We phoned up before leaving and spoke to Lisa. Who told us their pitches were waterlocked, but they already had a motorhome booked in ,but we were more than welcome to come and see. Which we did. On arrival and speaking to Lisa we were offered a place to park. We stayed, had a drink a meal and partake in the evenings Bingo. The staff and the locals were very welcoming and didn’t seem to be perturbed when my wife won a game. All in all a great evening.
Thank you Kevin for the great review
