The Red Lion

Positiv Very friendly staff. Tasty food at the pub. Conveniently placed.

Negativ Fiddly codes on toilets
Lack of hand drier or paper towels

Positiv Lovely quiet site, good amenities, basic but everything we needed. Easy check in process. Lovely dinner and breakfast in the attached pub.

Negativ A couple of the evening bar staff members could have done with being a bit more cheerful! Also a bit of a shame the pub shuts at 10pm on a Saturday night.

Positiv We had a lovely weekend very quiet site very clean and very friendly

Negativ Nothing to dislike

Positiv Easy friendly check in, helpful staff, nice level pitch and a peaceful night, pub served fantastic food that was served quickly and piping hot, we went on quiz night which had a friendly and fun atmosphere, can't fault the place

Negativ Nothing

Positiv Just a small campsite behind a pub but very welcoming and the staff, food and service in the pub was fantastic.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you so much for your kind words! We're really glad you enjoyed the campsite and had such a great experience with our team, food, and service. It was a pleasure having you, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!

Positiv Friendly staff, good sized pitches, clean and tidy. Pub had good value selection of food.

Negativ Showers need a place to hang more items for changing, need to do swaps for breakfast e.g. couldn’t swap beans for toast.

Positiv Flat and level. Pitches were allocated and the check-in was great!

Negativ You're allocated a pitch but none are marked! Cue loads of map and plan twirling and much confusion about where I was supposed to camp... Lovely chap spotted me and directed me in the end.

Showers are poor. You have to walk over a stony area to reach them and this all ends up on the shower floor. No duck board to stand on so the floor can't be kept clean. The lighting didn't work, which is unsafe and inconvenient. The enclosure doors were broken and hanging off so a lot of water ends up outside of the shower!

There's no provision for hand drying in the toilet either...

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your detailed feedback—it’s really helpful. We’re sorry to hear about the confusion with pitch markings and the issues you experienced with the shower and toilet facilities. Your comments about the lighting, cleanliness, and hand drying provision have been noted, and we’ll be looking into improvements.

Positiv Stayed here as a base for tankfest.
It’s local and only a few minutes drive away.
We had a grass pitch with electric hook up, it was a spacious pitch and close to all amenities, check in took minutes.
Plenty of toilets and showers (lovely warm water) cleaned regularly.
We ate breakfast and evening meals in the pub, food was delicious and at a reasonable cost.
All the staff there are brilliant accommodative and friendly, despite the Saturday evening being extremely busy,
Nothing was too much of an ask.
Very impressed with our stay at the red lion and we have already booked to return in a couple of months for a week to visit the local area.
Thank you so much for making our stay welcoming and pleasant.
We didn’t travel with children so cannot comment on that.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you had such a positive experience during Tankfest weekend. It’s great to know our team helped make your stay welcoming. We truly appreciate your kind words and are thrilled you've already booked to come back.

Positiv Good location, close to the pub

Negativ The facilities were not cleaned daily.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the convenient location close to the pub. We’re sorry to hear that the facilities didn’t meet your expectations in terms of cleaning and will take your comments on board to improve.

Positiv Nice little campsite for a nights stop over

Negativ Showers and toilet's are coded with is a pain and we’re not very pleasant. Went in the pub for a meal. Pretty sure we were the second table to order. After 55 minutes they came over to say they ran out of sausage and mash for my 2 year old, was told the replacement we chose would take 10 minutes. After a further 25 minutes the food arrived ( we’re not told upon ordering there would be a wait). Half way through the meal we order our child’s ice cream that should have come with the meal. A further 20 minutes it has still not arrive so we collect the bill, complaint and all we got was a measly discount. Appalling especially with a young hungry child who had to wait 1hr and 20 minutes for her dinner.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for sharing your experience. We're very sorry to hear about the delays and issues you encountered during your meal —this is certainly not the standard we aim for. We appreciate your feedback about the shower and toilet codes as well. We hope you’ll give us another chance in the future to provide a much better experience.
