" I love: Good location, quiet site on edge of interesting town "
" I love: Beautiful campsite with good sized pitches and lots of natural screening with hedges and trees giving privacy and shade. The lanes around the campsite are cleverly lit with cats-eyes at night so you can find your way to the toilet block but without the glare of big lamps around the site. Very friendly and helpful owners, who take a pride in their site. Toilets, showers and washing up facilities spotless. "
