Liked Great host, great communication and information. Nice few facilities on camp, kitchen and showers. Easy to get hold of and helped when i had a flat tide on my bike. Made the stay

From the manager: Thank you Kenny. I was concerned for you riding your bicycle all the way back to Liverpool and do hope you made it home without further mishap.

Liked Easy to find. Instructions very clear. Peaceful. Great to have kitchen goods, such as microwave, kettle, fridge freezer and a room to sit if needed (nb we didn't use).
Great to be able to book odd nights.

Disliked Only 1 shower and £1 coin required. It runs for 10 minutes, great for some, but a long time if camp full and you're waiting.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. I'm really sorry you feel you wouldn't return. You mention that you didn't find my site child friendly yet most campers do and I strive to make it so. I would welcome any feedback you could give on how I could improve. I have set the shower on a ten minute timer to strike a balance on giving plenty of time to have a good shower, but at the same time, preventing people from spending ages whilst others are waiting. I strive to keep all the facilities as clean as possible by patrolling many times a day.

Liked Lady friendly & helpful but didn't feel over-watched.
Lovely views.
Lovely area with lots of local attractions. Would have liked to have stayed longer to do more of the Sandstone trail.

Disliked The weeds near the chickens could do with pulling if I had to be picky - only cos I have a lil boy but other than that was great! Nothing bad! X

From the manager: Thank you for your review. Glad you enjoyed your stay. I let the wildflowers grow a little along the hen run.but they are. Not. Tall. It. Stops the hens being frightened by dogs poking their noses through the chicken wire.

Liked Peaceful and scenic

Disliked Nothing

From the manager: Thank you for your good review Neil. Good to know your child has taken to camping and you can now invest in better equipment.

Liked Lovely owner, location and animals. Site was clean.

Disliked Bit short on facilities and most groups on site were noisy until midnight with no attempt to get it under control. Dogs barked day and night, made sleeping difficult and put a significant damper on the weekend

From the manager: Hi Mike. I have replied but stupidly put on wrong customers review. So please can you read. I also meant to add that I couldn't understand what you meant by lack of facilities as nobody has said this before. If the pitch up review system allows could you clarify. Thank you.

Liked Amazing location,everything you needed as we didn’t have the electricity pitch,Claire was more than happy to accommodate to anything,had a lovely walk in to the town,will definitely be back again

From the manager: Hi Mike. I'm so sorry to hear this. I know the group in question and I did speak to them at 10.00 when I shut the hens in and asked them to turn music down and asked their children to play quietly. I heard the occasional yap from dogs but did hear anything at night, however, from my house I wouldn't be able to hear. I would always stress in these situations to please message me and I will come out immediately and deal with the problem. Over the ten years I've run my site I've only had to do this a handful of times. In fact, I now have a note on pitch up to say loud behaviour and bad language will not be tolerated as this is a family site and the offenders will be asked to leave. Again, sincere apologies.

Liked Lovely small campsite. After a week on the road, it was nice to have a proper kitchen to wash up in. The girls loved the ‘secret path’ too. Not a dislike but a heads up, you will need to take your non-recyclable waste home with you.

The best thing by far was that when I messed up the booking, Claire went out of her way to fix it. I booked for the wrong night and unfortunately Claire was fully booked for the second night but she made all the arrangements to book us in a site round the corner. It was completely my fault but Claire went above and beyond to fix it.

From the manager: Hi Marina. Thank you for your great review. Just to clarify an error on my. Pitch. Up details. The only stuff campers have to take home is unwanted camping equipment. In the past I've been overwhelmed. Non recyclable waste such as nappies etc, I collect from the bins in the toilets and these go in my black bin. I have requested an emendment on pitch up.

Liked We loved our stay at Larkhill cottage, couldn't fault it. Claire the owner was lovely. The kitchen was well equipped and so useful to us, shower/toilets were clean. A small and peaceful site with plenty of space for children to run around. Enjoyed spotting birds from our tent. Our little boy loved the animals too. We would definitely stay again.
