Well, what an amazing little site. Nathan popped round to introduce himself after we had set up and what a lovely fella. The site is beautifully clean and it is very impressive just how well kept everything is. The pitches are a fantastic size so you don't feel all crammed together like lots of other places. Nathan gave us lots of tips, like where and when to get the Sherpa bus so my husband could climb Snowdon, to where the next shops and food places were. But to top it all off, I think our little one had an amazing time, as he's obsessed with animals and Nathan took him into the chicken coup to see and feed the chickens and collect the eggs. Ollie hasn't stopped talking about the chickens and the crazy chicken who escaped. We will be back soon and for a longer stay next time.

Kirsty, it was lovely to meet you and the family on Pitch No 12 :) as you say its a nice large pitch with plenty of room to spread out. Glad Ollie enjoyed the chickens - i finally got hold of 'cuddles' (the chicken who escaped) and she's now safe an sound in her little house again. Look forward to welcoming you all back, thank you for the top review, really appreciate it. Many thanks Nathan
