Liked: Decent sized pitch, lovely looking big site with river running through it. Plenty of dog walk areas, close to town centre for visiting.
Disliked: Shower block and toilets need an upgrade. Below standard for a great site.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Staff were excellent, couldn't fault them. Grounds were well kept. All 3 playparks for kids were amazing. Nice scenery. Local milk bar was great for an ice-cream.
Disliked: Touring pitches felt really squeezed in with no separation between them and roads in the touring area were really narrow.

Camping pod
Liked: The location is close to a very nice little town. (The town is a stiff walk uphill) some amazing locations around within 45 mins drive make this an excellent location for sight seeing. The campsite is set by a river and has good amenities.
We were a group of four couples and had requested to be located close together as we share meals. One couple in a caravan was located away from the rest of us and staff were helpful in finding them a pitch closer to us. The pods get lovely afternoon and evening sun outside and there was plenty enough room for our friends to sit out with us (whereas their touring pitches were more close together)
The shower was powerful and hot and although there are only three showers and three loos in the ladies I never had to queue.
The laundry area with wash up sinks is conveniently placed near toilet/shower area - close to reception and the pods
The club house is nice and the one show we saw (the drag act) was outstanding
Staff were friendly and gave us a good welcome
Very good value for money.
Disliked: Some fairly aggressive ducks who occasionally appeared outside our pod very curious about what we were eating made eating outside a challenging experience.
The pod was small with little space for bags and equipment once the bed was up - but its clear in site details and we were aware of that when booking. The little porch allowed us to store cooking stuff outside the pod and it felt safe to leave.
General lack of maintenance on site (broken picnic bench outside pod, non working carbon monoxide alarm in pod, non working hot tap in one of the wash up sinks, broken plugs in both sinks) - other campers told us that some of the issues had already been reported and not acted on.
Shower cubicles were small with no grab rail or seat which made dressing within them difficult. Shower was not adjustable so your hair gets wet regardless of whether you want to wash it or not. Each activation of shower provides water for a few seconds and there is no shelf for toiletries so it’s difficult to wash
Only one vehicle route in and out. When static homes are being moved it blocks the roadway

From the manager: Thank you for your detailed feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed the beautiful location, helpful staff, and great amenities, including the powerful showers and outstanding entertainment. It’s wonderful to hear the pods provided a comfortable space for socializing, and that you found great value in your stay.
We appreciate your comments on site maintenance, shower facilities, and access routes. Your insights are valuable, and we’ll take them into consideration for future improvements. As for the curious ducks, they certainly seem to have a bold personality!
