From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beach, that the kids had fun with the entertainment, and that you liked the swimming pool.
We appreciate your comments regarding the number of cars on site. As you mentioned, this is a reflection of the size of the park, but we understand it can make the site feel busy during peak times.
We're also sorry to hear that you found the food and drink prices in our dining areas to be expensive. We value all guest feedback and will share your comments with the relevant team as we continually review our offering.
We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you and your family back for another enjoyable stay.
Not overly impresed
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Good clean site with good amenities and great scenery
Disliked Small pitches, had a caravan behind us with about 2m in between, pitch on a slope, rabbit droppings everywhere, food over priced, cater more for static caravans than motorhomes and caravans.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We're delighted you enjoyed our clean facilities, amenities, and the beautiful scenery.
We're sorry to hear that some aspects of your stay didn't meet your expectations. As a rural park, our natural surroundings mean that local wildlife, including rabbits, are part of the environment, although we do our best to keep the grounds well maintained.
We're also sorry that you found your pitch smaller than expected and not as level as you had hoped. We appreciate that different guests have different space requirements, and your comments will be taken on board as we continue to improve our park. We're also grateful for your feedback regarding our food pricing and the balance of facilities for touring guests.
We appreciate your honest comments and hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.
Lovely place - but a fundamental is getting decent sleep
Electric grass tent pitch
Liked Nice clean facilities. Good sized pitches. Beautiful scenery, private beach was amazing. Auchfest was great for adults and kids.
Disliked No one checking on anti social behavior- 4 am a motor home with people outside were still up shouting, swearing , drinking. We did hear the security driving by but clearly they didn’t have windows down to hear.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We're delighted you enjoyed our clean facilities, spacious pitches, beautiful surroundings, private beach, and Auchfest.
We're sorry to hear your stay was affected by noise and antisocial behaviour. While our security team does patrol the park, we're disappointed they didn't identify the disturbance on this occasion. We also appreciate your feedback about the emergency contact number and will review how we make guests aware of it.
We hope to welcome you back for a more peaceful stay in the future.
Lots to do with the kids at a lovely beach front location hoilday park
Electric grass tent pitch
Liked Location of holiday park was excellent, the play parks for the kids was great and swimming pool was clean and tidy
Disliked Got put on the pitch site 4g tent site, the grass was 45 degree angle with no flat surface, phoned our of hours number and we thankfully got moved to up closer to the toilets on a flat bit of grass but still on a slope , heavy stream directly behind us when tenting with a 3 year old and no hot water to shower in the toilet block, it sounds like I'm having a go but if we got placed on a flat pitch and had hot water it would have just topped off whats was an amazing time away

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed our fantastic location and that your family made the most of the play parks and our swimming pool.
We're very sorry to hear that your original camping pitch wasn't suitable and that you experienced issues with the hot water during your stay. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we're glad our out-of-hours team was able to relocate you to a more suitable pitch.
Your feedback is invaluable, and we've shared your comments with our park team so we can review pitch allocation and investigate the hot water issue to help prevent this happening again.
Thank you again for your balanced feedback. We hope that, despite these issues, you'll consider visiting us again so we can provide you with the five-star experience you were hoping for.
Really enjoyed our visit and will absolutely be booking again
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked The site was so clean and tidy, the showers are spotless and hot. Staff were friendly and visible throughout the day. Lots of play area for kids inside and out and plenty of lovely places to get the dogs out for their own adventures.
Id booked the wrong dates and the staff changed them for me without any issue or charge.
Disliked We unfortunately booked the same days as the cast of watership down. Rabbits everywhere - ordinarily this would be soooo cute but with reactive Bulldogs we struggled to avoid carnage. Thankfully no wabbits were harmed by our dogs.
Getting WiFi would mean signing up to PayPal so we didnt bother but there was an Internet cafe available
Although accessible the site is hilly so those with mobility issues like myself should consider this when booking, there are paths to every venue though

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the cleanliness of the site, our hot shower facilities, and the range of play areas for both children and dogs. It's also wonderful to know that our team was able to help with your booking amendment and that you found them friendly and visible throughout your stay.
We had to smile at your description of sharing the site with the "cast of Watership Down" The local wildlife certainly likes to make an appearance from time to time, although we appreciate that this can be a challenge for guests with reactive dogs. We're glad to hear that no rabbits came to any harm and hope your Bulldogs still managed to enjoy their stay.
Thank highlighting the Wi-Fi sign-up process and the site's hilly terrain. We understand that the gradients may be more challenging for some guests with mobility concerns, and we appreciate you sharing this information to help future visitors plan their stay. We're pleased that the accessible pathways around the park were helpful.
We hope to welcome you, your Bulldogs, and the rest of the family back again soon.

Great for kids and adults but cleanliness of toilets could do better.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Kids entertainment during the day was excellant
Disliked The toilets on the touring part of the site only cleaned once a day and for the amount of people in and out just wasn't enough.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review.
We're delighted to hear that your children enjoyed the daytime entertainment team and that this was a highlight of your stay.
We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the toilet facilities on the touring area. We are sorry that the cleanliness did not meet your expectations during your six-night stay. We understand how important clean and well-maintained facilities are to our guests, and we're disappointed to hear this detracted from your overall experience.
Our toilet blocks are cleaned twice daily and will be done again if we are notified that they are not up to someones expectations.
We have passed your comments to our housekeeping team, and we are reviewing our cleaning schedules for the touring facilities to ensure they are serviced more frequently during busy periods.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide a much-improved experience.
