It is part of the Park Resorts chain, and is dominated by Static Caravans, with two touring fields at either end. The pitches are quite big (about 25 sq metres) and the field has many standpipes, and portable showers/toilets/washing up blocks in the centre. I have to say that the water in the showers was always hot no matter what time of day. The washing up water however was never hot. The facilities were as you would expect on such a site, with two bars/showbars, amusements, snack bar, chippy and a pub. The obligatory "man-dresses-as rabbit" shows were on as well as some good family entertainment. Sports facilities included many all-weather pitches and a wonderful indoor pool with flume. ]]> Sat, 31 Oct 2009 13:42:37 +0000
