Lovely spot, declining facilities.
This is no doubt a lovely spot. Right next to rolling hills and dozens of walks both up hill and flat along the old railway line, and very quiet (I assume unless a late night event at pub).
The plots are huge and incredibly level, each one with its own water and EHU - we were set up in half hour. Waste and bin station right by site but neatly fenced off.
Access ok - bit tight through pub carpark but just go slow.
On the down side the 5 plots share one toilet / shower room and it’s not cleaned daily or looks very well maintained. The toilet was leaking out across floor and a dirty old mop stuck in corner. If you’re an early riser I imagine a bit of a wait. The shower is good and powerful and the room heated and warm but the flooring is plastic matting that needs a good clean underneath (I always take flip flops) and the toilet not cleaned for few days and bins not emptied. No chair or stool in shower area meaning everything has to go on dirty floor which annoys me. Made it rather unpleasant when everyone on site uses one toilet for days without cleaning. Door code had broken and extractor falling off.
The pub only opens Fri - Sun for a few hours a day and the caravanning side just felt rather forgotten. There’s a pub over road that’s open and does some nice pizzas. The site needs an extra toilet. It could be delightful and perfect for us, and we’d probably return but we’ve had much nicer facilities for same money.
I also don’t understand why check out is 11 and check in 1. You lose a whole day and nothing is done in that time it just stands empty.
The dark skies are also obliterated by the great big white flood light that shines across the caravan plots. Such shame.
There’s no contact at check in which tbh means it’s quick and easy which we like though some ppl won’t (but I received 9 emails in the 36 hours before we arrived with demands for money and check in details). Big sign at entrance saying check in at bar but all emails say don’t check in just go straight to plot.
I did like that fact when you book you pick your plot too - all sites should do this it makes arrival much quicker and easier!
