VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass PitchesOct 2024

A brilliant place, a quiet and peaceful small campsite. The facilities were very clean everyday and best of all a free hair dryer! There was a washer and dryer, we had a hard standing pitch, which had its own water. There was a shop close by. A warm welcome and plenty of information before our stay. Easy to get to and plenty of local things to see and do near by.

Very peasant peaceful
