Em va agradar Open site, beautiful lakes, easy booking and easy access to hook up.

No em va agradar The toilets/showers were not in a great condition, males were dirty but wife said the women’s were clean.

Very noisy and inconsiderate neighbours playing music shouting until nearly midnight.

Em va agradar The fishing area

No em va agradar The toilets was not clean, they stunk really badly and was dirty. Had breakfast in the cafe and was not advised was no mushrooms otherwise I would not of had the breakfast. The washing up area had all dead fly's and moths by the sinks. Could have done with a clean down.

Em va agradar Overall this is a lovely site, with lots to offer. It has a nice cafe where you can enjoy a cuppa while looking across the fishing lakes.
The touring pitch size is good, and fully serviced. Although the facilities are placed so far away from the pitch you have to come off the hardstanding to reach it.
Staff are lovely, friendly and prompt if there are any issues e.g we had someone fly a drone over our pitch a few times and once reported someone came across promptly and dealt with the situation.
This is also a great site if you're into fishing as they have lovely pools to fish in.
The campsite has a pizza van come on a Friday which we have enjoyed previously. Other additions would be great like crepes....
The campsite has an egg honesty box, but sadly there were no eggs on any occasion I looked, but that's not an issue although it would have been lovely to have fresh eggs. The hens have a lovely space and look well cared for.
I have said id come again, but that is because it is local to my family, but there needs to be improved shower/toilet and bin facilities.

No em va agradar Only issues were the state of the showerooms, they needed a good clean, and the mop and bucket provided never had clean water in, it looked very brown.
There was no toilet paper a few times, so I ended up taking my own roll over in case there weren't any.
There was a lot of tissue on the floor that had not been cleared away in days, and there was what looked like mud in the sink at times. I understand there are some clients that leave the place a mess, but the toilets should be checked more often at least daily. One customer told us they had been there 6 days and it did not look like it had been cleaned even once during that time, and said they would not be returning again. This is a shame as its a lovely site, and although the showers work lovely, it spoils it that it is not clean.
In the men's showers my partner found one shower was broken, and he had to screw it back together to get the temperature to work. I also feel the one of the womens showers needs looking at as it was cold, the other was fine.
We have taken photographs of the conditions, but i chose not to post the most disgusting ones.
There is an ongoing issue with the bins, as we stayed here twice this year and both times the bins were overflowing, although I understand it is a council issue, maybe they need more bins.

Em va agradar Lovely site. The cafe food was really nice & a great price. The toilets & showers were ok. The water was lovely and warm. The fishing lakes were well maintained.

No em va agradar Unable to fish on better lakes due to matches. Disappointing as this was why we booked.
Toilets left with no toilet roll for long periods of time.
Toilet blocked for almost 2 days.

Em va agradar I didn’t stay long enough to try any of the facilities.

No em va agradar Really disappointed with communications from this lot. Pitch I was put on was unsuitable so I asked for a different one, I heard nothing back, so after 4 days tried again and got told off for not chasing them up after they “forgot” to help me out. I spent the week a lot happier on an industrial estate.

Em va agradar Loved the site, pitches and setting. The site itself is beautiful, well kept and clean. Although it was quite busy it was quiet which was nice. The lakes are clean and plenty of choice for fishing.

No em va agradar The showers and wash up areas, they could do with hourly cleans. They can smell and in this heat, it wasnt great.
