We are usually users of much smaller sites and when arriving on site to see a vast baroness in front of us, we wondered whether to turn around and make alternative arrangements elsewhere. So glad we didn't though as over our 4 night stay, our feelings developed and so much so, we will be back.
The weather wasn't the best when we arrived, the wind was blowing and the site was very quiet, looked desolate almost and lacked ambience. As more outfits came onto site however, the atmosphere did change and we felt more at home.
The layout was great with lots of small inlets with varying amounts of pitches to choose from so even though the whole site is massive, the smaller pitching areas certainly on the old side of the site were sort after and we chose one of those. The newer side of the site just didn't look or feel inviting. I think once shrubbery etc is more established this may improve but it did lack personality and I likened it more to a commercial site.
The heated floor and music playing in the washrooms was just fantastic, love a bit of radio 2 so was happy to hog the showers for longer than I usually would, good job it was quiet haha.
The wardens were approachable, friendly and hardworking.
We enjoyed lots of dog walks and from what I can gather, there are lots of things going on in the area. We don't do touristy things so cannot comment.
A much used and brilliant idea is the paddock at the back of the site so that doggies can have some off lead fun in a safe and secure environment. I only spotted one pile of poo, shame on that owner!!!
Good basic shop in reception. Bins and water / waste / recycling areas always clean.
We would visit this site again.
