Positiv: Club area was nice

Negativ: Asked for XL pitch for motorhome and awning wasn’t enough space for awning
When til reception she gave me another 3 pitches to chose from but these pitches already had someone on them and still not big enough
Ended up in seasonal area which has very uneven pitches
There is only grey water waste disposal if you have tanks to take to it no driver over for motorhome

Positiv: The view over the reservoirs was pretty, that is the only thing going for this site. For tourers though you cannot see the view, only for the statics.

Negativ: They dumped us on a pitch laughably called Extra Large ... Only 4m wide, but 10m long never get an awning up. Looks like it had just been produced, the edging paving slabs were that high, no way you could get a caravan over them without a motormover. The access road was that narrow if there had been anyone on the pitches either side we would have really struggled to get on the pitch at all. Charged us £45 for one night plus £3 for the dog, very poor value for money.

Positiv: The club house was very new and modern and spotlessly clean.

Negativ: The touring pitches - felt like we were on a hard shoulder. Completely impractical for caravans, the road is far too narrow to manoeuvre and the kerbstones were extremely high. It was almost impossible to mount the van onto the pitch.
There is a steep embankment at the rear of the pitch which made positioning the caravan dangerous and unsafe.
It was also unsafe for the young children playing.

Pitches were small and cramped, felt as though you were on top of one another.

The toilets and showers were clean however the was no space whatsoever to store your clothes while you were in the shower or get changed once out. Not even a shelf or a bench.

The site is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues, it’s set on a steep hill and all the steps are very high. The pavements near the toilets are not level and are dangerous.

There was broken glass in the children’s football pitch which made it unsafe to play in.

Also there is no grey waste run off for motorhomes.

Positiv: We all loved the site and the entertainment. This was out first timing using our campervan and felt that all the facilities were great. We are local but would 100% return!!

Negativ: I think paying for the swimming is a little disappointing and children a little too old being able to go into the soft play. Other than that 10/10.

Positiv: We are a mixed family of three older boys and a toddler. We really liked the soft play area for our younger one to play in while we relaxed. The kids entertainment was a nice touch for a small campsite. We didn’t try the pool but it looked really nice and will definitely be going there on our next visit. The view from the bar area is absolutely stunning and the site and shower/ toilet facilities are impressively clean.

Negativ: Barely any food options available unless you leave the site. The touring pitches were gravel and there was just a long stretch of pavement for the kids to play on and also a large drop on one side which would of been dangerous for us to let our younger child have a run around. We definitely would prefer a grass pitch or at least a grass area for the kids to play on while we relaxed outside our caravan.

Positiv: The courteous Staff in reception and bar were fantastic and lovely.
Washrooms, showers extremely clean.

Negativ: Unfortunately the locations of the pitches were a real let down.
We thought we was booking a pitch with a view, unfortunately all we got was a view of trees.
There are no views from the lower or middle level pitches, only from top level.
The area of the pitches could do with some TLC and a tidy up.
Litter and cigarette butt's and bottle tops strewn across the gravel is not very welcoming.
Disappointed not to have a nice view from the van, have to walk down to the bar area and sit there to enjoy a nice view.

Positiv: It was peaceful

Negativ: The receptionist is more concerned about telling you they don't run the pool than welcoming you to site.
I was briefly shown where my pitch was, well more like a gravel car park with a few electric boxes, wasn't shown where anything else was.
I was literally the only one there, I kept thinking...others will turn up... no one did, I like peaceful but this is ridiculous.

Going down to the pool I followed the receptionist direction to find the door is locked and no I can't pay in cash. Eventually got In to the pool area, this is £6 a session and for the most part i had the whole pool to myself until a woman brought her child for a swimming lesson....finally some people, never saw them again and the pool was locked for the next 2 days when I tried to visit... even though it says open 8am till 8pm on the leaflet I was given.

I found opening times on their website to be wrong for pretty much everything and the shop is more like a cafe that sells a few bits you might need...deffo not a full shop.

The only member of staff that was polite friendly and helpful was the guy behind the bar.
No menus given if you want food they will just tell you what they have and serve it to you in a take away tray with wooden cutlery.

Facilities were very basic but at least they were clean.

I think I would have to be desperate to return to this awful site
