Liked Everything about the site was excellent, except for the dislike comment.
Disliked I spent two nights there. Unfortunately my pitch was 10metres away from some houses. One of which had dogs barking all through the day. Fortunately I went out most of the day. Won’t go there again.

From the manager: Thank you for your review.
We're delighted to hear that you found so much to enjoy about the site and that your overall experience was excellent.
We're sorry to hear that noise from neighbouring properties impacted your stay. We understand how disappointing it can be when barking dogs disturb the peace and relaxation you're hoping for during your time away. Unfortunately, as these properties are outside of our site, this is not something we have direct control over, but we do appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. While we're sorry this affected your visit, we're pleased that the rest of your stay met your expectations.

From the manager: Thank you for your review.
We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the large open grass area at the top end of the campsite and found it to be a highlight of your stay.
We're sorry that the location of your pitch wasn't quite what you were hoping for. We understand that some guests travelling in campervans prefer a quieter area away from static caravans and touring pitches. We'll certainly take your feedback on board as we continue to look at how we can best accommodate different guest preferences.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future.

It was unfortunate that a previous visitor had not reported the fault
Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch (large, twin axle)
Liked Decent camp site with good facilities and modern, well maintained toilets/showers.
Disliked Electric hook-up was hopeless - kept tripping out even though we had very little power demand. Was forced to move to another pitch having spent considerable time getting the caravan levelled/steadied & set up with power/water/drainage for an overnight stay. Emergency reception were sympathetic but couldn’t help until next day.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We're pleased to hear you enjoyed the campsite facilities and found the toilet and shower blocks modern and well maintained.
We're very sorry to learn about the issues you experienced with the electric hook-up on your pitch. We appreciate how frustrating it must have been to move after already spending time levelling and setting up your caravan, particularly during a short overnight stay. While we're glad our out-of-hours team were able to offer support and understanding, we recognise that this did not resolve the inconvenience you experienced at the time.
Your comments have been noted and shared with our team so that the electrical supply on the affected pitch can be reviewed and any necessary remedial work carried out. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as it helps us maintain the standards our guests expect.
We hope that, despite this issue, you will consider staying with us again in the future and give us the opportunity to provide a much smoother experience.
