The only issue was the cooker. It was difficult to light the oven as it had to be lit with a lighter as would not light automatically because button didn't work. Possible health and safety issue. Could do with some hooks in shower room to put wet towels on. Had a lovely stay.

Also there was a sign stating if dog mess was found left around your caravan area you would be charged £50 for the cleaning company to remove it, unfortunately there were a number of dogs wandering around the campsite so obviously this is unacceptable.
