From the manager: Hi Lyndsey, Thank you so much for your review! we hope to see you again soon :)

Liked: The sunset and sunrise. The views.

Disliked: It’s a couple of sloping, rough fields on a working farm which becomes a bog when it rains. My small campervan got stuck and had to be towed out…by the dad with his tractor….was told to go into the small car park right at the entrance , 200 yards from the loos. Ten minutes later a large motor home was put on the same plot!! And was stuck and had to be towed out…..all day and evening I listened to traffic from the road, and vehicles crashing over the cattle grid next to my van…. Dog’s expensive….must be on a short lead. Toilets Well there are four unisex outdoor cubicles and a urinal….for the 150 units I counted on the site. Sunday morning, three loos were covered in crap, literally, and unusable. I’d paid £50 for two nights….asked for a refund…since I can park free in a lay-by/car park!! .was given £25 back. Stayed the one night…an absolute joke and definitely not worth it. These people are not running a campsite….they’re making a lot of money from some gash land which floods. In over 60years of camping, this is definitely the worst value place I’ve ever been.

From the manager: Hi Ellen, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent visit to our campsite. We sincerely apologise for the inconveniences you experienced during your stay. We understand that your campervan getting stuck due to the 3 weeks of persistent rain we had and having to be towed out was an unpleasant experience. however if you had listened to our instruction on where to go and how to drive on to the pitch this issue would not have occurred. Regarding the placement of your campervan , we placed you on hard standing which was only 5 meters from where you had decided to pitch yourself originally. so i don't think it is fair to complain about how far you were from the facilities. In terms of your refund request, you stayed on site and used our facilities for one night. hence why you received £25, which is half of your two-night fee. We genuinely value your feedback, and we will continue working diligently to make necessary improvements to our campsite. We hope you would consider giving us another chance in the future and experiencing the positive changes we aim to implement. Once again, we apologise for the disappointment you encountered during your stay, and we appreciate your valuable feedback as it helps us become better at what we do. Warm regards, Amy
