Liked: Quiet location.
Disliked: Road leading up to the site was a surprise, very tight and steep and we arrived in the dark. Also found a piece of glass in my pizza. I should have mentioned something at the time but as a one off it was ok, just concerned for other pizza purchasers.

From the manager: Thanks for your feedback. I would like to assure you that we have taken this very seriously and want to ensure the safety and comfort of all our guests. We do not use or store any glass near our food preparation areas and strive to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and safety in our kitchen. I immediately on reading this have carried out an investigation and have reviewed all control measures within the kitchen ensuring they are robust. We have never encountered a situation like this before and cannot explain how it could have happened . I have also contacted our supplier and informed them. Thank you for letting us know - we are sorry for any inconvenience. The road to the site is being updated over the winter.
As stated in write up , nice small campsite, would go again

Liked: Clean ,toilet shower block clean and new ,all amenities,kept up together ,
Disliked: Only gripe shop opening hours are not kept too,so don’t bank on it for anything 👍🏻and could not buy Wi-Fi code as the guy couldn’t find them ,but you can get a signal so wasn’t end of world🤗

From the manager: Hi Mark, thank you for your feedback, it has been most helpful. It has made me realise that although we advertise reduced low season opening hours on the door, our check in leaflet does not show the new times. We will ensure we update the information on the leaflets to reflect the low season times as I can appreciate this is irritating - thanks for letting me know. The guy who couldn't find the wi-fi codes is my husband - you would think he would know where they are - I will tell him for the one millionth time in the hope it will finally sink in!
Great site with immaculate facilities and welcoming staff.

Liked: Loved the site. Very peaceful with a relaxed atmosphere. Warm welcome when we arrived We had pre ordered some pizzas which were brought to the van while we were setting up which was such a welcoming touch, especially after a long drive. The facilities were immaculate. Loved that we could cook on the fire outside We had lots of fabulous walks in the area. The local town was great. Plenty of shops and a few pubs and cafes.
Disliked: The steep rough road up to the site was a bit hairy ! The showers could do with a shelf and the washing up area either more bowls or plugs in the sink so you don’t have to use too much water
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks for the feedback! The track will be done before next year - finally! Having got your feedback I have checked the bowls in the sinks and see that all but one have "disappeared" - I will replace them - thanks for the heads-up - I had not noticed. I am pleased that you had a great stay and hope to welcome you back!
