Questions about your stay(7)

Answers to commonly asked questions about staying with us.

The pitch size measures 30’ by 35’ / 9 x 10.6m approx.
Pitches must not contain more than one caravan or motorhome. You may pitch several tents/awnings but must have room to park your car on your designated pitch.
Clearly marked pitches, loos, showers, optional electrical hook-ups. These are limited and can be selected under 'Pitch type'. If there is no option listed then we have sold out. Water points, refuse disposal areas, caravan loo chemical disposal points, a shop for all basic essentials, first aid tent, a beer tent and food concessions.
The hook-up is a standard Caravan 16 amp C form socket, rated at 5 amps only. You can run 1250 watts on this hook up. If you add more to the load then you will trip out your direct neighbours as 2 pitches share a 10 amp breaker in the fuse box.

Please DO NOT run standard household kettles or toasters (which typically run at 2500/3000 watts each) as this will trip the supply. Please bring a long lead or two, so you can connect to the box.

We will have some spares available to borrow for a returnable deposit if you forget.
Yes, well-behaved dogs are welcome. We ask that all those bringing a dog to please make sure it is under control at all times and is cleaned up after!
