Liked: The staff were welcoming and friendly. Good amenities. The shop supplied good stock and the staff were lovely. The pizza van was a nice touch and the park was brilliant. We especially loved seeing the pigs and horses.
Disliked: Loud music on the first night.

From the manager: Thankyou for your lovely review, unfortunately the music was coming from a festival around 5 miles from site that neither us or the local villages knew nothing about, we did report it and subsequently have filed a complaint with our local council, as have lots of upset locals, we have a no music policy normally after 10.30pm ! Hopefully we will see you again.
Lovely site, clean, friendly

Liked: The kids park - our kids was loving the freedom, animals were so cool!, Multiple toilet amd shower facilities - always were clean. The little shop was great and friendlies from staff/owners was superb.
Disliked: Not the owners fault but the noise coming from the festival, it was extremely loud both nights we stayed there. It went on until 4am both nights and music was banging from lunch time onwards each day! Maybe owner could warn campers on their FB page or website that there might be a disruptions and not peaceful night. Again not the sites or owners fault- drunken people ruined the stay for few people. Security didn't turn up for quite some time, which was disappointing.

From the manager: Hi, Thankyou for your review. Unfortunately we had no idea this festival was taking place, there had been nothing advertised to local business's or surrounding villages. We contacted the police on Friday night who advised that due to this being a licensed event till 3am there was nothing they could do and to contact environmental health which we tried to do but no one available till Monday morning. Please note that this matter will be taken up with them today as are lots of local residents and can only apologise, although it was completely out of our hands. The other matter was a rare case of a stupid drunken idiot who decided to start an argument with his wife, security, my husband and another amazing camper did step in and sort this out as quick as possible and subsequently the man was removed from site, and again we can only apologise but know we did our best in the circumstances. Hope we will see you again and thanks for staying with us.
Would definitely come again, excellent site

Liked: Lovely site in the middle of nowhere. Clean toilets and showers. Just a short walk from a brewery that opens its doors on a weekend selling beers and ciders.
Disliked: Right, I've read some of the reviews and seen some of the managers replies to the ones he/she doesn't like. No doubt I'll get a reply to this. This site is an accident waiting to happen. The 6 meters apart rule goes right out of the window. Tents were pitched right next to each other. So close the fabric was literally touching. Ok, so these people were probably all friends. Should that mean they can risk people's lives? We were in a campervan, pulled up and left plenty of room between us and the next tent. We went out on the Saturday to find someone had wedged a huge tent in between us. For a site that allows and hires out fire pits this is so dangerous. If one tent had caught fire pretty much the whole site would have gone up. They were all that close together. Something needs to be done before someone gets seriously hurt or worse.
