Vom Platzbetreiber: Dear Jim,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a thoughtful review!

We're absolutely delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay – especially your kind words about our washrooms and that you found the river perfect for the kids and dogs to have a safe splash around. It’s also great to know that the pitch met your expectations – we work hard to keep them clean, flat and well-maintained.

We did want to thank you as well for mentioning the road noise. Just to clarify for future guests, the brief increase in noise was actually due to a local rally event that passed nearby. It only lasted around five minutes, and isn't a regular occurrence – but we understand how even a short bit of unexpected noise can catch you by surprise when you're enjoying the peace and quiet of the countryside.

Thanks again for choosing to stay with us – we hope to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing visit (rally-free next time!).

Positiv Nice level pitch with water and grey waste facilities. The washroom was beautiful, pristine and warm. Three shower units with WC and one without.

Negativ I couldn't use the showers because there was no grab rail and the floor was slippery when wet. I need a seat and could have used the WC but I noticed that there wasn't a seat in the unit without WC.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Dear Maureen,

Thank you for your review.

We're pleased you enjoyed the peaceful pitch, water and waste facilities, and particularly the clean, warm washrooms — something we work hard to maintain.

That said, we feel it’s important to clarify a few points. Our facilities are not advertised as having grab rails nor do we claim to provide shower seats. While we understand that these features are important for some guests, it’s disappointing to be marked down for something we’ve never stated we offer, saying that we are always happy to help where we can, but it’s important that expectations are based on what’s actually provided. It may have been a good idea to talk to us first to see if we could have provided you with a stool. I would also like to clarify that our floor is non slip. At no time was it every slippery. Have you reviewed the wrong park?

Thank you again for your feedback — we’re always looking to improve where and if possible.
Kind regards

Angie Lindsey and Max.

Positiv Great facilities, really clean and well looked after. Beautiful site with the river running through, great for dog walks

Negativ Noisy people on one of the longer standing caravans on the first night, shouting continued until 2am when the rain started. I’d stay again but this did ruin the first night.

We truly value your feedback and are pleased to hear you'd consider staying with us again. We look forward to welcoming you back for a more peaceful and enjoyable experience.

Positiv Nice location with pitchs close to the river. Secure dog waking area on the other side of the water. The showers, toilets, wash up area etc. are amazing, probably the best I've seen! Very well cleaned.

Lovely team who ate very approachable!

Pitch had water, EHU and grey water disposal drain.

Negativ There is a pub/hotel at the top of the hill. We went up for a drink and the beer was bad. I have worked in pubs and its probably uncleaned pipes. Not linked

Positiv I'm a 66 y/o solo female traveller with dog, in a camper style motorhome. I stayed for 3 nights at Riverbend at the early part of June 2025, and loved it. The site has a static van area, a seasonal pitches area, and a tourer area. The tourer area accommodates caravans, motorhomes, campervans and tent campers. The area I was in has recently (last 2 years maybe) had young privacy hedges planted and the pitches will be super when they are a little more filled out. Each pitch also had a picnic bench which had a flower decoration on it.
I didnt use the conveniences because my motorhome camper is pretty much self sufficient, but I went in and had a look and it's all absolutely lovely. The area for all the waste things is well set out, and the bins are clearly marked.
The river was probably higher than normal due to the recent rain and it was quite fast flowing, too fast and deep for paddling, but I would think it's lovely when it's a bit calmer.
The café on the main road does really good food. I only had a late breakfast, which was perfectly cooked and plenty of it, but there were some very nice early lunches being served. You can go in just for tea or coffee and don't need to eat though.
Angie and her husband, the owners, run the site to a very high standard indeed. The lawn areas are kept well trimmed and the edges of the pitches and 'roads' are kept weed free. The childrens play area has a climbing frame and a soft woodchip floor.
It's a beautiful, peaceful place and I would recommend it for either a short or long stay, and as a base for exploring the area.

Negativ Would have liked a small enclosed area for dogs to have an off-lead play area - it doesn't need to be big, dogs can run in circles chasing a ball.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Dear Janice,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and detailed review – we’re absolutely delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Riverbend. It means a great deal to us to know that you found the site peaceful, well-maintained, and a comfortable base for both relaxation and exploring the area.

We’re especially pleased that you appreciated the care we put into the grounds, from the neat lawns and flower-topped picnic benches to the well-organised waste and service areas. Feedback like yours really affirms the effort we put into making the site welcoming and well cared for, and it's lovely to know that stood out to you.

Thank you also for your kind comments about Angie and her husband – they are truly dedicated to keeping Riverbend running to a high standard and ensuring guests feel at home.

Regarding your note about the dog play area – thank you for raising that. Angie did mention the off-lead dog exercise area during your stay, so it’s possible that it may have slipped your mind – which is completely understandable, especially with so much to take in. We’re really pleased to offer this space as we know how important it is for dogs to have the chance to stretch their legs and enjoy a bit of freedom.

We’re so glad to hear that you would recommend Riverbend and found it suitable for both short and longer stays. It was a pleasure to have you with us, and we’d love to welcome you back again in the future – you and your four-legged travel companion are always very welcome here.

Positiv The site is beautiful...spotlessly clean...toilet blocks immaculate...staff so chatty, helpful and friendly...set in besutiful country side...great dog walking area.

Negativ For me ....not a little village you could walk to for paper milk etc....bitc. too remote for me as once there we dont want to use van to get anywhere would rather walk.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Dear Judi,

Thank you so much for your lovely review – we're thrilled to hear you found the site beautiful and appreciated the cleanliness, facilities, and friendly atmosphere. It really means a lot to us that you took the time to share such kind words, and we’re so pleased you and your dog enjoyed the walking areas and peaceful surroundings.

We completely understand your preference for being able to walk to local amenities without needing to use your van. Just to mention – Angie did point out during your stay that there is a shop located right across the road from the park, no more than a five-minute walk away. It’s a handy little spot that stocks essentials like milk, bread, aswell as a cafe . It’s easy to miss if you’re not aware, so we thought it might be worth highlighting again for any future visits.

Thank you again for your feedback – it helps us improve and also gives future guests a great insight into what to expect. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing break in the countryside!
