Escapade fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked: Warm toilet block and showers with plenty of hot water and space. Pitches quite large and well marked out. Good facilities for washing up, laundry etc.
The very warm and friendly welcome from Rachel, who was extremely helpful. She stayed on to sort out our booking even though she had finished her shift. 👍
Disliked: The very long trek uphill to check in at reception. Not good if you have mobility issues. Only WiFi is in the club house at reception.
This is a very crammed site with lots of touring pitches in complete shade of trees.
It's also quite a windy site. Ok for a 1 night stop over, but would not stay again.

From the manager: Thank you for reviewing your stay at Tarn House Holiday Park. We're delighted to hear that you appreciated the service from Rachel, and that you found the pitches large and well marked out. :)
Excellent site, staff friendly and first class facilities.

Camping pod
Liked: Lovely peaceful site, great facilities, nice clean toilet shower block right opposite camping pod, beautiful bar/restaurant in the country house at the top of the site serving delicious pizzas & good selection of beers & offers on spirits. All the staff in the bar & reception were super friendly & made us feel very welcome & plenty of play areas for the kids.
The camping pod was lovely & cosy painted in dark blue with Moroccan style lamp shades & fabrics. No.31, Tea & coffee facilities provided, storage unit for clothes & tv with freeview box, the bed was a small double but perfectly comfy with plenty pillows & warm duvet plus bed throw.
Not mentioned in the description but there is also a small fridge in the pod enough to keep milk, a few drinks & a small amount of food in. We took our own camping fridge but probably wouldnt have bothered had we known.
On the small porch area was a small garden table & 2 chairs. There is plenty of grass area around the pods to put more comfy camping chairs on if you take your own.
All told we really enjoyed the site & surrounding area & would definitely return maybe try out a caravan or chalet next time .
Disliked: Nothing really to dislike but just a little thing that made us smile was the clean bedding was left in a pack on the bed ready for us to make our own bed 😊.

Escapade fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked: The facilities (very comfortable bathroom facilities and a laundry room), the environment was very peaceful, the on-site shop was handy and the on-site restaurant/bar served VERY good food. It was child-friendly, but in a well-behaved way - not like some campsites we've visited. We'll definitely be back.
Disliked: Nothing.
