Liked: Nice peaceful site, close to many visiting places, clean toilets and showers.
Disliked: Site needed some tlc, showers Luke warm, so only used once.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hi I am sorry that we did not meet your expectations but we do try hard to make everyones stay as happy as possible. Sorry that the shower was luke warm and obviously you like a very hot shower. Under government guidelines we need to regulate the water temperature to around 38 degrees, Having tested the water temp at the beginning of the season it was set at 42 degrees as we know in the colder periods people like it a bit hotter. But then we can't please everyone. We do not advertise Wifi so no rating should be given. How can we improve on customer service, we meet you at reception, show you to your pitch explain things and have a smile.
Excellent site would highly recommend

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked: Lovely place to stay. Especially loved the secured dog field where we could walk the dog. Where we able to take our dog (who is a husky) in there and take off her lead and let her run. If your in field you can see if someone is approaching so can pop lead back on if need be. The family runing this campsite were so helpful especially there daughter. The toilet block laundry room where there’s also a place to wash dishes. All areas were spotless. Also we loved the way you could pay a bit extra for late departure. So we could leave up until 17.00pm instead of 11am so no rush to leave campsite. A couple on the site used campsite as a base and they were doing all different walks cycling etc all with using the campsite as a base. We didn’t but we definitely going to return and take camper out for day to return in night. We just enjoyed the lovely relaxed feeling of campsite. You can also have BBQ as long as you use the rack to put bbq on them. There is also to small ponds to fish in not used by us but will definitely use when we return. We stayed on pitches which gravel and grass for awning which we Didn’t use ours on this occasion as weather was so nice and we put dog out there on lead and we sat out and enjoyed the weather. Xx
Disliked: The only small negative thing I would say was my nieces and nephew came to visit us. They loved running on the field I believe will be tent field. But I think side could do with a small park area.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked: Ease of setting up, pitch was drive in/drive out. Very peaceful. Beautiful setting. Clean facilities. Local information very useful.
Disliked: Only one dog field open. Second one closed due to flooding and never found the dog friendly lake only the fishing lakes so our dog couldn't have a swim. Difficulty contacting site staff on arrival, have to phone but no answer. No hot water in site showers or washing-up room. Electricity ran out at pitch overnight which meant woke up cold, without heating, hot water and fridge/freezer defrosted, had to wait for site staff to come and top it up. Bit of a building site, farmhouse being renovated which in itself wasn't noisy or and issue but the digger near the pitches starting at 07.30 one morning was more annoying.

Liked: nice big grounds, first time taking my dog on holiday, two good large enclosed dog excersise walks, two nice fishing ponds, with lots of fish, good if you had kids wanting to get into course fishing, good facilities, nice and level pitch( ours was gravel) nice and calm and peacefull site,
Disliked: no wifi at the moment,but this was not a problem for me.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for the review, Wifi is an issue for us as it will cost £4000 to have set up and an annual charge of £600 and for such a small site we can not justify charging customers around £10 per day to use it. So sadly we will not be adding it. But who wants wifi when you are holiday anyway. Steve
Site is okay for a 1 night stop over otherwise wouldn’t recommend.

Liked: Lovely quiet camp site with a great shower/toilet block which was spotlessly clean and powerful showers. Two good sized fenced dog exercise areas and nice lakes and walks.
Disliked: Washing up room never seemed to have warm water at any time of day which was a shame. Worth noting that you need to turn the “switch” for hookup to work. Only discovered this on the last night and had assumed our can electric hookup had failed as never had to do this on other sites?
