Quiet and well kept site
We were disappointed with location and connection to walks which the description alluded to. To get to any walks you had to walk along the road and whilst most cars gave wide berth with a dog you were spending more time waiting for cars to pass. The Shining... Show more

Excellent site with very friendly and helpful wardens. Good views from some pitches (for example 40, 41 and 42). Pitches overlooking dale have some train noise, but we did not find it an issue. No play area which we found good but may be an issue if... Show more
