Relaxing New Year Break
We booked this site last minute as we wanted to get away for new year with our 2 dogs and what a fantastic find. We have a motorhome so our plans were to do lots of walking whilst there and the previous reviews mentioned a footpath into town. Unfortunately on our visit, the footpath across the moor was impassable due to flooding on the day that we wanted to go into town, however this did not spoil our day as it just turned into a great game for our 18 month old Cockapoo who decided that the flooded moors were his own personal swimming pool and he had the time of his life splashing around in the water.
We walked down the main entrance track road and along the main road to Forest Park, a nearby hotel for drinks one evening. It is about a 40 minute walk from the site and was such a lovely venue and the dogs were made very welcome with biscuits offered to them on arrival. It is not the cheapest place to eat or drink but the staff were superb so we felt it was worth it.
We moved pitch on our third day as the wind was really picking up and we were up on the elevated section so moved to the lower section near the exit barrier and it was much more sheltered down there. The facilities were superb with many toilets and showers. The motorhome service point was great too as it was a drive over grid for draining the tanks which we prefer. This site was very peaceful and we will definitely return again.
