Wolford Wood

Positiv Very nice, welcoming Hosts, great location, good facilities, nice big playground for the little ones. Campsite is large enough that even when quite busy there is more than enough space around the tents

Negativ -The water supply was a big issue for us, spent 2 night and weren't able to have a shower, took a few tries to get dishes washed too.
-the whole "take your rubbish home with you" policy while being camped in a field full of flies and wasps makes for not such a great experience
-ground is very bumpy & full of holes, wouldn't recommend sleeping on a thin self inflating matress
-paying £10/day for a firepit & £8 for logs seemed expensive to us, after paying over £50/night for the pitch

Positiv Quirky place to stay
Pigs on site were friendly

Negativ No one to check in or welcome guests.
Cabins don't lock - some doors hardly shut
No lock on bathroom facilities for the cabins
No hot water to the 'outdoor kitchen' or bathroom sink.
No water in the bathroom facilities if the owners are using their taps
Member of male staff was incredibly rude and aggressive to my 15yo duaghter when we return to site at 2200hrs. We were never told this was frowned upon.
No dogs are allowed yet there was dog poo on the paths in the site

Vom Platzbetreiber: Dear Customer,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with your review on PitchUp. We are genuinely sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate the opportunity to respond.

Welcoming you - While we do try to meet all guests at check-in, as a small team, this is not always possible. We offer a self-check-in experience for convenience, with details sent in an email before arrival - we understand that some guests prefer a meet and greet, but aim to give plenty of detail in our email, just in case.

Cabin locks and bathroom facilities - they have never been lockable, but recently we have had a few requests like yours and we are now putting them on. Thank you for persuading us.

Water - we discovered a big leak in the field which has been fixed.

Staff - speaking rudely is absolutely not acceptable and we are so sorry. We are investigating this internally and will ensure it is addressed appropriately.

Clear site rules - are also being updated, thank you for helping us understand this.

Dog waste - while we are a no-dogs site, dogs do live on site and though we are diligent in cleaning up after them, we can only apologise that it was missed on this occasion.

We truly regret that your stay didn’t meet expectations and are taking many actions as a result of your feedback.

Kind regards,

Wolford Wood team

Positiv It felt like home away from home. There is so much heart and effort put into this place. The owners are sooo welcoming! The animals make it such a great experience too. Facilities are brilliant! Super clean and very well thought out. 5min away from the village with lots of cafes and restaurants, a woodland walk right on the doorstep and a great, central location. The whole place was bursting with butterflies, just proving how rich in greenery the whole area is. I will definitely be back. I had the best stay!

Negativ Nothing

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hello,

Thank you for taking time to leave us a review - we're really happy you enjoyed the shower!

We're sorry to hear that the pitch set up wasn't quite to your liking. Our site is designed to offer more a 'wild camping' experience, which is why we don't allocate numbered pitches or mow the meadow. This helps us preserve the natural habitat for local wildlife. We also keep guest numbers low to ensure there's always enough space for everyone to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

We really appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back soon!

All the best,
The Wolford Wood Team

Positiv A great site!
The pitches had a wild camping feel thanks to the nice touch of leaving the grass between pitches long.
While the camping kitchen (with kettle, lighting and plenty of washing up sinks) and the toilets and showers were well maintained and had everything I needed.

Good availability of fire pits, and the availability of grills too meant I could do some cooking on the fire as well.

(Also there's a park run here on a Saturday morning... which I'm sure is lovely for people far fitter than I am!)

Negativ Only negative was the site can get a bit waterlogged after rain, but that's camping in Britain in October! Bring some boots/wellies and that ceases to be a problem! (Only putting this here as a footwear reminder to others, definitely not as a reason not to visit!)

Positiv Just travelling through on bike.

Positiv Beautiful and peaceful location near a forest, and not too far from local attractions and amenities. The firepit hire and logs were a great addition, as well as the washing up and shower facilities. Parking was plentiful.

Negativ Wheelbarrows could do with updating and repairing as the ideas is very convenient, however almost all of them were either loose screws and handles, or punctured tyres which made them difficult to use.
