Del gerent: Hi
Thank you for your review
Unfortunately we did have a family emergency on the date you booked so we had to leave the office suddenly (we are a family run business). We sincerely apologise for this
Kind regards

Em va agradar: We have an 11 and 2 year old and there were things to do with both of them.

Our older child was always busy and our youngest enjoyed the cars and bikes available all the time.

The campsite wasn’t too big but big enough to run around and the other campers were really nice.

No em va agradar: I didn’t dislike anything really.

There was work being done while we were there which is good, this campsite has the potential to be really good and hopefully once the works are done on the facilities then it will be fantastic.

Em va agradar: Liked the setting with the trees and river

No em va agradar: Not sure if there is a financial reason but everything seemed a little uncared for and in need of some money, the ladies facilities in particular were shocking, one working shower with a see through cheap shower curtain, we were offered the use of the shower in the holiday flat but this was nothing but a cold trickle, staff were not on hand to deal with any issues, the electric hook up were extension leads which seemed to go in every which way, including under the water, and across roadways, the campsite appeared over sold and although we booked in advance, we didn't have a pitch allocated to us and the only place available was amongst brambles and nettles. There is a no loud music notice around the site, we had to put up with an evening of ridiculous loud music, which could be clearly heard across the campsite, once I managed to contact a member of staff by telephone, they did wander across and ask for it to be turned down, but it was turned back up within 5 mins and was never challenged again, although they would have heard it ! They was a lot of rubbish piled up and broken items just stored around the site, as I previously said it all just seemed a little uncared for, shame really I was looking forward to spending my birthday here, this is a wedding venue, I definitely would not like my wedding here !

Del gerent: Thanks for your review.
We cannot make repairs during the summer months - we do this over the winter. We care about our site an awful lot and are very upset when things get ruined that we have paid money for, put time and effort in and want others to enjoy but some people don't.
Staff are always on hand to deal with problems or queries - as stated when you check in if you cannot see one of us for any reason, as we are a small family business and are very busy then to ring the assistance bell in reception and somebody will attend to you.

Em va agradar: Loved the campsite. it was like going back in time for us as it was close to wild camping where you could pitch where you wanted. It was tents only which was just perfect because now days campsites are overrun by caravans which take away the camping experience. Our daughter absolutely loved the river along with the rope swings and zip wire over the river. she made so many friends whilst in site which is what we was hoping for with this site. It's absolutely perfect for kids

No em va agradar: The toilets and there only being one shower which was freezing cold really let the site down but despite that we will be back!

We are currently installing another shower in the ladies and the mens shower is hopefully being installed over the winter.
Please let us know if the water is cold during your stay so we can attend to the problem
Kind regards

Em va agradar: The location was incredible. The stream through the site was perfect, and children from all over the camp site played for hours. It was safe and clean.
The cave bar was a great addition, and food was available

No em va agradar: The facilities were very basic. The allies toilets were being repaired and whilst alternatives were given. These were also in high demand.
Female shower had no door but a see through curtain.
Washing area had no bin and one sink for a busy campsite.
Bins area was some bags which were overflowing.

Del gerent: Thanks for your review.
As you stated the ladies toilets were being repaired and we didn't have the chance to install the door beforehand.
Washing area has signs in there stating you need to take your rubbish back to your pitch as when we did have a bin in there everyone used it as a dumping area for their rubbish.
Bags were overflowing because we were waiting for the skip company to come and remove the skip.

Em va agradar: Site is idyllic, lovely stream running through which the kids loved playing in with zip wire and rope swing across. Lots of other play equipment for kids to enjoy as well.
Fire pits to hire made for cosy evenings and toasted marshmallows.

No em va agradar: Not enough facilities for the size of the site, only 2 toilets and 1 shower in females. When I did brave the shower it was freezing cold.
No marked pitches so felt a bit haphazard with tents squeezed close together.
Rubbish piled up in corner, no obvious recycling even though it was stated that there was some. Either bigger/more bins or more frequent collection needed.

Em va agradar: River on site

No em va agradar: There is not always warm water, there are no trash bins on site, the tents pitch are uneven, the grass is not cut, the toilets are bloked
