Vom Platzbetreiber: Thanks for your feedback - we are sorry about the electricity, we were made aware later on and was easily rectified. we didnt receive a message to the oncall conatct number, so not sure what happened.

Positiv Easy fast and friendly check in and showed us to our pitch. Good information letter with numbers and codes if needed. Nice and quiet and relaxing in January. Hope to visit again in future. Good location, Only a 20 minute walk to Shrewsbury.

Negativ No hot water for shower on last day after I had a run. Toilets need to be cleaner.

Positiv Quiet. Very close to local amenities. Warm welcome and lots of advice. It is not a campsite in the traditional sense, it doesn’t need to be as everything is close enough in the town to walk to.

Positiv The pitches are very well kept and importantly flat. It was really easy to check in and we were shown around with ease. Showers were not warm on first inspection but the site manager knocked on to say he had fixed it. We really enjoyed our stay, so close to the town centre.

Negativ There was no reception. We were told that the toilets were being worked on so there was a porta style system of 4 toilets and showers. These were filthy and freezing cold. It is January and the heating was not on how we were expected to have a shower in such conditions is beyond me.

Vom Platzbetreiber: We are sorry you didnt have an enjoyable stay - although we are a litle confused as the review above this one and below it all commented on how well the shower facilities were , yes we became aware of an issue as reported but was soon easily rectified (this after a minus 7 degree night) - we dont encourage people to use the static facilities this time of year and all our customers are encouraged to use the £40k bespoke shower and toilet facility, we are not a campsite, but a Showground with some facilities as described in our details, but all our guests are welcomed with a welcome pack and a number that can be contacted should there be any problems.

You were in fact welcome by myself who explained everything to you on your arrival, it is always disapointing when we provide all the information to our guests, who then only see fit to "eat the full course then complain afterwards", we belive we provide excelent value for money considering our location to Shrewsbury, but if you are looking for 3 - 5 star then we are not your campsite, but with avery high customer return rate, we must be doing something right.

For Clarity

After commission you paid us £59.50
After cost of sales at an industry standard of 35%
That leaves us with £38.68 divided by 2 nights is £19.34 divided by 2 people is £9.67 per person per night.

Positiv Clean hot showers, short walk along the river into town centre, lots of lovely independent shops, bars, restaurants and a lovely market hall

Vom Platzbetreiber: We are really dispointed with this comment - I spoke to you and your daughter insisted on parking on the grass miles away from the facilities, despite my best efforts to encourage you to move to a better spot and not on the grass in the mud !

We are a Showground that is over 150 years old with historic buildings - I guess you didnt use the £40k bespoke shower and toilet facility.
