Jill United Kingdom

Location was great, lots of parking and staff were nice.

Chantelle United Kingdom

House very clean especially toilet/shower facilities.

Maria United Kingdom

We stayed in the bell tents and they were amazing. So clean and comfortable with a small log burner inside for warmth. There is a light and a USB charger inside the tent which was all unexpected. There is a designated BBQ area which we used (local Co-op sells disposable bbqs and tools pretty cheap). Location is great, plenty of parking and really cannot fault the facilities.

Grace United Kingdom

Friendly staff, clean and comfortable, good shower and good facilities.

Daniela United Kingdom

Very nice, peaceful and quiet area. With kitchen and restaurant

Alizée United Kingdom
