Liked: The facilities were perfect. There is a large play area for children where all the children played together. The washrooms and toilets were immaculate. The staff were really friendly. Im disappointed we were so late in the season and can’t go back again until next year. A great site.

Liked: ilities were clean and comfortable.
Disliked: The attitude of a member of staff who spoke to my autistic husband so rudely! Our dog had escaped the tent, which was obviously unintentional, and scared us too! But the attitude my husband was spoken to was not at all helpful. He was obviously upset the dog had got out himself.

From the manager: Thankyou for your harsh review. We have constantly this season had people not listening to the rules and allowing their dogs off leads which causes upset for other dog owners and other campers especially when they crap in the field, and also chase my chickens, so I would hope you understand our frustration when your dog was also seen running free, but disagree he was harshly spoken too, and no need to play the autistic card thankyou.
Brilliant site for kids, with clean facilities.

Liked: Kids play area is fab. A few animals for the little ones, the chickens were really friendly! Toilets and showers were very clean although the showers are 20p per min. Good field although it is on quite a slope so you do roll a little bit off the air beds. Handy little shop too. Friendly staff.
Disliked: We stayed fri-mon and there was a BIG group of campers next to us and every single night they were extremely noisy. Quiet time is meant to start at 10:30pm but these campers clearly didn’t have any consideration for anyone else. They were shouting/laughing music on right up to around 2am on some nights. We had children with us from age 9months and they kept waking up every night due to the noise disruption. Two of the nights I did inform the campsite security who was friendly with me and did go and say “quieten down” but it did not stop the campers from bellowing. More should have been done. They did this every single night. In the end I took matters into my own hands on the final night and shouted across the campsite to shut them up at around 12:30am. The campers then decided to start laughing at me and found it hilarious and started making immature sounds. I was furious. The security should have been a lot stricter. It was appalling and he should have done more. We all had a lovely camping trip but this just put a massive downer on it knowing that every night we knew what we’d have to listen to. They should have been removed.

From the manager: Thankyou for your review. I'm sorry you experienced this awful behaviour from some other campers, unfortunately every so often we get some idiots on site as you do in every day life, who have no regard for others and security should have sorted this out for you, thats what they are there for, but if you were not happy with how he dealt with things then I really wish you had come to reception which is open 8am to 8pm and either my husband or myself would have dealt with this promptly meaning your remaining nights with us would not have ended like this. Hopefully see you in the future.
Nice stay
