From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay in our camping pod and loved the beautiful, peaceful location. It’s great to know you found us central and convenient for exploring the area.

Thank you for recommending us, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back again soon!

Liked Friendly staff at reception helpful and informative. Spacious pitch, though the electrical point was a bit old and cranky. The grounds are lovely and having the river bank to walk along is nice.

Disliked For the amount of money the facilities for touring vans are not good. The toilet block was very clean but the showers were small, you would not be able to shower a child in them or use them safely if you had mobility issues. Granted there is a disabled facility which is locked with a RADAR key , but a stool or bench would help to keep your clothes dry and help you to dress and keep yourself dry. The shower had to be held on constant or the water was cold.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear you found the park clean and tidy, but we are genuinely sorry to learn about the issues you experienced during your stay.

We aim to provide a comfortable, hassle-free experience, and it is clear we fell short in several areas. Your comments regarding the features (lighting and door lock), shower timers, pitch accessibility, and undisclosed spa maintenance have been passed directly to our site management and maintenance teams to be addressed immediately. We also appreciate your feedback regarding our draft selections in the bar and team communication.

We would welcome the chance to discuss this with you further and see how we can make things right. Please feel free to reach out to us.

Liked Lovely site with a great location. Friendly staff. We'd definitely stay again.

Disliked Shower facilities were poor. Desperate of an upgrade. Small cubicles with unhygienic shower curtains.

Liked Park was very tidy and clean loved the area

Disliked The showers were awkward to use as they turn themselves of every few seconds also a fixed head making it very difficult to shower small children
Also the pitches are quite close to the facing pitches making it difficult to get larger vans in the bays

From the manager: Thank you for your review and for recommending us. We’re really pleased to hear you found the park tidy, clean and enjoyed the surrounding area.

We’re sorry to hear you found the showers difficult to use, particularly when showering small children. We appreciate you taking the time to highlight the issue with the shower controls and fixed heads.

Liked The pod itself was close to the facilities (toilets and washing up). It came with a double socket, light and fridge. Compared to our usual tent we could stand upright. It was very nice to have our own bench for breakfast and evening nibbles. It was a good alternative to a tent and great to try one out for the first time. The location of the site was very good for the various places we were going to visit and at £140 for 4 nights it was really good value.

Disliked There are a few issues. The pod was carpeted but it was stained. What had not occurred to us when booking is that people bring their dogs and both people and dogs sleep in these pods. (We could see this happen as others who took pods during our stay did just this). We had basic camping equipment with Thermarests and sleeping bags. Given we slept very close to the floor the thought of dogs having spent time on the floor made this rather less appealing. The site is mostly geared around static caravans with a small area given over to touring campers along with the 3 pods. Although the facilities provided were enough for us their standard seemed to reflect that fact that they were for a minority of people. The men’s facilities were just about okay during the weekdays when there were less guests around but come the weekend when it got busier it was a lot less pleasant. The loos didn't flush particularly well. Fluids from the urinals whether from leaking pipes or men who can't aim blended with some of the water from the showers. This drained into a not particularly well cut and sealed hole and grill in the floor. The facilities may have been cleaned a couple of times a day but I am sorry to say I struggled to see the difference. Being a clean and tidy sort of a person I found the facilities unpleasant. One further issue that was far less prevalent at our end of the site were the geese. We wandered to the other end where there was a pond amongst the statics. There was geese poo everywhere and the smell was unpleasant. How the people in the statics put up with this I do not know. After 4 days we were pleased to leave. I contemplated making these comments when handing in the keys but we were short of time and once I got going I might have been some time!

We’re sorry that some aspects of your stay fell short of expectations, particularly the cleanliness and condition of the pod and toilet facilities. Just to clarify, we have both pet-friendly and non-pet-friendly pods, and pets are not permitted in our non-pet-friendly pods.
