Electric grass pitch (XL)

Liked: nice site shame my stay on this occasion was not good

Disliked: the whole three days of my stay was spoilt with the sound of 5 yapping dogs which started between 6am and 7 in the morning and then to top it off the van next door smoked pot all the time not what i need to smell and as for the rules of the site alot of them went straight out the window

From the manager: Hi
I'm very sorry for the noisy dogs in your area.
I've looked up the bookings around you and out of the eight pitches in that bay, 6 had dogs.
If the dogs seemed upset, we would always like this reported. As hopefully the dog should never be unhappy.
But you are right the orange area is the best place if you prefer an area without dogs.

Hope to see you again,
Kind Regards,
Robert

Fully-serviced grass and gravel pitch (super)

Liked: Toilets blocks very clean

Disliked: Neither club houses were dog friendly despite the site being dog friendly

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Sorry you didn't realise the dogs were not allowed in the facilities.
I did double check that I had it set correctly within PitchUp and it does say "Dogs are prohibited from main facilities and amenities" sorry you didn't spot that.
Hopefully you’ll find some dog friendly bars on your future hols.
Regards
Robert

Local attractions

Shropshire is a pretty peaceful place without too many crowds most of the time, so grab your chance to get stuck into a few gentle activities like floating on the Shropshire Union Canal, river Severn or Llangollen canal (50 minutes' drive). The site is also within striking distance of Ironbridge Gorge (45 minutes), a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Adore exploring the history of a place? Take yourself to spots like the British Ironwork Centre (35 minutes), Blists Hill Victorian Town (40 minutes) and Royal Air Force Museum Midlands (40 minutes), or pretend like you've gone back in time at Attingham Park (25 minutes), a National Trust site. The Quarry (half an hour) is a gorgeous spot for a little stroll in Shrewsbury, and if you fancy something a bit more challenging, Hawkstone Park Follies (five minutes) has sandstone hills and caves. If you're looking for activities that'll entertain the kids, however, make a beeline for Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World (35 minutes). The site is near plenty of historic Shropshire towns and villages, from Hodnet (10 minutes) and Ellesmere (20 minutes) to Market Drayton (20 minutes) and Oswestry (40 minutes).
