There are also two car chargers for those of who have electric cars. A designated field allows children space to play football, fly kites and run around.

If the weather turns, a big barn houses table football, and table tennis tables with Duplo and Brio for the younger ones. Four-legged friends can also join you for your stay with 'Percy's Paddock' an enclosed area where they can be let off the lead. Up to two are allowed per pitch and in the glamping units. If glamping is more your style, the site has two options to choose from. The camping pod sleeps up to five, kitted out with a double, single, small double sofa bed and chest of drawers. The pre-erected Canvas Cabin tent accommodates up to four with two separate bedroom compartments, each featuring a double mattress on a low wooden base. The glamping units are set on private pitches with an outside scout-style tent with a campers' kitchen, cooker, equipment and a table and chairs. Please note, the glamping units do not include bedding and shared bathroom facilities are nearby. To complete your camping experience, there are fire pits to rent and wood to buy. BBQs are also welcome and there are blocks to borrow as you will need to ensure they do not scorch the grass. Friday BBQ night has proven to be very popular. For this you need to prebook, but well worth it. You can also pick up croissants and pain au chocolat every morning, with cooked breakfast rolls on a Sunday.
