Colliford Tavern

Syntes om Nothing

Syntes ikke om The place is advertised on Pitchup as having a restaurant, bar and live entertainment, all day food, various outdoor activities etc. It has none. The bar was shut, the restaurant was shut, there was no entertainment or activities, in fact the place seemed deserted. The showers and toilets were filthy to the point my wife refused to use them, and the whole place was delapidated and suffering from years of neglect and decrepitude. This was not just a result of being closed over the winter, but of years of neglect. There is absolutely nothing to recommend it, you'd be better off stopping in a layby for free.

Fra bestyreren: We are disappointed, though not surprised, to receive such an unbalanced and misleading review, particularly one posted anonymously and clearly intended to damage our reputation rather than offer constructive feedback.

Let us be absolutely clear: paying £18.00 with a dog and expecting full-service hospitality, entertainment, and luxury amenities is both unreasonable and disingenuous and even we have not advertise such. No business can sustainably operate under such expectations, and it is evident that this review serves someone else’s agenda more than it reflects a genuine customer experience.

The review fails to acknowledge any of the realities of budget camping and instead uses exaggerated, inflammatory language with no basis in fact. The site is operational and regularly maintained, with continuous efforts made to improve services. In contrast to this lone comment, we have welcomed countless satisfied guests this season who have shared fair, helpful feedback—most of it positive and appreciative of the value we provide.

This type of anonymous, hostile review—without even providing a name—speaks more to the intention behind it than the experience it claims to describe. We are proud of the work our team does, and we advise future guests to look at the broader set of reviews and experiences, not isolated attempts to misrepresent reality.

We will continue to serve those who approach with fair expectations and genuine intent—not those looking to undermine with baseless negativity.

Sincerely,
Management
Colliford Tavern & Camping Park

Syntes om I cannot think of anything, the 30 minutes we stayed were horrible.

Syntes ikke om The fact that one can book this site on pitch-up and the site States elsewhere on the internet they are closed.
The fact one can pay in advance (by Visa, how convenient).
The fact they don’t expect you when you turn up, but still guide you to the pitches
The fact that the moment you turn into a pitch, the campervan Gets stuck in the mud.
The fact that the caretaker/ warden won’t help at first, but when a bystander starts to hel pushing he helps a bit
The fact the warden points to pitch up an Pitch- up points to the site owner for a refund.
I Think I have all my diskikings noted Here:
The 250 points would be a Nice refund though.

(I know I should have read the reviews. But I think that Pitch-Up also has to remove pitchers with so many bad reviews)

Syntes om Nothing. ... Other than the view the rest was a true disappointment.

Syntes ikke om Everything!!! ... The journey up the approach road should have alerted us to the shambles that was awaiting us. Truly a shambles. Nothing had been attended probably since the last season or ice age depending on what came last. Over grown shrubs and bushes, strewn with the debris of trees and shrubs that had blown all over the site. Also fallen TREES scattered the pitches. The advice given was to pitch in front of a big tree because the smaller ones fall down.!!!! ... The shower didn't work, the toilet is broken and when flushed the water comes out of the back of the toilet!!! ... The rubbish bins were full and smelly and hadn't been emptied ... also probably from the last season. We had to leave after the first night because it was too miserable and depressing to stay. The customer service was awful and the site was like being on the Mary Celeste. This site should never have been advertised as open for business.

Fra bestyreren: Dear Guest,

Kindly contact us via phone or email to arrange this, and we will do our utmost to ensure your next experience is positive and enjoyable.

Once again, we apologise for this oversight and thank you for bringing these matters to our attention.

Syntes om We enjoyed the scenery.

Syntes ikke om No hardstand for motorhome. The ground was too soft the van sunk in. Herd of cow invaded the site. Their hoves chewedup the grounds and cow dropping all over the place. We also had trouble with the electric it kept tripping the electric in the van. (When we arrive home we plugged in the van and everything worked ok)

Syntes om Remote and quiet location.

Anbefal til venner Besøg igen

Syntes om Lovely peaceful location, beautiful scenery, the staff were very friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome. The little bar is nice, generally a great site, we personally loved the location as it felt like you were miles from anywhere, just in a pine forest near the lake.

Syntes ikke om The toilets and shower block were a bit dated and not the cleanest, but served their purpose.
The washing up facilities were also dated and very basic, but everything you need.

Syntes om Little contact with staff, but he was friendly enough.
Reception and facilities were clean but there were very few people staying on the site at what should have been a very busy time.
Nice pub and little shop in St Neots BUT its approx 30 mins away by car.

Syntes ikke om Quite close to A30 therefore significant amount traffic noise.
Many areas of the site were very tired and lacked TLC and what maintenance had been carried out appeared rushed and of poor quality
At one time it had obviously been a very busy site with a large bar area overlooking Colliford lake which was only accessible by travelling approx 1 mile down a narrow road.
