Liked We loved the beautifully maintained park, woods and local wildlife. The check in/out was smooth. The facilities were clean and roomy.

Disliked I prefer a wilder site if I travel solo, but with kids this place is ideal.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it is so helpful for us to hear what our guests think. Hopefully see you again sometime. Best Wishes from The Alders Team.

Liked Friendly, helpful staff. Clean showers and toilets. Lovely base location for walkers.

Disliked The field is very exposed. The poor weather ahead of our arrival made the site very boggy. Best visited during summer season.

Liked We knew we'd arrive late so called in advance and were quickly given the appropriate number for the staff who'd be on site that evening. We travelled in our micro camper and found that the lane into the site was fine to use despite heavy rain and arriving in the dark. There were potholes, but consider the use of the site and the weather. Damage over time is inevitable and the lane was not water-logged or impassable in any sense. There was no risk at all that we would not reach the site or that we'd damage our vehicle. Maybe I'm just used to it as a Yorkshire lass, but our neighbours in much larger vehicles seemed happy enough, too. The staff could not have been more helpful before and after we arrived. Debbie arranged for us to park in a nearby well-lit pitch as it was late. The pitch was large and the site is peaceful - we are tiny but the pitches easily accommodate RVs. We could not pitch our awning as the non-hardstanding part to the side was brambles rather than grass and may have torn the groundsheet. We didn't need the awning so we didn't ask to move, but I have no doubt that staff would have provided us support the next morning had it been necessary. Swiftly prepared, tasty and affordable food available at the clean, warm cafe. There are toilets in the cafe which are accessible during 'office hours'. Well-stocked tackle shop with good signage to indicate where to get your fishing papers. As you'll see in the details, there are no shower/toilet blocks, but it's easy to wash etc and dispose of waste water not far from the camper standing. Debbie went to the trouble to get her wellies and high beam headtorch on to help us navigate the dark when we arrived and show us clearly before we settled for the night. We'd definitely return, in fact we plan to later this year.

Disliked Nearby construction of HS2. This didn't interfere with our enjoyment of the site, but lights can be seen on the cranes being used and works may be off-putting to others.

From the manager: Thank you very much, we appreciate your honest review!

Liked A warm welcome despite our late arrival. Thoughtful placement of pitches for shelter from the rain, clean facilities of a very good standard. Absolutely faultless. We will definitely be back.

Disliked Neighbour dog barked almost constantly, can't be helped!

Liked Beautiful woods with a generous pitch, excellent hosts and clean, smart toilet facilities. We can't wait to go back.

Liked The staff were really helpful, the pitch was not crowded. Fire stuff available. Clean facilities. Absolute bargain.

Disliked Not really a dislike and noted in their description: There are no showers available so for longer stays we'll take our own.
