Large Tent - Lakeside Non Electric Grass Pitches (Large)Jul 2024

Came here with a group of friends and had an amazing time. Facilities were clean and of a good standard. Owners couldn't have been more helpful. Lakeside pitch was definitely worth the extra fee. Will be coming back again for sure.

Long, quiet weekend
