What a site!
It's beautifully maintained, there's plenty of space and very pleasant owners.
There are gorgeous ponds full of wildlife. The only downside: the approach
roads are on the tight side. Highly recommended and we will be back.
What a amazing find
The owners have created an amazing
tranquil clean site. For us the perfect site, stayed 20 nights in May 22.
Quite and full of wildlife well spaced out level pitches. We have a 6.5m
caravan, make sure you follow the directions to the letter, there's no other
route! Still thinking about this fantastic place now. Well done to all
(including Harvey).I thankyou for making our holiday.

Other site owners could learn alit from this site.
dont be put off by the industrial site type entrance , you pass through this and turn into the most beautiful CL site. Immaculately kept Small pond in the site and a much bigger one above , which we were told our dogs could swim in. Dogs don’t have to be teathered , just under control. The owners have a black lab who pops by for a chat . Everything is right about this site, the grass is cut, the waste bins are all built into cupboards, no traffic, no aircraft, just birds singing. There is a shower and loo for your use kept locked and a key given to you on arrival. They are modern and spotless. The owners are just lovely people . And work hard to provide a wonderful environment. Only thing you could improve in is to fence off the view of the caravan storage area but when the shrubs grow up you won’t see it. I highly recommend this site . It’s the best kept one we’ve been on in 20 years .
