Liked: *#*#* ROOF TOP TENTS ARE ACCEPTED AT THIS SITE*#*#* (Apologies for the caps but Pitchup don't mention RTT or have it as a category and they should. Fellow RTTers you're welcome here). A warm welcome upon arrival with clear guidance to our pitch and a WIFI password, the pitch next to us was reserved for our friend who was joining us later that day which was fantastic, just as we had requested. The site is very well looked after with perfectly mowed lawns, very well maintained lakes that are full of fish and banks with a few picturesque swims (for the fishermen). The site facilities, while basic, are very well kept, clean and well stocked. Our party set out to do nothing more than relax, this is exactly what we got to do in a beautiful setting with friendly hosts.
Disliked: These aren't really dislikes, more things that could be developed in the future to make this site go from 100% to 110%. Only one toilet, No shower facilities, (definitely could fit these ideas in the room where the toilet is). Dooley the DJ in the distance ;)

Liked: Close to tunnel, it was fine for what we needed. Pitch is within view of the owners house but that didn’t bother us - it may some. There were bins and a toilet and sink. No shower or washing up area - but this wasn’t expected.

From the manager: Marking us down because you didn't read the site details correctly is un fair, we make it clear what is, and what is not available.
Wonderful site with wonderful hosts

From the manager: Thanks for doing a review but we are disappointed at your comments. We checked each day of your stay to make sure all was ok for you. It is clear when booking our site that we do not have showers, we do not take children, and marking low accommodation is strange as it was your tent.... I wish people would check what is or is not available when booking, our site clearly is not for everyone.

Liked: Alles! Hartelijke ontvangst door Margareth, alle faciliteiten werden goed uitgelegd, prachtige natuur, mooie vijver met steiger en wandelingetje, fijn kleinschalige camping, nette faciliteiten als kamperen bij de boer, en prachtige bossen eromheen om te wandelen met de honden. Keurige prijs vergeleken bij andere dergelijke campings die veel minder gemak gaven. Ik zou hem graag aan iedereen aanbevelen, maar dan hebben we het de volgende keer minder rustig ;-)
