  • We don't normally do family holiday parks but we had our grandson Tom with us who has just celebrated his 15th birthday so it made sense and we had a fabulous time.
    The park has plenty to offer and their touring site is excellent. Join us on site, at the fairground and on a stroll around the town.
    We paid £108 for three nights on a full service pitch - excellent value.
    Cheers, Helen & Dave

Pinewood looked nice too! As we don’t like to move our big motorhome it’s great to see how far the town is too and whether it’s walking distance. Thanks for your videos, they always show us the bits outside the campsite which is really useful, esp lovely pretty pubs and places to eat out
