Liked: Lovely little campsite, not too big, cafe on site, plenty to do around too but also nice and peaceful. These small sites are much friendlier than large ones and always better value

Nice enough but the washing facilities seemed to lack a bit of thought

Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite (water hook-up)
Liked: Plenty to do on site, the café was a nice touch and the burgers were excellent. Nice to see some animal life on site, not everyones cup of tea but children love it, as they did the play area.
Disliked: The washing facilities seemed a bit haphazard. Certainly clean enough but only 1 dedicated shower each for M & F with others opening straight out on to common areas. Only one handwashing facility for 3 toilets and a urinal in the mens area which was suboptimal and no means of drying hands outside the one shower room.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: You must have missed our separate indoor shower facilities which have two men's and two ladies showers. The numbers of showers, toilets and wash hand basins are such that queues don't usually develop. In the ladies there are two sinks for 4 toilets. Our facilities are basic and we do not advertise otherwise
Stay was fine

Powered grass campsite (water hook-up)
Liked: It was quiet which was very important to us. The play area was a hit with the children as were the animals especially the chickens. Fire pits were a plus and the sunsets were beautiful. Staff also seemed friendly.
Disliked: I didn’t realise the obstacle course etc were ran by a different company. It was really expensive so we didn’t bother. The gym was also a reason I booked but seemed a right faff with getting a fob so also didn’t bother. The camp is tired, facilities were a little too ‘rustic’ for my liking but that’s personal taste, they seemed clean enough. I couldn’t work out why they pitched everyone so close to each other when there was so much space? Seemed a little odd to me, I’d have spread everyone out a little to give more space.

From the manager: Thanks for the review - I hope the following will help future guests. The assault course is a business next door to us, very popular with guests and with a 10% discount for campers if you ask reception for discount codes for this and for other activities . The gym is a full members gym which has a fob entry system so this needs to be arranged. It is just a case of calling the gym manager who will arrange. I offered to get the manager to drop by the pitch for this guest but they refused and advised of the phone number which they decided not to use. Other campers at the same time accessed the gym with no problem. We are rustic and some of our facilities are tired, we keep them clean and there is plenty of hot water. Don't come here expecting shiny new facilities. We update as we can. Our pitches are some of the biggest you will find, but spacing can be down to bookings around your booking in the diary. It just so happened that the type of pitch booked by this guest was well booked out and other types were not. We do when possible make changes to give everyone more space and you are always welcome to speak to us on arrival about where you are sited. It is not always possible during school holidays to make easy changes.

Powered grass campsite
Liked: Nice little site with a playground and football pitch within eyesight (shouting distance). Rabbits, chickens and guinea pigs were entertaining for the kids (8 and 5) Conveniently located cafe, for pizza, chips etc. Decent prices. Adequate number of showers and toilets in good condition.
Disliked: From description I thought there was an assault course on site, which appeared to be a paid activity next door? (In all honesty I didn't venture to find out)
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: The assault course is ThePlaygroundUK right next door to us divided by a fence and bookable with a discount of 10% for campers.
Excellent site, clean facilities. Would definitely recommend

Liked: This site is very good. Clean facilities and flat pitches. The play park and football field are perfect for keeping kids entertained. They have free roaming chickens and some rabbits and guinea pigs. The owner kindly allowed my children to pet the guinea pigs and they absolutely loved it. Campfires are permitted and you can buy wood onsite. There is also a very good and reasonably priced cafe on site. My family had a wonderful time.
