Parents, one teenager and one dog spent 4 nights here and loved it. Ideally situated for accessing the miles of cycling and walking trails in Sherwood Pines, and the visitors centre and café. The site was clean and despite the recent rain, it was in decent condition. The toilet/shower block was always clean and everything worked. The serviced pitch was good (although we did have to move pitch because the first one we tried had the grey waste drain higher than the caravan's outlet, so it wouldn't drain!).The electricity and water flowed well. The best thing was the location. The dog loved being able to be off-lead in the forest in moments. The teenager and father loved riding the graded cycle trails. We all loved the café.
A fabulous place for all ages

A lovely, well-maintained site on the edge of the forest. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. There was plenty for us to do with our granddaughter and dogs, and there was plenty of space between pitches. We'll certainly visit again.
Good site
