Lovely new caravan with excellent balcony views. Large freeview telly and gorgeous furniture. Handily placed for the coast and country. Would stay again. A few dislikes :-Frugal amount of cutleryNo toaster! Used grill which was slow.Bouncy mattress but bed comfyNo Pyrex dishes for cooking (although not many do stock them)No clockStrip light needed over bedroom mirror.Small things I know but they do matter. Please don't let this detract you from booking. It really is a lovely site!

Excellent location with a lovely view across the river. Site is peaceful and well maintained as is the caravan, with the added advantage of having a friendly coffee shop on site, which is well stocked with lovely cakes and plenty of lunchtime snacks as well as breakfast items. There are pleasant walks to be had along the river or you can just sit and watch the walkers, runners, cyclists, paddle boarders or canoeists with a glass of wine or hot bevarage of your choice.Highly recommend. We did not want to leave.

We really enjoyed our week at The Drey. Lovely views of the river from our elevated position. The staff at the campsite were very helpful. The on site cafe provided a spectacular afternoon tea for us to take away and share with an old school friend who was visiting us.Our only suggestion for improvement would be some bedside lamps and something similar for the living area to soften the lighting when relaxing in the evenings.Lots to see and do in the surrounding area. Plenty of lovely walks. we were particularly impressed by the ample free parking wherever we went.
