The breakfast tent from 7am to 11am is spot on ..something for everyone and all those girls cooking are always smiling.. Everytime i went to the showers the lady was cleaning them.. a very friendly team.

Facilities were just a football clubs showers and toilets. I will say the outside toilets were kept clean but the shower area was not very good. It was definitely not what I expected, I knew it was on a football pitch but thought the Facilities would be alot better. The food tent was the old "cash only" game again which was very expensive. The TT week they must be making a good packet through these bell tents I just wish they wasn't so greedy and taking advantage of it.

We arrived at 7am from Ireland with no worries, camped for the first week of the TT. Breakfast, tea and coffee, beers and pies all on site. A fair price with good soil for pegging down tents. Plenty of showers, toilets, and electric sockets for charging stuff. Indoor space to relax if it's cold or wet. Β£8 for a Taxi from the prom. Plenty of safe hard ground parking for bikes. But best of all an amazing woodland walk that runs the length of the site. Fairy Glen's, waterfalls, fab views and to top it all off... The staff were fantastic, especially Paul he seemed to be there 24/7 with advice and sarcasm in perfect ballance πŸ˜‚ thank you all.
