Riddings Wood Holiday Park

Liked Mmmmmm not a lot tbh

Disliked A very awkward pitch to get on to for a £33.50 fully serviced .
An awkward angle to reverse onto when there’s tents pitched up directly opposite.
The angle and the camber was so “off” , along with the curb stone literally ripped the foot off the corner steady.
I wish to god I’d taken photos.
After contacting the manager I was told that nobody else has had problems. If you look on the main aerial view photo of the site, you can see the angle of the service pitches. Wish we’d not booked it or had a better response from the managers.
Thanks for that. Not the point of nobody else has ever said anything.
Not for us I’m afraid. Noisy and tight pitches. Ok if you’ve got a small set up of a tent.
Normally fully serviced pitches are in better, more secluded areas on sites. We were put on the first pitch by the gate, right next to the children’s play area and the main entrance.
Personally I’d steer clear.

Liked We stayed in a lodge with hot tub omg it was amazing there was 4 of us so was worried about space no need loads of space beautiful site so peaceful got a really good sleep. Bed was so comfy and cozy the place was spotless. We packed a few extra bits but didnt need them the lodge had everything you needed. Staff was so friendly all the time.

Disliked Absolutely nothing can't wait to come back

Liked I liked the addition of the bathroom and kitchenette.

On a previous similar holiday it was less equipped and this helped keep the costs down as it was easier to be self catering and there was no worry of the children having to travel across the field in the middle of the night for the toilet.

Disliked Although there is an out of hours number to call, if you want to go out and about for the day typical office hours finishing at 5 make it difficult to arrange things that may be needed to be re stocked.

Liked Good value prices. It wasn’t too busy (mon/tues nights in early August). But can imagine would be very tight on tent pitch spaces when busy

Disliked Sloping tent pitches but knew they were like this before we arrived to be honest
None of the hand driers or the hair drier worked in the ladies

Liked Really nice site and really helpful staff will definitely be back and had a great time.
Not a dislike but noticed the playground could do with tightening up as bolts were loose, and could do with things for the younger kids like a baby swing and slide. But overall, a great site.

Liked Lovely and clean site you can walk into the woods from the site, which is great when you have a dog like we did, or children
The Thack pub is lovely and it’s a short walk to it

Disliked Nothing really but it said to clean up after your dog, which we did but couldn’t find any dog bins.
Could do with some leaflets of the many walks there is.

Liked Friendly staff, nice setting.

Disliked Kids screaming at 1am people arguing, central toilet block closed had to use toilet block at the top of the site quite a walk when you’re disabled. Road surface was very pot holed. Not a lot for older kids to do.

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

We are sorry to see that you were disappointed with your stay and will not return in the future.

We are sorry to hear that you were disturbed till 1 am, we do have an out of hours number for guests to call we actively encourage its use as we do not tolerate noise after quiet time, it is pity you did not alert us as we could have taken action. We do tell guests who are disruptive to others to leave.

If we are told that a guest has a disability we can move them to a pitch nearer facilities.

The old toilet block is a shell it was damaged by guests beyond repair, we are looking to re build in the future.

Many thanks for your feedback and we wish you well in your future travels,
