Very peaceful site.
Stayed for three days to attend our daughters dance show in Basildon. Only our second stay away since getting our Moho. Very quiet spot among the horse paddocks with just the sounds of nature. All facilities as described with absolutely no complaints. Will definitely be booking further stays.

Nice little site.
Nice little site, some sound from the A13 Road noise, but it did not bother us! Two pubs near by, with food. There is a toilet on site, we did not use it so no comment on that, also the field is level. We will be returning.

A Good One!
