Liked: The location is first rate and our host was very attentive. The showers and dry room were hot, warm and welcoming and the environment at the camp was very peaceful however we had an issue with the group we shared the site with on our first night.
Disliked: We were so looking forward to a peaceful few days but our first day/night was shattered by a group of British motorbikers who monopolised the shared spaces making us feel like intruders and at night they had a campfire and stayed around it until way after midnight laughing and joking. I did try to appeal to them but was ignored. I think the host needs to keep a closer eye on big groups or maybe does not allow single sex groups to stay when others are booked in - a tough ask in these financial trying times but it is such a shame to have people's holidays spoilt by brash behaviour.

From the manager: Hello Steve.
Thank you taking the time to write this comment.
I'm not surprised by your remark because we talked about your night directly.
You were at my campsite during the Motogp weekend, and there is always lot of campers. I'm sorry if your experience was bad. As stated in the message I sent you afterwards, I invite you to come back and enjoy the peace and quiet of my campsite. I have taken note of all the ideas you submitted to me, as the well-being of my campers is of the utmost importance to me. I hope to see you here again one day.
Kind regards
En pleine nature…

From the manager: Bonjour Pierre,
Merci d'avoir pris le temps de mettre une note à votre séjour pendant ce week-end du motogp. Je vous invite à me contacter directement car je suis surpris par les notes intermédiaires (et un peu la note globale je dois avouer) vu notre conversation lors de votre départ. Votre retour d'expérience est important pour moi afin de m'améliorer et d'améliorer le séjour de mes campeurs. Je ne suis pas un professionnel, je ne suis donc pas encore parfait.
Dans l'attente de votre message, je vous souhaite une très bonne journée.
Cordialement.
Super freundlicher Patron!!! Alles bestens gepflegt und sauber.…

Liked: Peaceful and tranquil environment with a great host. This site has so much more than the write up, indoor and outdoor loos and showers, a comunual area with seating, fridge freezer and wash up. An that's on top of outdoor seating and firepit. When it says someone's back garden think way outside of the box, we didn't want to leave.
Disliked: Seriously there was nothing to dislike.
