Regarding your comments about the showers, we’d like to reassure you that we regularly monitor how many shower blocks are open each day based on the number of guests on site, including during the low season when fewer facilities may be needed.

Positiv Big play area for the kids a bit more suited to 4+ I’d say climbing stuff, a woods to wonder around, kids liked hearing the monkeys from the zoo in the evenings 😜 very tidy site, clothes washing facilities. Book swap and games to borrow modern showers. Very helpful staff that go out of their way to help you. We got there and were worried about getting stuck so she kindly moved things around so there was room for us to stay on a hard standing at no extra cost. Discount on the soo next door. Shop and chip shop over the road. Another park down the road too. We were a large 6 berth seater motorhome.

Negativ Maybe trim some branches of the trees along the roads leading to the pitches as it hits the top of the motorhome and some places unavoidable. Only negative at all :)

Negativ Wi-Fi was weak

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your feedback — we’re really pleased to hear you were happy with the cleanliness of our showers and toilets.
We’re sorry to hear the Wi‑Fi felt weak during your stay. We’ve been reviewing the system following comments like yours, but it’s worth noting that getting a strong signal inside a motorhome or caravan can be difficult due to the insulation and materials used. Even so, we’re continuing to look at ways we can improve coverage around the site.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.
We hope to welcome you back to Applewood soon.
