Thought the site was totally first class. Not cheap especially in July but probably worth it out of season.

The site is in two part for caravans. The upper field is nearly all super pitches, the lower field is more open and cheaper in price but still very nice. The shower blocks where out of this world. Changes were going on in the lower field (hard standings) whilst we were there. If you do use the lower field then the right hand side gets the sun the longest, not that that will matter in July. Our pitch was at the opposite side and we lost the sun very early because of the trees. Just watch the low wall on the way in.

There's a local pub just a few minutes walk.

This report is based on our trip in Oct 2007

Theres another really nice site right near it called Ross Park this has to be the best site I ever stayed on, I thought the aproach to Dornafield was a bit tight more or less (a single track/lane if I remember correctly) with a large outfit but it was a few years ago.

Yes the lane is a bit narrow but it's no very long. Hundreds of caravans use it every year so it can't be that bad.

Just watch the low wall on entering the site

They have an hours gap between leavers and arrivals to avoid units crossing over on the narrow lane down to the site. It is tight but as said 100's of vans have done it with no problems.

You will love the site and the area.

Just looked on google earth. The lane into the site looks to be about 150yds long.

What else I noticed was since I was last there it is now all hard standing.
