Little Acres Camping

Liked Lovely little campsite

Liked It’s a delightfully well thought out little 15 plot site. There is a lovely children’s playground and a covered sitting area for the bad weather. Don’t be put off by the washrooms being in a container, many sites use this method, inside has incredible attention to detail with slip free matting, many mirrors and hooks (so important) various expensive liquid soaps and shampoos provided, hanging plants and very well cleaned. it’s more like a spa than a campsite. Finally the owner is friendly and helpful. Our best site so far on this holiday.

Disliked There is nothing to dislike.

Liked We received details of our plot number (and the all important number for the Campers' kitchen) on the morning of our scheduled arrival, as previously indicated. Joanne came over to introduce herself and check everything was all right very soon after she was free from her prior engagement, which was good to see.

The pitches are VERY spacious, and considerately laid out, with very reasonable distances to the EHUs. For the most part, a lot of effort has been put into making level nearly all of the pitches with EHUs, which is no mean feat on the rolling hills of Armagh. It was much appreciated!

The Campers' kitchen is a wonderful facility, with two sinks for washing up, some crockery for communal use - PLEASE wash up if you use them!, a Microwave, a toaster, and an electric kettle. Fabulous! There are also two small tables with 3 seats at each, so you can eat in there, if you so wish.

Although we didn't use the play area (haven't done for over 50 years - ha ha!), there had clearly been a great deal of thought put into the number of climbing frames, swings, scooters, pedal-carts, etc., to cater for the families who use it.

And, as a precautionary measure, there are notices to remind people to keep any barbecues at least 18" above the grass.

When we arrived, there were several families there (in tents), and the children were wonderfully behaved in keeping away from "the grey nomads". And, noise levels were significantly reduced, indeed almost minimal, from about 8.30pm, even though it was a bright, sunny evening. (My compliments to the families involved!)

When a French couple arrived late on the Sunday night, Joanne went out of her way to ensure they could make onward bookings for other sites during their trip around the island of Ireland. It was noticeable to us, that she spoke extra clearly to enable them to understand what she was saying. (When we spoke to them later, they expressed (again) their appreciation of how she had welcomed them.)

Disliked The Toilet and Shower block - as you go in,
* at the left-most end, screened by a partition board, are the urinals, and three wash basins;
* immediately ahead are the toilet cubicles, and some more wash basins - no sex discrimination here!; and,
* at the right-most end, is the single shower.

There is no private cubicle where someone could have, say, a stand-up wash, or wet shave at a sink.

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I prefer segregation for Men and Women's toilet facilities. I understand that such facilities cost money, but I would hope that some planning for the future would include such enhancements.

And this next bit is NOT the fault of the Little Acres Campsite, but I have to mention it...
Access to the site is up a narrow country lane, so caution is important, especially as you approach a bend or hidden dip; thankfully, there were no racing-car drivers about.)

Liked Quiet and very clean. Owner was lovely, she called round to make sure everything was OK during our stay. Very personable and really appreciated.

Disliked The road up to it is very tight, thankfully it's quiet. I wouldn't like to see two cars towing caravans to meet anywhere on this road...

Liked Very clean, and well maintained. Toilets were regularly cleaned. Lovely park and play area for kids, and there was plenty of fire pits going in the evenings. Very close to town.

Liked Very quiet campsite in a beautiful landscape.

Disliked There was a single steel clad industrial toilet block with men and women sharing the same cramped toilets. Toilet block was cold and the hand driers did not work, nor were there any hand towels.

From the manager: Hi
Our toilet facilities are communal with separate toilets and showers. In the near future we aim to provide another toilet block most likely with ladies and gents separate areas.We pride ourselves on the cleanliness of the toilet block. Its unfortunate you found them cold; maybe something to do with the time of year (April). Hand dryers working perfectly.

Liked Very open and friendly atmosphere
