The Old School Campsite

Μου άρεσε: Very clear directions from the road how to get there. Very warm, homely and cozy Monti caravan. No problem contacting the owners, plenty of activities for children. Beautifully kept grass, many toilets, showers and sinks.

Δεν μου άρεσε: No WiFi coverage and that's a big no no for us. The owner says that we can catch WiFi closer to the family home however, I would expect WiFi for this price.

Μου άρεσε: On arriving we found a petit site with a mix of glamping tents and pitches. Pitches were a good size. The site is situated in Shropshire near the Welsh border and offered activities and crafting which we did not know about until we arrived. The campsite has little night lights which allowed you to see the stars at night.

Δεν μου άρεσε: Unfortunately we did not have any phone signal being so remote so we had to rely on the site limited Wi-Fi to keep in contact with family. The pitch was next to a road but did not cause us to much trouble. The showers were available for 50p and unfortunately the washing up facilities lacked hot water which was a pain when your trying to wash up.

Μου άρεσε: We wanted to be near friends so the location was perfect. It was quiet and the pitch sizes were fab. The countryside around here is beautiful and this is well placed for exploring it all. It was clean and well kept.

Δεν μου άρεσε: It did feel a little like camping in someone's garden. I could see the pitches through the hedge and they looked much more like our kind of camping, this is just personal preference though. It was a shame we weren't able to book any of the activities. Possibly a little more expensive than we would usually pay for what is available.

Μου άρεσε: The campsite was well maintained, surrounded by beautiful scenery in a quiet location. The facilities were close by and high quality, heated in the evenings. The owners were away, but their father was attentive and helpful. The kids enjoyed free rein and making friends with the owners children too.

Δεν μου άρεσε: Sadly, due to the owners being away all the outdoor activities, crafting, shop and more; that had drawn us to the campsite, were not running. This put a dampener on the stay, as the children were looking forward to certain activities. The laundry facilities were also closed, therefore we cannot comment on their quality. There was dog poo left on our pitch from previous campers, which we had to clear up.

Μου άρεσε: We arrived and checked the notice board for any changes to our pitch number, and were greeted with a really spacious pitch. Enough for our 6 person tent, our car and room to move around. The site was clean and the amenities were all convenient. Spent a long time waiting for the shower on our first day, until I realised there were other ones we could use. We purchased some logs and snacks from the shop using a QR code. Brilliant site, and will definitely keep on our favourites’ for a return visit.

Μου άρεσε: Peaceful, scenic location. The campsite was clean and pitches were well spaced out. Facilities were accessible and suited our needs.Fresh bread in the morning was a tasty bonus.

Δεν μου άρεσε: No stool in the shower so bit tricky to get dressed with a wet floor. However this was discussed with the owner and was welcome feedback.

Μου άρεσε: Beautiful site in a great position for walks and visits to surrounding areas. Friendly owners Loved the 'tuck shop' and the fire pits and logs available for £7 per bucket of wood with firefighters Lovely walks direct from site and Rachel brought us some maps and told us where the nest walks were

Δεν μου άρεσε: Loved this site in general however a few things bothered us.... We were there from Monday to Friday and the toilets and showers were only cleaned once (that I could tell) in that time The site is right next to a very busy road and the traffic noise kept us awake every night and woke us up every morning (not the fault of the site owners but worth a mention) There is only one shower and two toilets on the site apart from 2 eco showers and 2 eco toilets (which were locked when we were there). The site wasn't full but we still had to wait for the shower and toilets a few times
