Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely campsite, friendly receptionist. Some reviews mentioned traffic noise from nearby road, but it kind of gets ignored and one gets used to it, it’s not as bad as I thought it would be. Facilities well maintained.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Location was good, most pitches were the same distance from the toilet/shower block. The campsite was very accommodating for the children with a great play park, football pitch & indoor play barn. Short walk to Lidl with was handy when staying longer than a couple of nights. We loved the food vendors on site stone baked pizzas were great on Saturday night and the kids loved the visit from the ice cream van too.
Disliked Washing facilities could have been a little cleaner and showers were temperamental 2 days of cold water showers and only one day we were there was their hot water for showers but it didn’t spoil our stay.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We apologise for the hot water issue as we were having severe issues waiting for a new controller for the water heater to turn up and were dealing with an intermittent fault that meant we had to keep resetting the heater. We are hoping the part will arrive in the next couple of days.

Liked Lovely campsite. Plenty of space. Lots for kids to do. Shops, McDonald's and pub all within 5 mins walk.

No soap. No hot water for 2 days.

Lots of people were not happy.
Worst site we have ever been to.
Wish I had read the reviews before I booked.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Whilst we are happy to have constructive and reasonable feedback to respond to, this is just defamatory inaccurate nonsense and simply revenge reviewing for the sake of being spiteful. Most of our customers are happy with the park and their reviews attest to the inaccuracy of your unfounded comments. Laughable.
Excellent site - great for families
