Madoc Lake non-electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: Superb dry pitches by a lake. The sheltered bar area was a god send in October and the staff were so welcoming we stayed much longer than we had planned. Big shout out to the guy who made us 2 large pizza's and chips late on, they were well beyond our expectations. Enjoyed walking our dog around the lakes and a cold night by the lake watching the stars and keeping a large waterside fire going.
Disliked: no dislikes from us at all.

Madoc Lake fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (waterside)
Liked: It was lovely view of the lake, really gorgeous setting and dead quiet. Lovely fishing area.
Disliked: It was shame that through the week there is no cafe or bar, open only on weekends. It doesn’t mention that on pitchup for the winter break (All it says is it’s open from January to December). Only found out when we got there otherwise I wouldn’t have booked it through the week. The bins are a bit far away from the pitches, maybe could do with a few round the site. The toilet block is clean but needs work to it. It is a bit unfinished on the inside. If it was busy on that pitch itself you would struggle with the toilets because there is only 2 toilets and 1 shower for both men’s and women’s.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We are please that you enjoyed our site. We have asked Pitch Up to change it to say that the cafe/bar is only open at weekends as we are unable to change it ourselves. It does state it on our website and facebook page. There are two showers and two toilets by the lake, there is another toilet/shower block near the entrance. We do not have bins further up the site as there are some guests that do not recycle, it makes it easier for recycling to have them by the cabin Thank you :-)
shame showers were poor. Staff this time couldn’t be bothered

Fishing Canal electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: Peace and quiet
Disliked: The shower block as very cold and not very clean
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review. We do clean the shower block regularly and hope that guests leave it as they would like to find it unfortunately this is not the case. This time of year we are in winter hours therefore we are only open Friday 4-8 Saturday 9-8 and Sunday 9-2, during the weekdays we do run on limited staff, so if you found that less staff meant we did not seem to care then we apologise. We now operate winter hours so the site will be a lot quieter.
Everything was superb and excellent

Liked: Quiet, nice lakes,
Disliked: Not much variety in the bar.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review, though we are a bit confused as to the not much variety in the bar, it is a site bar not a nightclub bar but has a good selection of spirits, wines, beers and 4 draught pumps plus non alcoholic choices as well as soft drinks snacks crisps.
