Immaculately kept with good facilities, but the site has it's problems
Positives:- Extremely easy access, All hard standing and gravel track to access pitches, Quiet & peaceful, Owner was very friendly, Picnic benches supplied for sitting & eating outside, Gas BBQ supplied (50p contribution for gas), Individual tap on every pitch, Toilet facilities are very good, I didn't go in the showers (50p charge for each shower taken) as I used the on-board shower in my caravan but (based on the toilet facilities & other reviews) I assume that the showering facilities are good.
There is a small dog walking pen (around 20mx20m) at the bottom of the field. Too small for my greyhound to run but extremely handy for when the dog wants a toilet break late at night.
The field next to the campsite is used for training sheep dogs. This could either be a positive or a negative depending upon your point of view. I imagine that the shouting would become tiresome after a while, although I personally found it very interesting & entertaining to watch the dogs with their owners rounding up sheep whilst I was having my dinner.
However, this site does have it's problems. Here are the negatives:- Pitches were too close together for my liking (with three units on site it felt like we were virtually sat looking in each others windows), I thought that this site is expensive compared to other comparable CL's, There is a big radio tower at the corner of the site with a high gain microwave antenna pointing straight at the pitches which probably isn't a good thing (I woke up with a headache, I can't be sure if that was as a result of the radio tower). Either way, it's not pretty to look at.
During my stay there was a lot of work going on in a site on the opposite side of the road. Lorries arriving to drop off gravel, JCB diggers shovelling gravel around all day (continuous drone of diesel engines, banging of buckets/machinery, beeping every few seconds as the JCB's reversed etc).
Would I go back? Sorry, I'm afraid I would rather find somewhere else. The radio mast and the racket from the other site of the road are deal-breakers for me. Shame as this is a really nice site. If they did away with the radio tower and racket from the site on the opposite site of the road then I would go back without any hesitation.
