2023

Very clean, lovely stop over site for 1. Not too far in my opinion to walk to the village and if you want a taxi, you're very lucky, as there are only a couple which I couldn't get at all. The campsite was very quiet and spotless.
