Excellent site
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Very welcoming, plenty of space and well laid out. Very informative about local area. Showers and toilets were very clean and were cleaned numerous times a day. Halfords is a few minutes walk so perfect if you’ve forgot any camping equipment, also Lidl & McDonalds very close.
Disliked It was quite windy and the rain during the night woke me up. Obviously only fault was on me for my timing

Electric grass pitch
Liked Spacious pitch, site was easy to find, nice large toilet block which was clean, good washing up facilities and chemical toilet disposal.
Disliked Shower water was cold at around 10pm. Had to keep asking to be let out and ring someone to get in at night, due to number plate not being recognised. Unfortunately opposite a family that did not supervise their children, and found a small easter egg left in the toilet tent and toys around and close to our pitch ok ate at night. Made sure valuables where with us anyway.

Good site, lovely farm could do with some improvements
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Lovely campsite well spread out, one block of facilities were great and super clean. We loved the animals in the farm and were very lucky with the weather to walk around. Location was good if you have bikes otherwise you need to drive everywhere as just off busy main road.
Disliked We did book hardstanding pitch and were given a grass pitch, although we were lucky with dry weather it doesn’t look like they have many hardstanding pitches available. Unfortunately the park and play fields were closed due to previously floods, when we asked about it they mentioned they are waiting to cut the grass which I would have thought should have been done before a busy Easter weekend as the fields were very clearly ok, fly did out a huge downer on the trip as that was the main reason we booked the campsite. The shower block near us was a bit run down and not as clean so people walked down to the other new block for showers, which caused ques. I would also say, don’t expect a response via email, I emailed 3 times for separate things and never once got a reply. Booked the wrong date (added to many days) and requested for a refund immediately after making the booking stating my mistake and apologising ,which never got a response.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Clean facilities, good spaced pitches and lovely friendly staff
Disliked Quite close to a busy road that does create noise at night
Park was closed so kids were a little disappointed

We would definitely stay again.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Liked having assigned spaces, like the hedges and the way the park was laid out. Nice quiet location, no road noise but also very close to local shops. Really hot water all the time too, washing up facilities were great as were the bathrooms.
Disliked There was a dog poo near our pitch and it was a shame this wasn’t cleared (not the owners fault and it shouldn’t have happened it’s down to the bad dog owner) it was the only mess we saw though.

Excellent site, clean facilities, friendly staff and great pitches.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Excellent site, easy to get to, well maintained grounds, pitches very spacious (either with or without electric hook-up). Very peaceful, great to watch and listen to the local birds / wildlife. Possibly most importantly for many, the shower blocks were very clean, in particular the newer block with heated individual private bathrooms. Staff were very welcoming, friendly and supported immediately with any issues.
Disliked Minor issue experienced on one of our five nights with the electric hook-up tripping off in the night, I'd suggest the supply needs to be upgraded from 10 amps to 13 amps to alleviate this issue. The staff were proactively testing first thing in the morning to check if all pitches were OK.
