Questions:-Β  (This review is from the point of view of motorhomers driving a Bessacarr 769 tag axle – 8.56m)

What are the pitches like?Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 

Good – hard ground.Β  Fairly good size but could be quite tight getting on – we arrived when there were a few empty pitches which meant we were able to manoeuvre a bit more (we would have struggled if there had been more vans pitched up)

Is there water on each pitch?Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 

Yes

What is the electric like?Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 

6A in a sealed unit (by which I mean you can’t re-set it yourself).Β  Tripped several times, which wouldn’t be a problem if we were able to reset it ourselves.Β  We were being very careful to turn off heating when using kettle; not using kettle at same time as hair drier etc..

Drainage?Β  Β  Β 

Yes – on each pitch so excellent if you have a pipe.Β  Also a big drive over drain by the car wash

2 blocks with Separate ladies and gents. Extremely clean.

Enclosed cubicles with toilet paper, toilet seats and soap provided πŸ™‚Β  Slightly strange that the hand driers are located up high – would be perfect for drying your hair!
