July 5, 2022 at 7:40 amFine for an overnight stop – lovely grassed area around the back nearer to the river with water taps and plug points. Bathroom is very basic and inadequate when there are more than a few vans in. It is close to the highway which is very convenient but those with good hearing will hear the traffic.
