Single Axle Caravan - The View Fully Serviced Grass PitchesSep 2023

My first trip in a 'new to us caravan' after a few years away from the scene. We arrived at a beautiful campsite to a warm and friendly greeting. They couldn't have been more polite. I asked about a gas refill and was told to go pitch and they would sort it out for me. Within 5 minutes, two guys were at my caravan with a new gas bottle for me. They asked if they could help with anything else and at the time I didn't think there was. Once I pitched up, I realized I didn't have the correct connection for the water tap, went down to the shop to buy a new one to find out they had just sold the last one. Well, that wasn't good enough for the guys, they lent me one of their own until I was able to replace it. Everyday they were out cutting the grass, cleaning toilets and generally keeping the site on an awesome condition. The views were gorgeous and I couldn't have asked for better. There isn't much to do on site but that isn't how it is advertised. However, because of this it has to be the quietest, most relaxing site I have ever stayed at. Would I go again, you better blooming believe it. I would fully recommend this place. Awesome doesn't come close.
