Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

Lovely campsite, play area was great (especially as its next to a really cute outdoor bar) and facilities were very clean. The shop wasn't open but when the owner came to check on us, she lent us what we needed so it was actually perfect! Would definitely recommend. :)
