Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi Etta, thank you for leaving a review on The Beeches Campsite. We are so glad you had a lovely stay with us. Lee will appreciate your kind comments I’m sure as he would have helped you out before and during your stay. We totally get the work commitments fact as quite a few of us work full time here. Thanks again for your kind comments and we look forward to welcoming you again to The Beeches.

Positiv overall quiet place , clean toilets

Negativ busy road nearby

Vom Platzbetreiber: Anonymous, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Due to our location, we are pretty close to the A17. We have no control of the traffic noise as we have built up banks to try to lessen this noise. We can be quiet at times but this is totally out of our hands. If we could have a mute button for the road noise, it would be well worn by now. Merci beaucoup

Positiv Nice tidy site, great location for good local pub foods
such as Fulbeck and Caythorpe - only a few miles to Subrooke Moor Golf club,
helpful and friendly owners and clean shower and toilet block

Vom Platzbetreiber: Paul, thank you for taking the time to leave a review on The Beeches. We do spend a lot of time tidying the site and keeping it clean and somewhere we’d want to stay. Location wise, we are centrally placed but we are very close to the A17 which is a dealbreaker for a lot of people. We do take pride in being helpful in any way we can as this forms the core of our beliefs. The fact that us management team use the facilities onsite regularly means we expect a high standard of cleanliness. Yes we’re not far from Subrooke Moor Golf Club but we in Ernest close to a lot of places. Thanks again for your kind comments and we look forward to welcoming you back with us at The Beeches Campsite.

Positiv Lovely site. We only stayed the night but would stay again.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Keith, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review on The Beeches. We’re thrilled that you liked our site. It’s not to everyone’s taste but the fact you thought it was lovely means the world to us. We put in a lot of time maintaining and upgrading the site and we feel we are getting things right. The fact you slept like a baby speaks volumes as a lot of negative reviews are around the road noise and this is clearly documented. Thank you again for your kind comments and we would welcome you back to The Beeches again.

Positiv Distance to Belvoir Castle for our event.
Cleanliness of toilets & shower & general environment.
It is a basic site, but perfect for exactly what we needed.
Ease of getting on site.
Value for money.
Pretty at night time with the solar lights.
The cafe round the corner.

Negativ Ants - not the owners fault, just be savvy about food/rubbish.
The ground is quite hard (had very little rain) if tenting take decent pegs, we bent up quite a few - again not something the owners could do about it.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Rachel, thank you for leaving a review on The Beeches Campsite. You hit the nail firmly on the head there that we are a basic site but are geared towards families. We have made so many changes over the close season in updating and making the site look nice and appealing.
We do have a close working relationship with the cafe owners and as such we both benefit from business.
The ants are an ongoing problem and with the weather as it has been has meant they can be problematic but I’m sure we’re not the only ones going through this. You’re absolutely right about being savvy with very little rain and although we’ve tried watering to get grass to regrow, this is a very hard job to do just now. So glad you mentioned about pegs as we do have a couple of inches of topsoil on the site but it is pure limestone underneath. I have had to remove pegs that people have left due to them bending but these did not agree with our lawnmower at all. We’d welcome you again with us to stay at The Beeches and that you thoroughly enjoyed your event at Belvoir Castle. Thank You

Positiv We thought the camp site was lovely. Very basic and rustic but pretty. The people who run it were helpful and pleasant.

Negativ The toilets and showers. One shower in each was definitely not enough for when the camp is busy. Not enough toilets and they were smelly. Both toilets and showers definitely need updating.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Stephen, many thanks for posting a review on The Beeches. We are a friendly bunch who are helpful and bend over backwards to make your stay more enjoyable.

We have totally revamped the toilet and shower block building in the past winter and this includes the showers and all of the insides including the toilets too. We do not own the structures as these are leased to us so adding extra showers is not an option just now. Unfortunately, some people leave the toilets in a not very nice state and we have subsequently checking these more frequently as a result. Thank you for bring this to our attention.

Positiv Easy to book

Negativ The site was crowded, quite scruffy with lots of uncut pitches. I was given a piece of bare earth with no grass to pitch on, there was constant traffic noise, one of the neighbours played music until midnight

Vom Platzbetreiber: Kerry, thank you for leaving a review on our site. Firstly we are glad you found us easy to book with.
Secondly and more important. Yes we have been busy on our site as we are popular. I’m not sure where you’ve been recently as most or nearly all campsites are experiencing dry spells. Having lush green grass is one thing we do have the time nor finances to tend to. Not sure about uncut pitches as these are cut regularly. At least you had a temporary hard standing (not of our making) for your stay, we have had motorhomes dug in to the grass on occasions. Thankfully this did not happen to you. On our bio and statement we do not hide the fact that we are close to the A17 and for those who are not used to road noise this can be a problem and it sounds like it was for you. As for your neighbour playing loud music, did you report this? We can enforce only if we know about it at the time. As we are a family orientated site, we probably do not meet your stringent requirements and we wish you well to find a perfect campsite which is silent, empty and ticks all of your boxes. Maybe your expectation was too high when with us.

Positiv What a lovely site! Very warm friendly welcome. Lovely play area which our granddaughter loved. Facilities are very clean, bins emptied regularly, spacious pitches. To anyone worried about road noise don’t be. The road is well hidden by trees & bushes which blocks it to a degree & what you can hear you tune out of anyway. We honestly hardly noticed it & it didn’t interrupt us through the night or anything. There is also a lovely cafe at the entrance to the site where we went for breakfast, again very friendly & the food was good quality & well cooked.

We would definitely recommend this site

Negativ Nothing

Vom Platzbetreiber: Karen, many thanks for leaving us a review. We take great pride in what we do here and it’s lovely to know we are getting things right. We do like to welcome everyone in the same way and are aimed at families hence why we have the amount of play park equipment we do. Our ethos throughout the team is to be friendly and approachable.
I’m glad you did not feel the raid was a problem as it is well documented and does reduce our overall scores for a lot of people. I guess it’s down to what you are used to and this is valid. The cafe owned by Chèle and Max is a great facility on our doorstep and we regularly get positive feedback about them which is given to them. We would welcome you back to stay with us should you be in the area and thank you again for your kind comments.

Positiv Lovely flat campsite good clean facilities great play area
Great value

Negativ Proximity to noisy main road - not visible but so noisy - better on back field further away.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Dear Anonymous, thank you for taking the time to leave a review on The Beeches.
Although the site is on a slight gradient overall, we do try to keep pitches as level as we can. The campsite facilities we have are kept meticulously clean and these are checked throughout the day ensuring nothing runs out. Our prices are competitive alongside other campsites in the same area.
Yes, we are located next to the A17 and we do publicise this in our communications. It can be so noisy at times and there is not very much we can do to reduce the amount of noise. It is however, closer on the back field to the main road as only a hedge separates it from the road at the top. Thank you again for taking the time to leave the review on our site.

Positiv Great pitch size and very clean facilities.

Negativ Nothing.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Ben, thank you for taking the time to post a review on The Beeches. You clearly do get our ethos and understand what we are trying to achieve. We are a family orientated site and this is not always to everyone’s liking. We are so glad you chose us to experience your first camping trip as we like to leave great impressions on families who are new to camping. We’d welcome you back to the Beeches anytime.
