Bed,pillows,quilt super comfty
Quiet,peaceful site
Hot tub spot on👌
Got free biscuits,tea,coffee,sugar milk
Great airfryer,kettle,microwave
Shower really good and hot🥵

Disliked Didnt get no robes or slippers,just like everyone else hasnt (seems to be a problem)
Floor in the bathroom near the toilet has caved in
No tea towel to dry pots so we had to use a hand towel🤦🏽‍♀️
Window above the bed broken n been taped down by masking tape,got woken up at 6am by the light,maybe a roller blind is needed across it.
Noisey neighbours screaming,shouting,loud music til 2am spoilt it for us.
Even someone from the camping went round banging on their door
Check out too early 10am,so we had to pay £20 to stay til 12.or £45 til 5pm.

Liked We were first time campers and the staff made us feel so welcomed and gave us great advice for our camping journey. Perfect site for family’s. Showering and toilet facilities were very well kept. Will definitely be returning

Liked Food vans come on site
Good pitch size apart from parking quite snug due to tents literally over the small gravel road. Small shop good although waiting a while if lots people checking in.

Disliked No sign posts near the park
Stopped there 4 days no soap in ladies toliets for 3 of them days.
Toilets generally clean toilet rolls hit and miss in some toilets.
On arrival i just wanted to check my booking was correct as i hadnt received my confirmation on a mix up on rebooking found the lady quite sharp, defensive and rude. Although the communications on email was really good. The lady had sent email but it because it was through this site i didnt get it.

Liked A lovely setting and the location is great, lots of walks and pubs within walking distance.

The play park was good and well used.

The pizza van.

Disliked Only 1 toilet and shower block at the top pf the hill for the whole site. It wasn’t cleaned often enough with a bucket of filthy water to wipe the floor down.
The female owner was quite abrupt and rude to some of the guests.
All the pitches are on a slope.
No grey waste disposal and a sign telling you to pour it in the hedges.
The drainage smell was awful and woke us up.
I don’t think we would choose to stay here again as there are so many nicer options available locally.

Liked Very picturesque and friendly site

Disliked No hand soap in any toilets all weekend.
No toilet rolls in the ladies toilets all weekend
Loud group of young men and woman drinking talking and laughing kept all awake from 2am until 2.45am with no intervention from staff.

Liked The location is close to lots of fun things to do.
Toilet and shower facilities are clean.
Although we didn’t use it, you can pre order food for breakfast and they have little pop up vans coming to serve different meals on an evening

Disliked This was our first time camping, and unfortunately the pitch we were given was very sloped. Everything kept sliding, and we couldn’t get our table level enough to comfortably keep drinks on it.
There was a constant background noise during our stay, almost like a toilet continually filling up. We understand this wasn’t anything to do with the campsite itself, but it was still annoying, particularly at night. You can only hear it from the bottom field.
We were told on arrival that bikes weren’t allowed because children had previously been racing around the uneven gravel paths and there had been concerns about accidents. We understand the reason for the rule on the upper part of the site where the roads are etc, but we were staying on the bottom field and felt this should have been made clear before booking. Had we known beforehand, we probably wouldn’t have stayed.
We felt the focus on bikes was a little misplaced when some cars weren’t sticking to the 5 mph speed limit. In our opinion, cars travelling too quickly were a much bigger safety concern.
There is only one water collection point for the whole site, which felt inconvenient especially when it’s up the hill.
There is also only one toilet and shower block for men (4 showers in each) and one toilet and shower block for women (4 showers in each) for the entire campsite, which seemed inadequate when the site was busy and was not large enough to shower and get dried in.
pitches were small, too small to be comfortable with a tent and a car.

Liked Kids loved the park

Disliked Most pitches are on a hill and it’s not the cleanest site. The showers really needed to be cleaned more. The female owner was extremely rude (other campers had also mentioned she had been abrupt with them too) which really lets the site down.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us, we welcome all feedback.

We are sorry to see your stay was disappointing and you will not return in the future.

We are sorry if you found the staff member abrupt this was not there intention and she does apologise if that how she came across.

We wish you well in your future travels.

Liked How quiet the site was and how places to walk the dogs around the area. Lovely people that manage the site though.

Disliked How steep the pitches are and the drop from the grass to the pitch. Made getting the caravan on the pitch difficult. If you don’t have motor movers u will definitely struggle if someone is on the pitch in front with a tent.
