Electric grass pitch
Liked: Was given a great pitch on the quieter side, asked to be near toilets and was put very close to a block. Close to town, easy walk. Nice to be close to the river, kids enjoyed it. Lots of space to play around. Toilet block was nice and big and clean. Kids enjoyed using the milkshake machine 😋 great flavours and good price.
Disliked: Taps in toilet block only had cold water and the lights didn't work properly as something was tripping the electric box

Liked: Spacious pitches. Easy walk into Shrewsbury town centre.
Disliked: Facilities definitely need updating. Even the newer toilet/shower block isn’t really that great. Unfortunately we appear to have booked the wrong weekend as there was a very unruly family staying when we arrived who thankfully left the following morning only to be replaced by a wedding party and a scout camp! The very loud music from the wedding lasted until midnight and we were rudely woken at 6am by very noisy children from the scout tents.

Great site conveniently located close to the town. A number of pubs a short walk away.
Small shower trailer was perfectly adequate for number of people staying on site. Plenty of other toilets and a number of elsan points conveniently located. A bonus was the free WiFi.

Liked: Great site, lovely friendly staff. Nothing is too much trouble! Great bathrooms - can't fault it.
Disliked: The only problem that we had is that we did not receive a welcome email, even after emailing the site a few days before enquiring where it was (had no response). We have stayed a couple of years ago and we knew this was the procedure so we didn't have the codes to access the site late at night. We also noticed the site had WiFi but because of no welcome email we did not have the password. It's a minor issue I know, but we found it a bit strange. Luckily Mick the warden gave us the codes for the gates and he did ask us if we had received the welcome email.
There was also a large family on the site who took over the laundry room for the duration of our stay, they washed everything in sight (must have brought the contents of their house with them to be washed). They had clothes and household items hanging all over the room and had bags and bags of washing making it impossible to use the facilities. It was rather inconsiderate of this family.

From the manager: Hi - Thanks for your feedback - AS you stae we have not operated that e mail system for over 2 years, prefering to ask customers to come to main reception on arrival where you will be greeted, sited and be given a welcome pack, which explains everything you need to know about the site.
Sorry about your experience of the Laundry room, it is a shame that our goodwill is sometimes is abused which is frustrating.
Thanks again
