Liked: The site was nice and clean the bar/restaurant was new and fresh looking and nice food etc. we arrived late at night 10pm ish and there was still chance to get food from pizza van outside which was a bonus and the bar both open until midnight.
Mainly all the staff were very nice and helpful not one of them was miserable so that was the main pleasing factor for us.
Also the shower and toilet block in the touring site was nice and clean the showers were brilliant!
We will definitely return
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: The staff were fantastic, so thoughtful and kind. The life guards were also amazing.
Night time entertainment was the best we have been to.
Stone baked pizzas were the best.
Disliked: Activities weren't available till after 1.
Pool times changed and we weren't notified and we went to the pool with the kids all ready and it was closed.
Food and drinks very expensive.
Locks on bathroom doors at restaurant didn't work on both male and female, adults walked in on kids on the toilet.
No toilet roll anywhere in any of the toilets.
Showers need a seat in them, even the disabled bathroom didn't have one in the shower or a hand dryer. Toilets very dirty.
No park on site at all for the kids.

Liked: Good variety of things to do, nice clean facilities
Disliked: It would be preferable to have separate grass pitches for caravans and tents. A good many of the pitches we saw (including ours), had deep hollows and deep tracks in the grass from caravan wheels, which isn't good for pitching a tent on

Great site, family friendly…we will be back

Liked: Brilliant park!
Had a great time loads for the kids to do.
The toilets were clean(ish) they said they cleaned them every hour but wasn’t sure about this as they were blocked a couple of times and the toilet paper wasn’t changed all of the time. Would say take your own.
The shower block was clean and tidy and the showers were hot. I have seen a couple of people comment that there wasn’t enough places to hang clothing and I agree. But I will take a warm shower any day.
The pitches were great but if camping take hard ground pegs as we struggled with the pegs in areas.
I saw a few comments about the pitches and worried before we went. They were fine, no flooding when we got there and there were some hard standing pitches for camper/caravans. It rained Friday night (the site can’t help the weather) and we got some puddles under the tent. But it did not let the place down.
The swimming pool was warm every time we went, you have to book every time you want to swim and only get an hour but it was enough as there aren’t slides or anything but was a welcomed break in the day.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming.
I again worried that there would be noise past 9pm. Honestly there was but I think we must have had a great group of campers as it was quiet before 10pm and there was no arguing or shouting.
We were not bored at all and we will be back!!
Disliked: Honestly the only thing that let it down was that there wasn’t allocated pitches. When we arrived there was no guarantee that you would get an electrical pitch despite paying for one.
