Mill Paddock Campsite

Positiv Owners were welcoming, always a hello or friendly wave.
Clean showers & toilets. Short grass. Nicely spaced pitches. Lovely walks near by. An abundance of wildlife. The Guineafowl came & did their rounds on the last day.

Negativ Nothing to dislike.

Positiv The site was well laid out,grass is kept short,plenty of space for your tent and car.The shower/toilet block was kept very clean.Abby and Paul were very welcoming and helpful.Optional electric was great,first time we've done electric camping and was great value at only £20 extra.Bought the fire wood from the site which comes with everything you need(newspaper,kindling,firewood and they include the stuff you put on the fire to make it change colour!) All for £10 , excellent value for money.Great base for exploring the area.

Negativ Not being able to stay longer!

Positiv Flat pitches, well kept grass. Friendly site with kind welcome and always friendly chats with hosts Abby and Paul who are knowledgeable about the local area. Easy to get around and short drive to shops. Fridge on site was really handy for keeping food in and also froze our ice blocks by putting them at the back which was good. Washing up area was good. Basic but relaxed and nice atmosphere to the site. Space to kick a football about or play catch. Toilets and showers always clean and well kept.

These are neither positive or negative points more an FYI -
- The field is near a train line so you will hear trains go by but we didn't mind this at all
- There is no shop or reception on site, the owners are always around though and checked in on us
- Pitches are marked out despite the listing saything they're not. We found our first pitch a bit small and didn't like being right next to someone else and in the middle of the field so we moved pitch to back onto the hedge which we preferred. It was busier at the weekend then very quiet and spread out during the week.
- Only 2 showers and 3 toilets, I never had to queue or wait though.

Negativ The showers are not very good, weak spray from shower head and having to press the button to keep it on is a pain. Getting the right temperature is tricky and can get very hot, children needed help. The water gathered in the mens shower rather than draining away. Lots of ants in the field which may be usual for this time of year but not something we've experienced before. Kept at bay by sweeping them out and making sure all food items were kept in tupperware boxes.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your review we are loved having you and your boys stay with us.

Thank you on the feedback on the showers we have had a maintenance period on the showers so hopefully have sorted a few if not all of the issues you have given here now. I've also acquired some children / dog friendly pesticide so will be spraying the trees and associated pitch areas to hopefully sort the ants out too.

Hope you have a great summer holiday of adventures.

Positiv Great location, lovely hosts.
Good that you get to choose your own pitch. Very clean - thank you.
Didn’t use WiFi so can’t comment.

Negativ In busy periods there isn’t enough showers or toilets. Marking down purely for the showers being more like a spray (we camp alot and sadly these are the worse showers)
