Electric optional hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch
Liked: Nothing it’s a building site
Disliked: This place is an absolute disgrace , it shouldn’t be open because it’s not finished . There is building supplies , machinery and rubble everywhere. Even the shower black entrance is dangerous to negotiate the non existent step in to it . What are supposed to be Motorhome bays are not fit for purpose, they are too close together to be safe and too narrow for a standard Motorhome . I contacted the owner but he’s not interested at all . The site is supposed to be close to the M6 but it’s not and it’s in the middle of nowhere. We couldn’t get a WiFi signal at all .

Electric optional hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch
Liked: So quiet and glorious starry skies. Bistro and bar was great. Staff are lovely, there just needs to be at least 2 more of them. Showers are powerful and hot. The lasagne is first class.
Disliked: So the idea and design is great, however the implementation is lacking. Just needs finishing off and attention giving to the details; is it a camp site or a building site? The attention to detail is not there- beautiful flowers around the pitches intermingled with nettles and docks, weeds in between the cobbles of the pitches, pitches need to be wider (why does it specify 5m x 6m on the website for hard stabding pitches??There are no motorhomes of those dimensions!!), kids running on the gravel from 6am is noisy, doors don't fit shower cubicles, bins over flowing, huge step out of the shower block, huge last step up to the games room in the bar, holes around the spotlights in shower room, nowhere dry to dry yourself out of the shower, construction equipment within metres of the pitches, shower block code scribbled on a scrap of paper, poorly signed off the road, no reception to check in, dear for what it is, staff run off their feet, food was super but the wait was not, website makes it look a lot more salubrious than it is. It feels like they opened it for guests before it was finished but then on asking, we were told it has been open 10 years! Don't be put off, just have a moment to think that the website is very well marketed.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: The campsite was in an ideal position for the start of the Hadrian's wall walk and had all the amenities needed, including toilets, showers, bar and cafe. We had a lovely breakfast before setting off and the staff were lovely and very helpful, one member of staff even took the trouble to walk us to the start of the walk and take some photographs for us. Would definitely recommend.
Disliked: Nothing but would say that there is not a lot in the area if you require a lot of local amenities and would check the closing times of the nearby pub

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Parking was included in pitch price. Washing facilities.
Disliked: Site not as advertised. Actually in a field next to a cemetery. All "facilities" are dotted over a larger area. Photos are not of the toilet and shower blocks, these are mis-represented. Showers flooded, no hand soap, mens toilet next to chemical waste disposal so stunk. Poor fitting doors so privacy compromised. Wasn't given the code on arrival and had to ask other campers for details. No reception so you are lost (both through location and what to do) on arrival. No menu on a Sunday in bar/restaurant. Looks pretty but service is to be desired - 35 minutes for onion rings! No organisation of pitches, or space to pitch. Noisy site with no respect for camping etiquette (space/quiet hours/dogs on leads). Messy construction, with place looking like a building site. Overflowing bins. Poor signage. Nearest shop 10 miles away as isn't one on site as advertised. No wifi, no access to gym - all advertised but not possible. Left a day early!
