Excellent site ,beautiful grounds , lovely staff ,clean facilities
Power optional grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked The grounds and castle are beautiful and very peaceful
Staff are welcoming and polite
It has good size pitches with easy hook up for electric
The women's showers are spacious and easy to use however a shower curtain would be nice as the water reaches the seat part where you place clothes . The men's showers were adequate
Toilets and showers were clean at all times and stocked with toilet paper. Needed some more hand-wash and hand towels though but it had a hand dryer just towels would be good for those with sensory issues.
One note would be to maybe add a baby change in the mens toilets or make the disabled toilets more accessible by asking if a key was needed at the start of the trip during check in.
Dish washing area was clean and spacious, which was great and had no restrictions on times so made washing up easy ,as there was no time limit on when we could do it
The dryer was an absolute life saver with the wet weather
I would maybe add a machine to get change from or a cash point as not alot of people carry cash anymore and the dryer , washer and most things are coin operated. Or maybe add a contact less payment to the machines ?
The grounds were well lit and and tidy.
The restaurant served great food that was fresh and served by absolutely lovely staff , and the music on the Saturday was great! We didn't even need to leave our tent to enjoy the music
The park is great for the children to play on, could do with a little bit if an upgrade but the kids loved it
Disliked That the dryer and washer are coin-operated ( most don't carry cash anymore)
That there is no baby change in the mens toilets .

Liked Well maintained relaxed site. Beautiful woodland walks in mature woodland.
Pre-paid electricity top-up cards are a great idea - you only pay for what you use.

Liked The bar and restuarant facilities on site as well as some lovely walks in the immediate vicinity. Having the castle there made for a spectacular backdrop of the place. The ladies showers were amazing, location as well as the shower experiance.
Disliked some of the toilet doors didn't lock and not all the washbasins had a soap dispenser

Nice site - need more showers closer to pitches
Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Nice grounds, great walks nearby, friendly and helpful staff. Good takeaway pizzas. The staff were quick to help out when we had problems with the electricity cards.
Disliked The ladies showers were very good; clean, spacious and up to date. My husband said the gents facilities weren't of the same standard. There is only one shower block for a VERY large site - and it was a long way from most pitches - although toilet blocks are sited nearer. We were initially allocated a very steeply sloping pitch (still not level despite using our chocks) but the staff kindly moved us when we asked.

a pleasant stay
Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked The site was picturesque and spacious, good solid pitches and access to site was good. A nice bar and good quality, staff were extremely friendly.
Disliked Not disliked - just observations that can be improved upon.
Signage is not brilliant, electricity credit at pitch not obvious when booking, toilets and showers a little tired.
