Meadows electric grass touring pitch
Liked: The pitch was a good size, with privacy provided by high hedge.
Plenty of showers toilets which were regularly cleaned.
Washing up facilities available.
Disliked: Lots of noise from the glamping area on both nights well passed midnight, no one available to ask for help or patrol of quiet time peacekeeping which resulted in shouting from some to request noise reduced only for it to be ignored and aggressive shouting ensured, which isn’t at all family friendly.
Concerns on ability of staff to provide quick and safe first aid. Witnessed a broken foot which took a long time to coordinate help for.

Meadows electric grass touring pitch
Liked: Good size pitches with hedgerows either side for privacy. Good location. Lots to do on site, so good for families.
Disliked: Big busy site for us, better if you were a young family. Didn't like the showers Luke warm and not very powerful . Used swimming pool once. Far too busy and showers not functioning that day, so had to dry off and walk back to our nearest shower block.

Liked: Overall a nice site. Good pre arrival information. Toilets and showers okay. Nice pitch size.
Disliked: The prices on site were as expected, expensive. Whist we are self sufficient, we could have been persuaded, but prices put us off.
Tried to check in on time but touring reception was closed. Not obvious how to get in so needed to drive back to main reception
Water for van - we found a tap near the waste area, but not well signposted or obvious
