The Beeches

Em va agradar Stayed here for the night with my daughter. Lots of play equipment for her to explore and entertain her. Dawn, Lee and Mick were super friendly chatting to us at length. Nothing to much trouble for them. Great value and my daughter already wants to know when we're returning. Thanks

No em va agradar Nothing really 👌

Del gerent: Anonymous, thank you so much for your review. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. It was a pleasure talking to you both. Children are at the heart of what the site is about and nothing gives us more pleasure in seeing and hearing children have fun. The memories you make will be priceless and we are happy you chose The Beeches to do this. We’d love to see you back soon.

Em va agradar Bikes for the children to ride on

No em va agradar Place is very run down. Big tents filled with rubbish. Spoken to someone else on site and said it was packed with things to do, but now the owner is poorly so unable to do as much (which we are sorry to hear) we stayed one night, noisy near the main road

Del gerent: Anonymous, thank you for taking the time to review our site.
We do disagree that our site is run down, you seem to overlooked the fact we are continually maintaining and updating everything on our site. This takes time and we try to avoid this when we have visitors.
Big tents full of rubbish, well we do have a marquee which has recently been cleared of owners belongings. Our wood store we have had destroyed by strong winds and this will be removed. Yes it is a poly tunnel but remains functional in protecting the wood we need to do projects. At the end of the day, I think we can safely say that The Beeches is not for you. It is a site we are continually working on and improving on. Most people see the good things we are doing and we will continue to do this.

Em va agradar Our pitch could not have been any closer to the disabled facilities as requested. The facilities were kept clean.

No em va agradar Greeted by a couple sat by the gate who didn’t introduce themselves! No evidence of any wardens all weekend, other than one trying to cut the grass (what grass as the ground was covered with bits of wood!!) The ground was uneven and very stony. The site felt very untidy and run down with a very tired looking play area.
No wifi
Access to the site was a bit hard to find and could be signed better and more clearly. The constantly closed gate felt unwelcoming.
Disliked the sharing of what were a small number of facilities with the number of people needing to use them. Only a small number of toilets etc. only one sink for washing up!! No facilities for washing laundry 🤷🏻‍♀️
We had our grandson staying with us (aged 7) and he was challenged (by who we thought was staff although you couldn’t tell) for playing with wood which was in the play area!
Not top of my list I’m afraid and we will not be returning.

Del gerent: Thank you for posting this review.
Okay where do I start. The couple you met were the wardens. How did you know where to pitch?Everyone is welcomed by them and you would have been no different.
The wood you so kindly mentioned is around kids play area equipment and keeps wood chip in around the said apparatus and is there as part of the safety overall. We take this very seriously.Moving this is why your beloved child was asked not to. We are not there to childmind. Incidentally, the children’s play equipment is within the wooded area of the site and children do tend to play with sticks and are freely there so that they can be allowed to do, in being children? No mention was made by your grandchild when they moved piles of small stones onto the pitch and politely asked not to do this as well as moving flag markers on the ground. This had to be put right after you left.
We spend a lot of time maintaining the site, everything has been repainted to look fresh, I fail to see how you feel the site is run down and tired. Many people compliment us on how well they think the site looks and we as a team work tirelessly to maintain this.
Sorry we do not have an onsite laundrette. There is no call for this and would bump up the price of the stay. Wi-Fi is something we choose not to have onsite not only due to the price but it encourages children to play outdoors and this has been specifically complimented.
We take the security of the site and those who choose to stay with us seriously hence why the metal gates. These serve a purpose as we have installed these after a very unfortunate incident in the past.
Again I am sorry you felt the ground was uneven, this is an ongoing struggle with local wildlife which digs this up. I do take onboard your point on the signage which we have increased this year but this is obviously not enough?
We consider our facilities to be more than adequate for what we offer.
I think we can agree that The Beeches is not for you. Maybe your expectations were too high. Lots of people find us ideal for their requirements which we strive to welcome back. In the words of our late monarch
“Perhaps we make too much of what is wrong and too little of what is right. The trouble with gloom is that it feeds upon itself and depression causes more depression”

Em va agradar Excellent site pitches was large. good play area. Toilets was clean. Dawn Lee and Mick was always on hand if needed. Bit of noise from main road but you get used to it

No em va agradar Nothing

Del gerent: Yvonne, many thanks for your review. We strive to improve the site and we all welcome your comments as you so obviously ‘get’ our ethos. You are right about the road noise, it would be lovely to mute this alas we cannot.

Em va agradar Hot showers, water easy to access. Great looking play area. Friendly owner with good communication.

Del gerent: Karl, many thanks for your review. It would be a pleasure to have you return.

Em va agradar Lee and Dawn who run the park are lovely friendly people who make you feel very welcome.
The site is basic but has everything you need. Hot and cold water, great spacious shower and a washing up station.
Great for kids, climbing frames, slides, tree swings and much more, including bikes to use whilst on site.
This is my second visit here and will definitely be back.

No em va agradar Nothing to dislike.

Del gerent: Nathan, many thanks for your review. You clearly acknowledge the thought and work that goes into running the site. It’s great for us to hear we’re doing things right. It would a pleasure to have you return again.

Em va agradar This one of my favourite sites.
The pitches are great, the loos are clean and the shower is constant and powerful. The management team is amazing and went above and beyond to help me out when I got into a pickle! Very friendly and very accommodating.
It's easy to find, within 15 minutes of Sleaford and there's a Co-op about 3 miles away.

Del gerent: Debs, many thanks for submitting your review. Thankfully we were able to help and do tend to rally round to find solutions to problems. It would be a pleasure to have yiu stay with us again

Em va agradar Really nice play area for the children to run around and play. Quite and peaceful stay. Really nice owner of the site.

No em va agradar We pitched on the back field, might have been just bad luck but ended up with ants everywhere. Including inside the tent !

El recomanaria als amics Hi tornaria a anar

Del gerent: Glyn, thank you for posting an honest review. We, as a team take great pride in the kids play areas. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee our ant friends won’t make an appearance though. It was just bad luck and it’s something most campsite management teams experience. Hopefully, it won’t stop you from returning as it would be a shame to let nature spoil it. We would welcome you back anyhow.

Em va agradar Nice countryside setting, lots of space for kids to play and play area for them to use. Really friendly and helpful owner. Road noise was present but not really an issue.

No em va agradar Toilet and shower basic and could have been a bit cleaner.

El recomanaria als amics Hi tornaria a anar

Del gerent: Emma, thank you for posting your unbiased review. We take onboard your comments on the cleanliness of the toilet block and showers. We will change so that these are inspected more often and cleaned more frequently.

Em va agradar Toilets were good. Shower was excellent

No em va agradar H owever the road from the road was really loud and there were many scruffy out buildings. Many long term caravans too a bit scruffy. Not for me

Del gerent: Anonymous, thank you for posting your review on The Beeches. I think you’ve hit the nail on the head in that this site isn’t for you. We fully understand that.
However, things we cannot control like the road noise. It is clearly documented about the road noise. Some people it bothers, some it doesn’t.
As for the buildings onsite, most of these have been recently repainted and we are in the process of replacing panels on our marquee. Owners of the long term caravans wash and maintain their own and we are never long in reminding them to do this. The buildings outside the campsite on the road in are nothing to do with the campsite so we have contacted the owners to get them to clean these up and tidy them so that it can be more aesthetically pleasing.
