Camping pod
Liked: Great secure location Pods are well heated Plenty of hot water Showers and toilets were good in comparison to other camping sites Easy to book and clear instructions
Disliked: New shower curtains - very mouldy Tiles in shower and floor need a good scrub - this isn't weekly dirt but several months! Mattresses in the pods need renewing

From the manager: Thank you for your comments regarding your recent stay with us. I apologises that the shower curtains, floors and tiles were not clean. I have personally inspected this area and have instructed staff and contractors to ensure this is resolved. The new pod mattresses are arriving in 2 weeks time, after a delay this summer with our supplier. I apologises you are one of the last customers to use these before being renewed.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked: Our weekend stay at this camping and activity centre was exceptional. Nestled in the heart of nature, the site offers a perfect retreat from urban life. The surrounding woodlands create a serene atmosphere, while the well-designed pitches ensure privacy for each group. Despite rainy weather, we found plenty to do both on-site and in the surrounding area. The centre offers a diverse range of activities suitable for all ages. Our family particularly enjoyed: Archery: Led by Chris, an outstanding instructor Caving: Another thrilling experience guided by Chris Hiking: Exploring the nearby trails Chris deserves special mention. His clear explanations of safety basics and engaging teaching style significantly enhanced our adventure activities. His expertise and enthusiasm made our experiences in archery and caving both safe and exhilarating. The staff's friendliness and professionalism contributed greatly to our positive experience. They were always ready to help and provide information about the centre and local attractions.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked: I liked that it was fridge and refrigerator, other than that nothing to like to much.
Disliked: When I arrived, the prices was quite expensive for any of the activities. If you don't come with lots of extra money is useless since there's nothing else to do. The camp site was inside the forest instead outside. Like wild camping.

From the manager: Good Morning, We are sorry that the site was not quite what you were expecting. Our price is per pitch for up to 6 guests, rather than per person, for spacious pitches that are separated from each other by trees, offering groups a sense of off grid reconnection with nature whilst not being far removed from civilisation. Activities can be pre-booked for 6 years old and older, but these are in addition to the pitches as not all customers are interested in the activities that we deliver. Many campers are looking for a little oasis of nature to escape to and just chill by a firepit or kick a football around on the games field. There are plenty of walks in the local area, with an amazing array of wildlife to spot, if that is your thing? Or we can provide ideas of other things to do in the area suited to your interests. This is included in an Information Pack that is emailed with the final information. As an improvement, we will include this information once the booking is received and confirmed so that campers are able to plan their stay in advance. Best wishes, The Team Runway's End Outdoor Centre
