Liked Everything - fantastic, welcoming and friendly site. Pitches are exceptional best we have stayed on. Play area brilliant for our little one and a lovely little dog walk to stretch the dogs legs. Access to shallow river a real
Bonus to keep little one occupied. We left the night before we were due to simply down to the weather which is out of anyone’s control, but even with the showers on and off and thundery weather we still managed to enjoy the sites offerings between showers. Can’t wait to come back !!
Disliked Absolutely nothing

Disliked We have stayed here many times as a couple with our dogs, last time was just under two years ago . Always enjoyed the site. This time, with our young child (16 months) it just did not have the same feel about it anymore. The first day, 3 hours after arriving, walking along the public footpath our dogs on leads were set upon by the owners black dog with no collar or lead on roaming the footpath. My husband had to shout at it quite aggressively before it backed off all whilst carrying our little boy on his backpack. I was very shaky after this. Fair enough, after calling, the husband came over to find us and apologise and said he would keep the dog locked up this weekend and advised us to “whack it” if we see it again, we were not comfortable to hit any dog, let alone someone else’s. 2 days passed, all ok, but we kept our dogs in their cage nonetheless as we had been quite worried by it all. We heard our dogs barking in the boot of the car in their cage, only to find the same black dog standing on the tail gate having a go at them!! Husband shouted again and it ran off luckily for the other guests with dogs so it didn’t approach them, it left the field via the bin area, at the edge of the touring field, where it squatted and did a poo. No owners in sight anywhere . Complained again to which we were told the husband was walking it ? No one was there, the dog ran off into the opposite field until it was a pinprick in the distance, definitely no one walking it. On top of that, if they were, why didn’t they pick up the dog poo off the touring field where young children are walking and could fall over into it? On the last night of our stay, we had our dogs caged in their awning again, thankfully!!! As suddenly a big black Staffordshire bull terrier appeared by my camping chair directly outside our awning where my little boy was playing!!! About 2 feet away from him. No lead, no collar - was with a family on another pitch. They came walking by just after to take their takeaway pizza to the benches and here they proceeded to keep the dog off the lead. There are absolutely no rules on this site anymore, there was dog poo on the paths all around the touring field. Children running wild in the stream which is really quite deep with a fast current, no parents watching them. No one from the house opposite checks the site or enforces the site rules. It’s a free for all and an accident waiting to happen. So disappointed to say we will not be staying here again as it used to be a lovely site. Not safe for young children with the dog mess and also so many dogs, ‘dangerously out of control’ - on public footpaths as well as for paying guests. Our first trip away in our caravan with our little boy was a disaster, we could not relax and our dogs spent the entire stay caged for their own safety. We did not appreciate the lies about the dog being walked - this makes it even worse after being promised by said husband that the dog would be locked up in a kennel from now on because they’ve been told numerous times that “ it is not a nice dog”

From the manager: Sorry you were disappointed with your stay on a busy Easter weekend with families staying with children and dogs all enjoying our site. We apologised for our dogs appearance on the site and he remained in his kennel apart for been walked for the remainder of the weekend. If you have issues with other guests children or dogs I suggest you address this with them??? I was on site twice and emptying bins/cleaning the toilet and saw no issues apart from guests having fun! This is a working farm, the tracks are for cows not dog walkers hence the cow muck you are confusing with dog poo! Simple solution is we stop everyone from bringing dogs. Which penalises everyone inc yourselves???
