Liked: Lovely friendly site. Plenty for the children to do. 3 play parks, swimming and amusements. Some lovely country walks with the dog.
Disliked: Some of the pitches are quite small. So we had to be moved as our caravan was too big

Liked: Beautiful site with loads to do. Pitch size was good, loads to do with children. Both parks were a massive hit and we felt we were able to give our daughter some freedom while there. We had some friends staying in the pods. There was loads of space to play. Club is cheesy, but everyone loved it. Will definitely return.
Disliked: Toilets and showers were dire. Felt sorry for the cleaners, they can only do so much. A couple of cubicles for a site that size is pitiful and not fit for purpose. There was a large family who left them is a state that I wouldn't put a dog in. No words! The pods have literally nothing on them, no benches, beds, nothing. So prepare yourself for that, some friends called a head and they were told there were mattresses. They're isn't. Long trip to Berwick to buy some blow up beds.

Liked: Good check in, nice area.
Disliked: Club house.We couldn't use pool as there was an issue with chlorine levels, waited till we were 5 mins away to tell us the booking they gave us had to be cancelled. Food was awful, just tasted of old fat.we were also told by staff the 2 pence machine in amusement was fixed? As I found out myself. Regular stayers seemed to think they had the right to all grassed area around their caravan, where we were there was a caravan with a huge awening taking up the whole corner we had a bit of grass next to it but when they arrived they parked their car on this grass so we had very little grass to sit on!

Liked: We have just came back from 2 nights at Riverside leisure park, we have all loved it! Everyone on the touring site that we were next to were lovely and friendly. The staff were friendly at reception and helpful. Kids enjoyed being able to play in the parks and ride their scooters around site as well as going over to the arcades and night time entertainment. Would 100% go back wish we'd booked extra nights!
Disliked: Only complaint I have is the swimming pool wasn't open but this was due to high chlorine in the pool.

Liked: Very friendly staff, after having some issues with our van the receptionist was extremely helpful and told us not to worry about our caravan as we had to get it recovered. There was also a man who worked in the grounds he was also extremely friendly and helpful he cheered up my little ones whilst we waited for recovery and couldn’t help us enough. Unfortunately I didn’t get his name but really appreciate how friendly and willing he was to help. The young ones that work in the pub are also very friendly and chatty. We will definitely return in the future.
Disliked: A shame the swimming pool wasn’t open ( due to chlorine issues )
