Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Brilliant space, very friendly owners. Dog friendly! Good for short dog walk. Worth its price. If you like fishing, ideal spot.

Disliked: Maybe only criticism: toilet cubicles rather small and very low toilet

Liked: Plenty of space. Quiet during the day. Friendly staff. Clean same-sex toilets.

Disliked: Site was hard to find; we had to phone for directions. Would suggest adding more directions on pitchup and/or adding to Google maps. There was some noise at night from a nearby factory which kept us awake. No bins. A bin for dog waste would be useful for this dog-friendly site. Only reason we don’t plan to return is due to the unpleasant smell that came and went a few times throughout our stay (we live in the countryside and don’t think it was manure) - perhaps a nearby septic tank or drainage issue? Otherwise would have been a 5 star from us.

Liked: Great location, spacious pitches, friendly and very welcoming, well looked after, simple but very clean facilities, close to an excellent pub (Brownlow Arms). Pretty much perfect...

Disliked: Only dislike, awful smell when the wind is in the wrong direction from a chicken processing plant. Can't blame the site but if I was either a business or resident around there I'd be complaining like mad to the Environments Agency. Only downside to the site.

Liked: Very quiet and well maintained area. Nice fishing lake with prepared pegs. No snags so comfort fishing. Pub within walking distance with food. Lots of place for walking and cycling.

Disliked: Just one toilet for men and women though there was little people so no problem at all. My wife tried showers and were ok. Overall basic amenities. Nice caretaker of the camping and lake.

Liked: Love this site. The staff are amazing and welcoming, this was my second visit and it felt I was visiting and old friend! On this trip we had a dabble in the fishing ponds, this made the trip even better. Was lovely to sit by the ponds and catch a few fish. The carp where teasing and showing themselves but no luck this time :(

Disliked: The only thing I disliked was having to come home

Liked: We were dubious about going as the weather was hit and miss and a possibility of becoming bogged down in our mo ho but Mark the very friendly site warden reassured us that the ground was hard and not to worry. I’m glad we listened, what a lovely little site. There are plenty of fishing pegs which are well maintained (as is the rest of the site) Toilets and showers are adequate, don’t expect much but they are clean. There is a Fresh water tap and a place to empty waste with its own tap for rinsing. A small peaceful site which will now become one of our regulars.

Disliked: There wasn’t anything we disliked but if I was really picky I’d say the only thing that I didn’t like was the fact that there wasn’t any bins, but it wasn’t a problem to take it home with us. Although this could be a problem if we stayed a week. Other possible problems (in wet weather especially) are the narrow roads in that had no passing places which resulted in going onto a grass verge occasionally.
