We wanted to explore the area and chose this site because of its location having usually looked for CL's in the past. We were not disappointed as the site is not too big and well laid out. The staff were friendly and helpful and facilities spotless - lovely hot showers! The trees turned out to be unexpectedly problematic - having chosen a spacious corner pitch we didn't realise that we would be in shade the whole day at this time of year. This meant that our awning didn't dry out and we looked on enviously at others in hot sunshine sipping their drinks outside whilst we had our heating on! We will chalk this up to experience but it's something to bear in mind when choosing a pitch at this site when the sun is low. Our next door neighbours actually moved to get away from the shadows. Ate at the Kings Arms which was excellent value.  Reviewers often make comments about speeds on sites but we noticed a number of dogs barking a lot, spoiling the atmosphere - we loved our dog but didn't allow her to be a nuisance to others. However, we will definitely return as there is so much to explore in the area and would recommend the site unreservedly.
