Overall, a good stay
It seems slightly unfair to offer any somewhat negative comments, when the owner is so friendly, but this is a review after all, so I am telling it as I saw it.
This is effectively an eight-pitch site, with the first three reserved for friends and family, with the CL beyond that, in the same field. The site is long and harrow, sloping down from left to right, and if there were only the five pitches, there would be plenty of space, but as it is we thought it was cramped, as evidenced by many campers having to park their cars in front of their vans, as there was insufficient room to the side.
Pitches one to three had hardstandings, four and five are grassy, and slightly larger we thought, but of course these were taken when we arrived. We were allocated pitch 3, even though 1 and 2 were vacant, and I got the impression these were reserved for regulars. Unfortunately, our pitch was next to the elsan disposal point.
Having got ourselves set up, we were bombarded by acorns from the tree above, so had to wind up the legs and move forward 6 feet. The owner was apologetic, and said this only usually happens later in the year, but there were acorn husks all across the gravel and grass near us.
Security is tight to say the least, with a gate and a recorded voice bellowing 'you are being recorded by CCTV' every time I left the site on my morning jog.
Recycling had to be bagged up before being left in the bin, meaning extra plastic, which seemed odd.
We had booked a week and overall had an enjoyable stay, but it was not particularly cheap and I doubt we would stay here again, mainly for the cramped feeling we endured.
