The site was local so easy…
Electric grass pitch
Liked The site was local so easy to get to. It was quiet and relaxed
Disliked Bathrooms were not the cleanest (although they were cleaned daily). In need of complete reverb
By the Friday evening, the site was packed and each pitch was too close to each other (personal preference is to have personal space)

From the manager: Thank you for taking time to leave us a review, Wendy.
Reading your review, we can only wonder why, if you have a preference for "personal space" you booked on a family holiday park in the middle of the summer holidays which is our busiest period of the year. Yes, it is "quiet and relaxed' in the week but at weekends, strangely enough, we are very busy, especially this time of the year. It is very soul-destroying when customers mark us down for being what we are supposed to be, a busy family holiday park during the summer. We suggest if you enjoy personal space doing your research before you book and go to somewhere quieter, I think you will find this time of year, whatever park you go to, it is going to be busy.
Yes, we do clean the toilets every single day without fail. The majority of our reviews praise us for this, we are sorry they weren't up to your standards and you feel they need a complete refurb. We will pass that on to the powers that be. They will be thrilled we're sure.
Happy Travels. The Oak View Team. 😊 🌳

Worth the money, nice little place, would reccomend.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Location is handy, got some woods near by for the kids to roam in. Not allot else on the park but theres nothing wrong with that. Just have to keep yaself busy, also lots of trees about where i was situated so plenty of shade in this weather. They let us use our gazebo free of charge too because of the heat which was nice. Also had some amazon packages delivered before we arrived which were handed to us on arrival which again was nice.
Disliked The toilets were a bit grim. Nothing too horrific but just felt like they didnt get cleaned while i was there. Only stayed 3 nights so maybe theres not cleaned that regular, or maybe im just a clean freak.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, we do accept the good with the bad and will use your comments to make improvements.
Again, we can't say it enough, PLEASE research what we have on site before you book. If you feel there is not enough for your children to do, please look elsewhere. Having said this, a lot of our customers use the park as a base and go out for days, and there are the woods and a large green in the middle for the children to play in. We also try to pitch the children together so that they can make friends, many do and it's nice to see them all playing together.
Regarding the toilets:
These get cleaned every single day without fail and checked regularly. There will always be times when customers do need to use them before they have been cleaned. This time of year, when there is a constant footfall of people using them, they may not be up to standard at all times. Please read all our other reviews, most praise the cleanliness of the facilities. Spare a thought for the cleaner who has to deal with things that you wouldn't have to deal with in your own home. Unfortunately, human nature can sometimes make people inconsiderate, leaving things behind for others to deal with without a second thought.
We will take your comments into consideration and work harder to rectify this. The Oak View Team. 😊 🌳
Not a lot…
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Not a lot
Disliked Over crowded. Insufficient toilet facilities for number of people on site
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for taking time to leave us a review , Grahame, all be it a negative one. 😊
You made your one night booking during our busiest time of the year, the school summer holidays, during a very a very hot spell which meant we have been more busy than usual. We aren't really quite sure what you were expecting on a family holiday park.
We have never had comments about insufficient toilet facilities before so that's a new one. May we suggest that you go to an adults only or wild camping site in the future, where there are no people.
Happy Travels.
The Oak View Team. 😊 🌳
