Twin Axle Caravan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding Touring PitchesJul 2022

The site was booked for us as a gift by a family member. OMG what a site - clean, tidy. There were some seasonal pitches but no personal plants, large gas bottles or awnings with settees in. Facilities were your own - en-suite and very clean. Not far from the M6 but you couldn't hear it. A great stopover if you're going long distance. Bit pricey for us

Fabulous!

Single Axle Caravan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding Touring PitchesMay 2022

Just got back and all I can say is wow, what a site, it's amazing very clean and tidy, facilities are more like the Ritz hotel - large bathroom with showers that has 2 shower heads and pressure knob, the dog walk is a great idea as is the loan of magazines books and DVDs, all in a log cabin again very clean with seating area. The owners should be very proud, it's a credit to them both. Also I found sending a text to order food a great idea, the whole experience was a pleasure and we will be recommending this site to friends and family. We had a wonderful stay, very peaceful.
