Camping pod
Liked: Close to facilities. Great having electricity and heating in camping pods.
Disliked: Seagulls kept landing on our pod roof waking us up at dawn. The timings of the swimming pool were very limited. We were out during the day so had left before the swimming pool had opened and not returned before it had closed. We would have like the option to book online and have an early morning or evening slot.

Camping pod
Liked: parking is next to the cabins, the pod was comfortable and spacious.
Disliked: The bathrooms were disgusting, it seems that the one who cleans does not do it well and does not do it every day, when they should be kept clean because it is easy to pick up bacteria with so much dirt, the dishwasher area was disgusting full of cobwebs and totally dirty for sure You had months without cleaning that area. The pod was dirty full of spider mites and dust, the pool you have to booking with one day previous to enter and it's only 45 minutes, I have no problem with them keeping track,but they sell you the pool as an area for enjoyment but It's really not for all day or any time it's just limited. I don’t know I think I pay a lot of money for sleep in dirty place.

Camping pod
Liked: Fantastic! We stayed in a camping pod. It was clean with a nice big play patch of grass and paths for the kids to ride their bikes. Nice big bar area overlooking the kids park with zipline, swings and slides. Swimming pool was clean, good size and a really good slide. All the staff I spoke to were really friendly and helpful. We arrived early and they let us check in 3 hours early. All for a really good price, even during the Easter weekend. No complaints, I will certainly go back.
Disliked: Path to bathroom was a little bit muddy, could do with wood chips or something.

Camping pod
Liked: Pod itself was great, toilet was fairly clean, swimming pool clean and warm
Disliked: Path to WC was Pitch black (no lights on the path leading to the toilets), very slippery due to mud on the way to toilet..I would recommend them to pave the path to toilet and pod area.. Washing area, absolutely filthy, full of spiders, mosquito and bugs.. I don't think I can upload a video here but omg I haven't witnessed this anywhere yet). I dont think it would take that much time to regular cleaning and lick of paint, perhaps put a door. Entertainment and arcade(no change machine working and bar refused to give changes to play pool or arcade games) ..you can imagine children faces and emotion at that point. Maybe install a drinking water supply tap at the middle of pod area No food served after 8pm

Camping pod
Liked: The pods was clean and comfortable the site it's self was clean too. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Disliked: Some of the pathways to toilet facilities was very muddy so maybe wood chip them as least. Also maybe provide an outdoor mat for the pods to help not take mud in to them. Especially on wet days

Liked: With the weather turning colder the Pod we stayed in was cosy and warm. The bathroom facilities were kept clean at all times and the clubhouse had a warm and friendly atmospher. I would highly recommend Birchington Vale to friends and family to enjoy a break at this well run and well maintained camp.

Liked: Lovely park, nice, fresh, well kept, friendly staff, clean and everyone helpful. Staff went above and beyond with our baby twins and entertainment in the evening kept them happy and falling asleep early!
Disliked: We thought there would be wash up facilities as we were staying in the camping pods, however there were none. All food and drinks was supposed to be had in the restaurant it seemed. Also you had to pay for internet.
