    The location was only a 5 minute walk from the town and there were plenty of places to eat close by as well as a bakery next door. The campsite was small but ‘cosy’ with a lovely countryside view at the back of the property. The facilities for cooking and laundry were very good. The swimming pool and hot tubs looked inviting.
