Happy Campers ツ
We spent two great nights in one of the Romany caravans this weekend. On arrival we were met and shown to the caravan which was lovely and bigger than expected. The amenities were pointed out and our son was excited to hear he could have fresh croissants in the morning. We were very impressed by the cleanliness of the caravan and more so with the toilet and shower block which were conveniently position opposite the caravan. We had a lovely meal at the pub we had been recommended on arrival. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have already been discussing the possibility of returning next year.
The best facilities on a campsite seen for a long time spotlesssly clean site exceptionally friendly site. we came in between xmas and new year where wine and nibbles were provided and lots of campers stood at top of site watching new years eve fireworks that were in area. we stayed in the romany caravans which were amazing and so warm. Cant wait to come and stay here again.
