No em va agradar: Pitch under trees , no sun, when it rained sap dropped and stained caravan! Not enough toilet facilities, they were very clean though.Smell from waste areas was very strong at times . Won't stay again .

Del gerent: Thank you for your comments. We are pleased you found the facilities clean and would point out that as a tiny site we are significantly under the maximum number of pitches allowed for these facilities. It’s always disappointing for site owners when guests don’t tell us whilst they are staying of a problem and instead leave comments after they have left. The occasional smell turned out to be another guest tipping their chemical waste into the gray water point (hence why it was occasional). We have now moved the disposal points and placed even more clear signage to avoid this happening again. Finally some complaints are entirely beyond our control but we do apologise for the lack of sunshine during your break! Willowbeck

Em va agradar: View from caravan was lovely. Field for exercising dogs.

No em va agradar: Our stay at Willowbeck Farm was disappointing, we requested a gravel pitch but nothing on the website mentioned that it was right next to a very busy road that motor bikes used as a race track, not the site owners fault I know but prior warning would have been good. Our caravan was under a huge conifer tree and it was a battle trying to keep our caravan clean from all the dead pine needles surrounded the pitch, nothing was mentioned on the website that there is zero tv signal under the trees. The one toilet and shower was clean but I found the ladies shower was only lukewarm and the mens was either cold or scalding hot. The washing up area outside the toilet block was scruffy, the Elsan disposal point was the worst we have ever seen and the smell was awful. The site rents a pod which is only meters from the Elsan disposal, not sure I would want to eat outside next to the smell.

Del gerent: Thank you for your comments: It’s always disappointing when guests choose not to raise issues whilst on site. Had you done so, we would have respectfully pointed out that on the Pitchup listing it is clearly stated that this pitch was near the road (and of course is offered at a lower price because of this). Pitchup also very helpfully have pictures of the pitches so you would have seen before booking our site is surrounded by some wonderful trees that attract wildlife. Pitchup also make it very clear on their site description that the tv signal is not good due to our rural location but the 4G mobile data signal is great. The elsan smell turned out to be another guest tipping into the gray waste and hence it was occasional as another guest confirmed. We have since moved these points to avoid this happening again with larger signage! But again, had we been made aware we could have dealt with this much earlier. We are unsure why you felt the need to mention the pod. Willowbeck

Em va agradar: Pod- cleanliness.
Quiet and small site.
Adult only.
Location - great for hiking.
Toilet/ shower facilities were clean.
Parking next to the Pod.
The Plough Inn - 5 min walk from site and it has a welcoming atmosphere and lovely food.

No em va agradar: Visited due to other positive reviews. Was slightly disappointed due to the location of the Pod on the site. It is next to the toilet block, not secluded / private.
There was a very unpleasant smell outside the Pod - possibly from the septic tank.
Pod needs better lighting- only has LED strip lights inside- take a torch!

Em va agradar: Nice showers, well kept, no issues at all. Very pleasant small site. Would and probably will visit again. The pub round the corner serves an incredible meal!

No em va agradar: Road noise. Nothing that can be done about that mind. We just had a pitch right next to the road.
