From the manager: Hi Lauren,

Thanks for the great review!

We hope to see you again soon. ^SR

Liked The evening entertainment is great for children.

Disliked The site was overpopulated, pitches for caravans where far to small, with far more people using the area than it was designed to accommodate. As a result, the grounds and facilities are showing clear signs of neglect and poor maintenance. Overflowing waste, damaged infrastructure, toilets and shower blocks dirty and lack of regular upkeep have negatively impacted both the appearance and overall experience of the site.

Liked Beautiful pitch’s, lots for the children to do all of which (except the pools) are an extra expense. Friendly staff.

Disliked No hot water in the showers or to wash up. Toilets and showers un-clean one of the toilet blocks had waste coming back up the toilet and covering the floor.
Bins overflowing.
Multiple signs saying “ no e bikes/ scooters” yet no one in-forcing this.

Liked I was with my family, pitch was under a tree so had extra shade

Disliked Everything has gone downhill, been here multiple times. It was dirty in toilets, they were blocked and cold showers. Other people there were partying and singing loudly at 3am, and nothing was done to stop them. Had to book everything, huge queues. Will not be returning

From the manager: Hi Nick,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback following your recent stay. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the overall layout of the park and found the site lovely.

We’re very sorry to hear that several aspects of your visit did not meet expectations. We appreciate your honest comments regarding the food quality, drink pricing, and your experience with the swimming pool facilities. We understand how disappointing it must have been to queue for a long period and still be unable to access the pool, especially during a family break.

Your additional feedback regarding session management, maintenance of the roads and pitches, and the condition of some areas around the park has also been noted and will be shared with the relevant teams for review. Guest feedback is extremely important in helping us identify where improvements are needed.

Thank you again for your comments, and we do hope you may consider staying with us again in the future. ^EC

Liked The showers were good, the chicken take away was good value and the arcade was good

Disliked The outside pool wasn’t open all day, and when it was you couldn’t get in as everyone wanted to use it, the fish and chip takeaway was a rip off for 3 cod and 3 half a dozen chips came to £45.00 their portions were terrible!
There were big rats running around the touring area!
It was too busy, With a lot of parents letting their very young kids just run riot, looked like out of sight out of mind, even while moving of the site the kids were running in the way, didn’t see any security anywhere

From the manager: Hi Annelie,

We're sorry to hear that you're disappointed with your experience.

We would really appreciate it if you could provide us with more details about your feedback so that we can understand how to improve. Please feel free to reach out to us. Thank you! ^JC

Liked A great welcome from all the staff. Great sized pitch, loved the fact there was hedges either side. Wonderful park, had great fun playing crazy golf & the 2p machines in the amusement arcade. The showers & toilets were spotlessly clean no matter what time you use them. Plenty of hot water. Good food at the on site restaurant.

Disliked A hedge along the rear of the pitch would be better. We didnt like the "vacate the pitch by 10am" why so early especially as the next person cant arrive until 2pm.
