Unbeliebt: We arrived here this evening and left within 30 mins , I’ve seen excellent reviews on here previously hence the booking , the chap that showed us the pitch was very helpful but I was disappointed the pitch grass was very long and untidy and he also mentioned some contractors staying in the middle that might be a bit noisy later on , we have relocated to Lyon’s Gate and to be honest it’s on another level to the previous site.
I enjoyed my stay and would go again.

Their are good views and it's centrally placed between Sherborne and Dorchester.Unbeliebt: I found the shower anxiety making as the light comes on at one end and the water automatically starts at the other end of a long room. I was anxious about how long the light would be on and if I'd need to walk the length of the room in the dark. A little information would have helped.
The road beside is a busy one, but quieter at night and didn't really bother me.
We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. Glad you liked our new toilet block, it has been a while coming but we think it was worth the wait.
we do have a friendly team here who all want everyone to have a enjoyable stay with us.
There are a few sloping areas but we try sand keep these free as a children's play area.
I am a little confused with your shower anxiety comment, all our showers have two automatic lights which come on as soon as anyone enters the shower, and remains on for several minutes after the shower is vacated. I have checked all four showers and all the light are working fine.
Look forward to seeing you again.

Unbeliebt: As others have said the road is quite noisy but it didn’t really bother me
We are so pleased you (and your dog) enjoyed your stay with us. Glad you liked our facilities, we have only recently re-opened our reburbed toilet block.
The road can be a little busy during the day, but does ease off later in the day.
Look forward to seeing you again soon.
Super friendly campsite, everyone was pleasant and respectful.

Übersetzen (Von Google Translate)Beliebt: We liked the location and the facilities. Kids enjoyed running around and our night time bbqs and fires. Very laid back and friendly atmosphere.
Unbeliebt: We were pitched on a hill, which we managed okay with but would have been easier to be flatter.
We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and the kids all had a good time.
We are very relaxed here, all we want is for everyone to have a lovely time while staying. The majority of vistors over the Bank Holiday wekend had all been here many times before, so it is always a nice atmosphere.
Next time you come, just give me a ring and I will make sure I reserve one of the level pitches for you.
Look forward to seeing you again soon.

Unbeliebt: Proximity of super loud road. We had cars passing by few meters form our pitch, separated from the campsite by a hedge and small fence only. This was not a peaceful camping experience.
I am sorry you did not enjoy your brief stay with us, if you had stayed longer than just a few hours I think you would have had time to appreciate the site.
We did go out of our way to accomodate you, you made a late booking, you arrived on site an hour after our final arrival time. As you booked so late and it being the Bank Holiday weekend I was not able to give you a pitch already booked by others, some who had booked up to a year in advance.
The road is not a main road it is only a C road, however as this is the countryside and it is harvest time there will be the odd tractor passing. There were thirteen other caravans/motorhomes parked along the hedgerow by the roadside where you were and not one of them commented on the noise of the road. The boundary is actually a row of ash trees and a hedgerow.
I hope you managed to find a quieter site, which I think would be difficult on the busy August bank Holiday weekend.
The amenities were very clean

Unbeliebt: The road is very busy didn’t stop all night
We are really sorry you didn't enjoy your couple of days with us.
I am really surprised at your 1/5 rating for the location, this is a beautiful part of the countryside with access to most parts of Dorset within an hour.
Also disapopoointed to see a 2/5 for value for money, I don't know of any other site who would give a reduced price because a member of your group didn't turn up on the day, which i did.
The road can busy during the day but is quite at night.
Exellent

We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.
We are pleased with our new toilet block, it took a bit longer than we wanted but we think it was worth the wait,
Only 30 minutes from the beaches and about an hour for anywhere else in Dorset, we are very central here.
Look forward ti seeing you again soon.

Übersetzen (Von Google Translate)Beliebt: We stayed at Giants Head campsite because we were walking the Wessex Ridgeway with a relative and we were all so glad that we did. It could not have been a better location for this walk because the Wessex Ridgeway passes behind the campsite and I'm sure it would be a superb base for many other places to walk in Dorset. We had a lovely welcome from the owner Caroline who was always around the site if we needed to ask her any questions. Considering the site was packed and it was the middle of the school holidays, the site was clean, well organized and relatively quiet. Caroline kindly helped us to complete the final section of our weekend's walking by helping us with parking and we were extremely grateful for that. Prices were very competitive, the welcome pack was very informative, the showers were excellent and we were amazed with the phone and internet signal. One tip: Ask for a pitch closer to the entrance if you want a flat pitch.
Unbeliebt: No complaints. We really enjoyed our stay.

Übersetzen (Von Google Translate)Beliebt: The campsite owner kept a good eye on the site so everyone was well behaved and there was a very friendly atmosphere. The toilets and showers were always kept very clean, despite the site being busy at the height of the season. Lovely surroundings and good walks could be had from the site.
Unbeliebt: –
We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. We do have a really friendly group, most who have stayed here many times over the years, they were really happy to help with your new tent !!
We are pleased to say that out temporary toilet block has now gone and our lovely new toilet block is open, just need a few final touch ups.
We are lucky to be in such a lovely polace with lots of great walks.
Look forward to seeing you all again very soon.
This is my second reply to another of your reviews:-
You did mention when you checked in that you had only just bought your campervan and this was your very first trip.
I am sorry the grass is a little long , unfortunately we have not been able to mow the grass because of the wet weather, our mowers do not cut grass very well in the wet.
I think you may have misheard my son, who checked you in, there are a few caravans on site which belong to contractors but as they are not here on site at the moment I'm not sure how they would have been noisy.
I hope you liked Lyons Gate, my friends run this site and it is lovely.
