Liked Location was convenient.

Disliked There is no reception on arrival or clarity of where our pre-booked pitches were located. We just had to drive around and find a space. We had requested two pitches together so it was lucky there was plenty of space. There appears to be no point in making a special request as arrival and location seem to be totally random. The “upgraded facilities” were very basic, eg toilet cubicles didn’t even have a washbasin - two washbasins were located on the outside wall under minimal cover. The grass was long and didn’t look as if it had been mown for a while, with some plastic rubbish lying around. An enormous building (which we understood was to be an activity centre) was being constructed in the middle of the site, totally ruining the rural appearance of the site. We didn’t appreciate the builders arriving before 9.00 am on the Sunday morning. We had planned to walk to a nearby pub for our evening meals (2 nights) but the road was too dangerous with only a narrow grass verge to walk on so we had to drive which rather spoilt the two evenings we were there for the driver.

From the manager: We are, as you would expect, disappointed with our back to basics site. As literature states- we are a back to basics site. That includes no set warden. We also state that we do not have marked pitches which enables you to choose your preferred spot. In the 3 acres we are currently only accepting 5 units which enables much choice. It also enables two reasonably sized areas of wild flower/grass. The building is on the edge of the area along the tree line. We are surrounded by footpaths two of which enable access to two local pubs. The Plough and The castle. The others are by road.
