Had a 2 night stay over the bank holiday weekend. 4 Adults 2 dogs. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Explained everything clearly. The facilities, toilets and showers were very clean and modern. The site had plenty of facilities, coffee man, fish and chips and a cafe. Great pace for a short stay. We will be back. Only thing missing was a pub.
