From the manager: Thanks for your 7/10 review. We're really pleased to hear you enjoyed our location, found the facilities clean, liked Ben's Bar and eating area, and that our team made you feel welcome. It's great to know you'll be returning.

Thank you also for your private feedback. We investigated the two hand dryers and found that a trip switch had operated in the main electrical board. This has now been reset, and both hand dryers are working correctly again.

We also checked the hot water system and found no faults. The water temperature can be adjusted manually by guests within each private bathroom, so it's possible the control had not been turned fully to the hot position.

We appreciate you bringing these points to our attention and look forward to welcoming you back to Pinecones soon.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Liked Very well kept, secure site. Facilities are excellent, you even get piped radio in the shower and toilet cubicles, which are all individually divided. Great playpark for the kids and an off lead run for the dogs. Friendly staff with an on site shop, bar and food service. Didn't notice the traffic on the nearby bypass at all. will definitely return.

Disliked Nothing!

From the manager: Thank you so much for your fantastic review. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the care we put into maintaining the site and keeping it secure.

It's wonderful to know you enjoyed our private bathroom facilities (and the music!), the play area, the off-lead dog run, and Ben's Bar with its food service. We're also pleased our team made you feel welcome and that the on-site shop added to your stay.

We're especially pleased to hear that the nearby bypass didn't affect your visit, as many guests find it's much quieter than they expect.

Thank you again for your kind comments. We really appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you back to Pinecones for another great stay soon

Liked The weather and the refund I received

Disliked Arrived to find that the 'grass and sand' pitch was actually gravel and compacted mud, full refund given when this was pointed out but the family holiday was thrown in the air!

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the weather and appreciated the refund we provided.

The exceptionally dry conditions this summer have unfortunately had a significant impact on grass across the UK. In fact, this has been reported as the driest period since records began in many areas, and the prolonged lack of rainfall has resulted in grass becoming completely brown, with the sandy soil beneath becoming exposed. Unfortunately, these are conditions that are entirely beyond our control.

The description for this pitch type does explain that some of our grass pitches include areas of green granite. This is intentionally installed to help reduce wear during busy periods while still allowing tents to be pitched. Under normal weather conditions it is very effective, but in such unprecedented drought conditions it is simply impossible to preserve the grass to the standard you were expecting.

Although we don't feel it would have been possible for any campsite to maintain a green grass surface in these extreme conditions, we were happy to provide you with a full refund as a gesture of goodwill. We're sorry that your holiday plans were disrupted and hope you were able to find suitable alternative accommodation.
