Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi Claire, thanks for the review. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your visit with us and we look forward to seeing you again sometime, apologies about the moaning!! Kate

Positiv Toilet and showers are a bonus to booking ( wish people weren’t so disgusting and kept them clean) Very large pitches are great. We liked it that much we extended our booking by 5 days. The location to explore Scottish attractions is great.

Negativ Unfortunately, the power went out twice during our additional days and there’s no number given to call out of hours. So we were left with no choice but to disturb the neighbours to Paxton house and ask them to contact the trustees to get someone to fix. There needs to be a number for people to call out of hours when things like this happen. Children’s park is extremely overgrown and needs the nettles removed to ensure it’s safe for children.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your feedback. Thankfully the power stayed on after our on-site warden reset it the second time. Unfortunately we are reliant on customers ensuring their cables and appliances are fully operational and in good condition as we cannot identify which pitch is causing it the system trip. We apologise that you were unable to reach our duty manager. The phone number is provided on your booking confirmation and displayed on the Site Map as you drive into the Walled Garden. It would transpire that this is not currently diverting to the duty mobile, which we are trying to rectify today. We hope that your stay was peaceful otherwise

Positiv Peaceful! Pitches are level, everything is clean. Owner is so friendly, he even helped me reverse my caravan onto pitch as we are first time caravaners. Rebooking for September.

Positiv The dogs and our own company

Negativ Disgusting toilet, no maintenance, all overgrown, no real welcome, lack of power due to tripping plus not a standard camping plug on the tree (standard 3 pin like home), no one on site for days, definitely not the experience we expected.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Toilet was cleaned at beginning of week - only booking that week apart from one night was this family and friends pitches and I had to work away for three evenings. Toilet rolls ran out on last day and were replaced on my return. This was two families and difficult to predict the amount that was used. On return inspection of toilet showed it was clean - bin was emptied as is normal and hand sanitizer replaced and a.standard clean carried out. Site has two caravan type adaptors and two normal plug connectors - adaptors are supplied for both and were provided in this instance. This gives campers an option of both plug types. Electric will trip out if used over 6 amps which is standard for camping style equipment - not suitable for heaters or none camping kettles etc - site has been open since March and no other campers have had any issues. Site does not provide entertainment - is as advertised a 2 acre field and orchard area - grass is long this time of year with mown areas for pitches . Orchard area was mown the day before their arrival. Dogs do not bark at pigs but will bark at other animals and intruders - Pigs smell at close proximity - pitches used were the two closest to the pig pen and dog run, There are pitches on other side of orchard which were empty. Value for money - a basic pitch is £12 per tent - facilities are limited as clearly stated on advert. We have two acres and 8 pitches max so plenty of space for pitches and we have excellent reviews from people using it as stop over or short break. Review on wifi- there is no wifi supplied as advertised. Chickens were on site in past but unfortunately a minority of campers allowed their children to chase them around as if they were toys and a decision was made for the birds welfare not to have free range birds - we do plan to build a secure pen and house some in the future. This is a pitch up site not a holiday park and is accurately described on pitch up with accompanying photos ,

Positiv Not much,

Negativ Unfortunately this was a disaster of a stay. Previously stayed at this site twice so this time we brought our friends but it’s clear the site is not being maintained. We left early and won’t be going back again. Power kept going off, not standard camping power adapter, no toilet roll in toilet, toilet dirty and clearly not been cleaned in a while, all over grown, noisy pigs that keep you up all night, pigs kept disturbing the dogs on the site (which have previously been no problem at all) with their squeaking and then set them off barking, previously there where chickens and ducks but other than two very noisy and smelling pigs theres no other animals, very disappointing as previous breaks here have been incredibly.

Positiv Toilets and showers spotless, friendly guy running the site, clean, level pitches, quiet site. Only 15 minute drive from Alton towers and 10 minutes from monkey forrest

Negativ The toilets are a little far away from the pitches for disabled guests, especially in a morning when a certain disability requires the toilets as soon as we wake up.
