The Pig Place

Positiv No pigs,
Toilets cleaned regularly
Unbelievable full English breakfast from the onsite food vendor.
Good welcome with quick show around where things are!

Negativ Uneven ground.
No showers but aware there was none.
We went for supposed fishing but no swims to fish.
Awkward fishing between moored barges.
Not ideal.
If want fishing go elsewhere.
Otherwise ideal good value friendly place

Positiv Lovely location for walking up and down the Oxford canal. There’s a little bar, food truck and small farm shop on site which is as a nice touch. Toilets were clean and sound. No showers and the running water was slow as it’s from a borehole, but didn’t bother us at all.

Negativ Probably only thing was no showers but we knew that before hand so didn’t bother us really but would probably be a nice touch

Shop
Walk in -walk out along nearby canal
Kettle near wash point for hot water

Negativ Close to M40 and main railway line so noisy, especially at night, if you're not used to it.

Ground very uneven in places
Train noises, seemed to quieten through the night
Cafe not open
Bar not open
Limited ‘farm’ shop, unsure when it was open
Place is looking tired

Positiv Beautiful location. I was hesitant after booking and then realising that there was no pigs on site anymore & some reviews said that nothing was open either. But….when arrived we greeted by a lovely young man in the reception shop, who showed us where everything was & what we needed to know. Lovely variety of things to buy in there from your essentials to drinks and meats. Also the Outside bar was open with seating looking over the canal. With this being an adults only site it was very peaceful, just what was needed for an overnight escape. Pretty grounds and a lovely canal walk close by

Negativ The only thing that put me off coming back here was the toilet situation.
These are unisex portaloos.
would be much better if they divided it

Positiv Relaxed and laid back. Great that it’s a no kids site after 6pm.

Negativ The toilets are crap to pardon the pun. Would be so much better if there was a proper toilet block

Positiv It’s a decent place, nice shop and friendly staff. We was greeted and shown around and felt at home. Loved the bar they have and the pig sty/ stable area. There was a little band playing pirate music! Great surprise

Negativ Toilets are portaloo’s and were full! The smell was horrendous. Unsure when they get emptied as we stayed one night
