Líbí se The site was nice, we were on the big grass field at the back of the site with a water tap and electric close by. The toilet block and showers were spotless.

Nelíbí se We live over 250 miles from the site and wanted to leave early on the Saturday morning but found that a condition of the booking was that the gates were locked at 10.30 at night till 8 the next morning so we couldn't get infront of the traffic by leaving at 5am, we weren't happy and when I looked on the booking again this information was hidden away in the small print which, granted, I should have read but no one expects to be locked in when you actually get a number to punch in to get in and out and how would emergency services get in in the middle of the night, I presume they could override it then!

Líbí se The pitch size was great, was close to water points and not too far from toilets etc. The facilities were new and very clean, although the site was pretty empty when we were there so can't comment on how busy they get. Loved the dark skies but make sure you pack a torch! The table tennis and other games in the barn are a great addition.

Nelíbí se Not a dislike but make sure to shop en route as there's nowhere locally and that you get the gate code before arrival.

Líbí se Has all you need to pitch up and helpful staff.

Nelíbí se Small shower block for the amount of pitches and a long walk to the block, could not find a place to drop my gray water without a pipe. Long drive on very narrow roads if you struggle with reversing you would be in trouble.

Many thank you for your review and your private notes to us in the review to say you struggle with some things that are simple. I completely understand you are entitled to leave a review as you wish but your niggles are very much one off, other than perhaps the distance to shower blocks being 100 metres which can be far for some.

But regarding grey waste, it is quite clearly labelled at the entrance to the shower block that you walk right past, and also with us having 8/9 showers and 8/9 toilets per sex for our size I would strongly disagree that our shower blocks are not capable of the capacity.

Many thanks

Líbí se Facilities were well maintained and very clean.

Nelíbí se Grass Pitches were dry and cracked. Not great for pitching on. Biggest issue is they have alarmed gates that are locked at 10.30. This meant we missed the local festival fireworks that we were hoping to see during our stay. As the gate had a code on it anyway, the curfew seemed a bit much

It's a shame you felt the need to leave this review because you missed the fireworks festival. With over half the site going to see the firework festival this prior weekend, I very much doubt the gates were the reason it was missed. Especially with me checking you in and explaining how to get into the site after 10:30 pm. 10:30 is not a curfew, simply just the last entry for vehicles, with there being an overflow car park and pedestrian entry at all times. This is not only for security, but also to reduce noise, and to prevent vehicles' headlights shining in units at ungodly hours.

The cracks are neither a site issue nor a pitch issue; it has not rained since February, meaning the ground is dry...

Líbí se Nice big pitches, with our own waste and tap facilities excellent and the dog shower area is great. Security is top notch.

Nelíbí se It is the Dorset hideaway. If it hadn’t have been for the direction signs our satnav would probably not found it. But it wouldn’t stop us returning.

Many thanks for your kind and honest review, it really helps our family business. We very much agree we couldn’t have chosen a more suitable name, we very much agree our location is like chalk or cheese, you either hate it or love it. But if your after peace and quiet and a good scenery that is very much us.

Many thanks

Many thanks for your review it really helps our family business.

Regarding showers we have two blocks, about 8-10 showers per sex, meaning even in peak bank holiday weekends we have never had any issues.
