Hi Maggie

Ive not stayed on a gravel pitch but if its pea gravel you should be fine with just your footprint for protection. It shouldnt do any damage and actually feels quite good under foot as it moves a little.

Hi Maggie.

Sandy Balls is fab you will love it. We just had the footprint under the tent and this wasnt damaged at all. We had the carpet down but i would put an extra blanket on top of this. We didnt, it was ok but you got the odd bobbly bit. The astro stuff sounds a very good idea, we would have hired this if we'd have known about it.

Rock pegs are a must, normal ones wont go in.

Out of the main entrance and 10min up the road the lovely Fighting Cocks pub awaits.

Have a great time. Jill

I've stayed at Sandy Balls and i must say, the hard standing was horrible.  We had a footprint, then the tent, then 2 carpets, yes TWO!  And it felt horrible,  We ended up wearing our crocks inside and we never sat on the floor to play games as we usually do.

We had rock pegs with us as we were pre-warned the ground is hard, even in the surrounding grassy bits.  It is great though, you have your own EHU, TV aeriel socket, fresh water tap and drain which we liked.  Make sure you take a walk down to the river, we saw deer on our walk amonst other 4 legged furry freinds!

Just make sure you take plenty of floor coverings!
