Liked: How quiet it was, the little envelope that’s left for you in the reception area with everything you need to know, the sort of enclosed dog area with poo bin so you don’t have to walk to the main bin, acres and acres of land to walk, showers were excellent with lovely toilet cubicles which were lovely and warm. Upon arrival we couldn’t find our envelope so I called Paul in the number provided who kindly told me where it was, it was finding underneath 2 Amazon parcels that had been delivered so I hid the parcels for him and found my envelope.
Disliked: The payment system, in the envelope at the bottom where it states how to make payment, there are 3 options. To pay cash, by card or bank transfer. I opted for bank transfer as before we started doing anything I paid the money and didn’t have to wander anywhere as we arrived at 6pm and were hungry. As my partner was setting up I drove to Lidl (5mins away) for some sauce for our burgers and I got a call from my partner saying Linda had wandered over to him and asked him to pay for the pitch as they hadn’t received anything. As I arrived back to our tent I was in the middle of cooking and Linda approached us and asked us for the pitch back (I was a bit taken back as I paid over an hour ago) I did show her my online bank statement to prove payment had been made. Linda did say she would double check her end and I also said that I would head over to her in the morning before we leave to double check. We stayed the night and Linda headed over to us in the morning to say it was an error their side and my payment was received. What I didn’t like was the way we were approached and were asked to give the pitch back before even speaking with me after my return from the shop. Linda is a lovely lady and we settled the issue in the end but I would advise to go and find someone to pay directly to them to save the hassle.

From the manager: Hi, the only reason there was an issue with payment, was because you booked the same afternoon as arrival, so there was no way of us collecting payment before arriving as we would normally do so. This is the only issue we have with letting Pitchup customers book the same day as arrival (which is why alot of sites don't allow this!), but we do our very best to be flexible. I apologise that we asked for payment, but in this day and age, especially on a one night stay, if we don't, customers tend to disappear in the morning without paying! At no point however, were you asked for the pitch back - we have never, and would never do this. (There must be some confusion or misunderstanding on this matter, and Linda was most upset when reading this). I am glad that you enjoyed your stay, and hope you will come back! Many thanks, the team at Appledore Park

Liked: Nice, dog friendly site with beautiful views 👌 🐶. We felt so welcome by Linda and Rob, the wardens. They looked after us and kept the place immaculate. The facilities are absolutely spotless, heated floor in the showers was very welcomed. 2 dog walking areas, with a secure field for our puppies to run in 🐶 . Lovely pub with delicious food 2.5 miles away,just a short drive. Thank you for having us, we will be back😍. Miriama,Paul, B&B 🐶

Liked: Absolutely brilliant stay here, Rob and Lin truly made the stay even better! So helpful, couldn't do enough for us, lovely to chat with and lots of knowledge about the area and the site itself. The site itself lots of room to explore, brilliant fishing, toilet block wow! Super clean and warm all the time, lovely clean site overall. Both my dogs enjoyed the 8 acer field along with with the wooded area so much room to exercise them! Both Rob and Lin made such a fuss of my dogs and happy to check in with my son as well. Level pitch and close to main block, well lit all round but not to bright to keep you awake, good information room along with the use of a fridge and washing machine if needed, only thing no microwave which on this occasion we would of made use of if they had one but didn't in no way ruin our stay, such a quiet relaxed and friendly site, will definitely be going back. Thanks for having us.
