The Old Vicarage

Liked The surroundings, grounds and children’s play area over the water.
The BBQ provided for a small extra fee, the staff and the bar.

Disliked Facilities are the only thing that let the site down for us. Showers not draining, really hard to move around in the toilet/showers block. Floor was sopping wet all the time and I didn’t see anyone cleaning them whilst we were there over the weekend. Only two female showers for whole site.

Liked The site and stream were absolutely beautiful.
Strict rules for guests to keep it safe for children.

Disliked On our visit there was one tent of adults near us. They had loud music and a Staffordshire Bull Terrier which was off lead a lot of the time. Nothing was done about this until the dog attacked a chicken in front of children. They were told by staff to remove the dog, which they did, however they then got friends round, started smoking cannabis and more loud music and shouting until 2am. Really spoilt the ambience and family nature of the site.

Also need more toilets 2 men’s, 2 female and 1 disabled was not enough for the busy weekend.

Liked Very nice campsite fantastic stream rounding through the middle of the site where kinds play all day plenty of electric hookups for your appliances showers and toilets as standard what you would expect. Nice campsite owners witch will answer any questions. Way off the main road so know need to worry about your kids.
I would personally recommend this site if you have children and you don't mind the noise that children make

Disliked I think the washing fertilitys could be updated

Liked Great views, peaceful and calm environment. Pitching near the river is gorgeous. River is great for young children as this isn't deep.

Disliked Administration is poor, toilets, showers were filthy and kitchen was really dirty as well, with the sinks blocked.

The people at reception didn't offer much help. We rarely saw anyone there. Lots of rubbish on the ground right at the entrance of the campsite, as bins were full. And it seemed that they were more concerned about the supposed wedding they are going to have over the weekend than actually maintaining the facilities.

From the manager: Hi Pedro.
Thanks for your review!
The toilets and showers and washing up area were cleaned twice per day. We do have signs up stating to leave the toilets in the way you wish to find them, unfortunately our staff cannot be in the toilets cleaning them 4,5,6 times per day.
We do not have a wedding this weekend?
If you had a problem you should have come to speak to us.

Liked The brook onsite was truly brilliant for the children to play and splash around in. All the facilities were within a small
Area too, which really helped.just a short walk away is a lovely park with lots of activities for children.

Disliked The cleanliness of the toilets, and space within. These were cleaned at 11.00am, but owing to some grotty individuals leaving crap around the toilet bowel and seat, these need checking and cleaning more regularly. On arrival, reception clearly marked but no one was initially available, so a queue was forming. The room behind reception looked chaotic and a mess, which fitted in to the overall view and opinion that it’s a bit disorganised. The waste area was overflowing with bags and rubbish which doesn’t help the initial view upon arrival. We were told that the electricity supply can only handle small amounts, which made our electric grill redundant. Had we known in advance we would opted for a different site (granted we may have missed the small print). The cave bar was open, but initially no
One to serve, and again boxes and packages left on view which again makes the site appear disorganised.

Liked The campsite was beautiful. The river running through the site was a huge hit with the kids. The staff were all super helpful especially Sophie. We loved the bar where they held a quiz and bingo and the duck race was lots of fun.

Disliked The shower facilities could have been better and an extra washing up station would be welcomed but we managed fine with the facilities there were.

Liked Location, easy to get to
Cave bar was lovely and activities organised over the bank holiday weekend

Disliked Fluctuations in the temperature of the hot water
Uneven site meant big puddles after rainfall
I felt it was overcrowded over the bank holiday weekend as parking was often difficult within the carparking area
