Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked: Toilet/shower facilities were very clean and clean daily. Walking distance to the big sheep which was enjoyable. High ropes activity was good and my daughter enjoyed it but they said that I had to go on with her so had to pay extra to go on myself even though when we did it there were other small children on their own.
Disliked: Poor communication. When we booked through Pitchup we were told pitch time of 12pm. Then the email that came through from Adventure camping stated 1pm which was not an issue. Nearer the time of booking we received another email with details and stating the pitch time of 3pm! All a little confusing so emailed Adventure camping and they stated we could pitchup at 12pm and they would investigate with pitchup. Shop opening times were stated on a leaflet when we arrived for 10am-4pm. When we went there at 10am there was a sign outside stating opening times of 11am-2.30pm and 4.30pm-6pm. One of the days we went there at 5pm to find it closed. We asked at reception and they stated that it was closed this afternoon! When we find the shop open, we were a little disappointed by it. Seemed to be a gift shop which sold crisps, drinks and sweets. Was expecting more convenience items and thought they would have done well to cater for campers by selling some fresh produce. We ran out of washing up liquid and were hoping to pick some up but they didn't sell it unfortunately and were unable to get to another shop to purchase so had to borrow from another camper. Communication with the activities was a little poor. We booked our activity 2 days in advance at reception. Come the day we assumed that we would meet at the activity so made our way to the high ropes. The receptionist came out to advise us that we needed to meet at the cafe so we had to go back to the cafe to wait. We met the instructors and were escorted back to the high ropes. We enjoyed the high ropes, although the instructors did not appear very engaged. We started on the low ropes to see how my daughter got on. They asked if she wanted to do them again but she wanted to go on the high course so we went up to the higher ones and did these twice. She then wanted to go back to the low ropes but when I asked about this the instructor told me we could'nt as there were only 2 of them doing it today. This was despite having half an hour of time left for the activity and when we booked we were told that we would have 2 hours doing whichever ones we wanted to.

Liked: The activities - cleanliness - Nice site with great activities which I should add that I don't think the website does justice to, particularly the assult course. It was fantastic much bigger than it looked on the website and more difficult than it looked on the website. We had an electric grass pitch. The space was huge, the ground was difficult to get pegs in places due to the rocks/stones buy wasn't overly problematic The showers were always clean ( great work to the housekeeping team ) the showers were powerful enough and always hot sometimes a little too much for my son but fine for me the toilets again mainly always clean both the facilities are up a little hill roughly 2 minutes walk from our pitch number 3 - I think doors even ¾ height doors to the toilets or showers would have been far better. Overall a very good site. Quite commercial as they cater for schools etc and I'd say this was more of an activity centre with camping on the side
Disliked: The shower blocks toilet blocks not having any kind of door/barrier as you go in

Liked: calmly
Disliked: There is no hot water in the sink. The hot water in the showers is not stable. There is a general light switch at the entrance. I was in the shower and someone turned off the light.
