Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (premium)
Liked Beautiful location. The site was very well kept, clean and the toilet / washroom facilities were excellent.
Disliked Very minor issue was that the shower tap didn't hold for very long (circa 3-4 seconds) so I had to either lean against the button or repeatedly press it whilst trying to wash the shampoo out of my hair.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. We're so pleased you enjoyed the beautiful location and found the site, including our toilet and washroom facilities, to be clean and well maintained.
We also appreciate your feedback about the shower. The push-button showers are designed to help conserve water, but we understand that the timing can sometimes be a little inconvenient, especially when washing your hair. We'll take your comments on board as we continue to look for ways to improve our guests' experience.
We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Very nice location and site.…
Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (premium)
Liked Very nice location and site.
Disliked Water leakage on several paths causing puddles. Showers did not have anywhere to put toiletries or sit / place items / bag etc. ladies toilets clean but with a damp unpleasant odour. Jogging / walking track around the site created noise and disturbance in morning from many joggers etc,talking loudly.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed our location and the park itself.
We're sorry that some aspects of your stay didn't meet your expectations. Your comments regarding the puddles on the paths, the shower facilities, and the odour in the ladies' toilets have been noted and shared with our team so we can investigate and make improvements where possible.
Regarding the morning noise from joggers, we'd like to mention that the surrounding parkland and walking/running routes are managed by the local council. They regularly host community events, including organised park runs, which take place independently of our site and are unfortunately beyond our control. We appreciate that this may have impacted your stay and thank you for your understanding.
We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a more enjoyable visit in the future.
