Not ideal for us
The setting would be lovely in the sunshine. However, if you have a dog that likes water and/or chases wildlife, this is not the site for you. The lakes are easily accessible and the associated wildlife are wandering around as is their wont. I appreciate dogs should be on a... Show more

Beautiful and well organised
We have just enjoyed eight nights at Flaxlands, a beautiful and well kept site. Great to have water to each pitch, no barrels to be dragged around. Owners are really friendly and their collection of poultry is an added interest. My husband enjoyed some fishing and we were able to walk... Show more
