Muscovy camping pod (deluxe, two person)
Liked: The pod. The facilities and cleanliness of the pod.
Disliked: The lack of basics in the pod - why give a chopping board and no knife or tea cups and a kettle but no tea spoon? The shower costing a pound for 5mins even when paying for pod stays

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Good location, nice staff, good cafe serving bacon sandwiches etc. shower cubicles and toilets are nice and clean.
Disliked: Nothing really. £1 for 5 minutes in the shower was okay for me. Stops folk hogging it and was plenty of time. We had a fire pit that was £20 per night with logs. Tbh I thought this was extremely expensive. We’ve stayed all over the country and that’s by far the most we’ve paid per night for a fire pit and logs. But, clutching at straws was good over all.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Lovely vibrant site with great entertainment. You can be part of the more lively crowd or choose the more quiet overflow field. Clean children’s playground with lots for them to play on. It was lovely to see kids running around playing games.
Disliked: My only small gripe is not enough water taps. Some at the top of the field are needed.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Loved the park my little one and his cousins had a great afternoon/morning playing. And the lake was beautiful to walk around.
Disliked: Unclear where bins are. Very rowdy neighbours howling after 10 pm in the evening when kids are asleep & would have loved a little shop to buy logs etc to be open a bit later as we ran out around 9pm and no option to get any or some lockers with some included.

Overall clean, but needs fragrance sprays, to lift unpleasant scents.

Electric grass pitch
Liked: Lovely play area for the children. It really does help keep them busy. My God Daughters were able to make friends on site similar to their ages. Shower block, good overall kept clean, but desperately needs scent air fresheners near toilets and sinks. Unpleasant smells at different times. Local food hall near by 2.3 miles. Handy if you forgot something. Lovely grounds to explore on the site.
Disliked: Paying a £1 coin, each time to take a shower, I don't think this should be a separate fee with electrical pitches. We were a family of 4, and we shower day and night as that's our hygiene routine. The extra £16 we paid in showers was unfair in my opinion. We only stayed a extra day due to the kids enjoying themselves and the weather, turning for the worst in the morning that was poor before, it changed for the better. I think the shower fees need to be reviewed. Also the post code difference on Pitch up doesn't help. We ended up elsewhere but close. When we eventually found it, was advised correct post code on website. Phone signal a bit hit and miss.
