Liked: Beautiful site that is really well kept and not over crowded. The kids loves the horses and chickens and the spacious plot so they had freedom to run and play without getting anywhere near the other campers.

Liked: - Relatively small campsite which was quiet for the time of year we visited (mid September). - Camp site owners were friendly and met us on arrival. - Walks nearby which eventually take you into Malpas
Disliked: - Lots of recycling facilities but was nothing for general waste. Was asked to take it home with us. - Only one shower which may be an issue if the camp site was busy. Needed to wear flip flops (or some kind of foot wear to shower in) as the toilet/shower was integrated. This meant muddy footwear would be in the same area. - Difficult to connect to the internet (which isnt essential at camping)

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to send your review. All rubbish can be re cycled. There are bins for food waste.....cardboard and all paper and bins for all other packaging..tins. .glass foil and all plastics. The only other waste is sanitary and nappies etc in the bins which are to be found in the toilets. I put this waste in my own black bin on a daily basis. Before the Council changed their re cycling bins, I had black bins and my own re cycling bins. I then had to sift all the rubbish into the tubs which the council provided.this was a disgusting job because despite numerous instructions, campers just mixed all their rubbish . When I say please take all non recyclable rubbish home, I am referring to unwanted camping equipment which despite numerous polite requests posted around the camp site, campers continue to dump their unwanted equipment which means a twelve mile round trip for me to the dump. The weekend you stayed, I only had one other couple and I found a blue canvas chair left by the bins. With regard to the shower, it is a wet room situated directly off the field so there is bound to be some grass cuttings and some mud occasionally. The shower floor has not been a success and will be replaced with rubber flooring for next season.

Liked: Quiet site, great location, good kitchen facilities, microwave, washing machine, kettle, fridge freezer. Washing up liquid and tea towels available. Pleasant and helpful host. Good value for money
Disliked: Shower room floor poor quality, difficult to squeegee and no shower curtain. Lack of hanging hooks in shower area. Shower area toilet had no hot water available for hand washing, no toilet paper provided.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. Because the shower is a wet room a curtain isn't necessary and would be unhygienic. There is a plastic chair in the shower and a towel ring plus long plastic handles situated all round the room . There will be a new floor installed for next season. I.dont provide toilet paper because campers kept taking them and one weekend I put in around thirty toilet rolls! I'm afraid it wasn't logistically possible to have hot and cold water in the basin where shower is but there is hot water in the toilet behind the kitchen .
