What customers say
A welcoming, family-friendly site with a top playground, pub, and shop. Staff are a hit! Pitches are good. Some mention distance to facilities, minor noise/cleanliness issues (older notes), and spotty WiFi/phone signal. Most would return!

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Lovely site with everything you need. The park and the fish pond were a hit with my girls. The shop was well stocked for essentials and the bar, which had a kids party on saturday night, was fab. Will definitely go again.

Anonymous Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Great location. Nice space on field between other tents. Bar and evening entertainment was good especially if it was raining.
The bar staff and shop staff were lovely and really accommodating.
Disliked The distance to wash room / toilet facilities from camping field.
Reception/ welcome staff didn't provide any welcome information or pack. When asked if there was wifi and of the password she just replied no i don't know, the pub might have some.
But that it was important but I just felt like I had put her out.

Great location that unfortunately we won't visit again.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Our Pitch was in the field not far from the toilets and showers, the dish washing facilities and the pub.
Car parking was adjacent to the tent.
Without exception every member of staff we met was polite helpful and friendly.
Disliked Throughout our stay there was no hot water for shaving, showering or for washing dishes at best it was tepid.
On the first night the partying and loud music went on until 0230 hours in the morning. This was accompanied by numerous BBQ's and fires and individual pitches, despite instructions on check in and numerous signs this had been brought about by the extremely dry hot weather conditions and potential for outbrake of fire.
On our second night, despite having advising staff members of the first night experience it was 0430 hrs when we were able to get some sleep.
Ridiculous behaviour of other campers that isn't suitable for our family with children.
There is a warden that patrols however from the behaviours we observed and the noise we experienced its questionable what the purpose of patrolling is.

Disliked The toilet block could do with a revamp, one of the sinks was taped up and one of the soap dispensers keep falling off when using it

Great value Good amenities
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Lovely site Kids play are very close Great value The camping field is quite small but as there was only 10 tents it was great Booked again for Bank Holiday Not sure what capacity the field is Hopefully won't be too overcrowded
Disliked Toilets and showers Could do with an update but then again the price of the pitches would probably increase .

Great site
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Great facilities and very nice well kept pitch. Will definitely be returning.
Disliked Nothing to dislike. If I was being really picky, I would say that the toilet block is a little way from the tent pitches.
