Liked: A wonderfully friendly and tranquil campsite. Despite reception being closed the note on the door welcomed us and advised us of our pitch. All amenities available ! Even fire pits can be rented. The shower and toilet block are pristine! There are hairdryers too. Staff are super friendly and helpful and the reception also does cooked breakfast. The staff advised us about walks, footpaths and their knowledge of the local area is excellent. Tip: don't forget you campervan ramps to get your van level!
Disliked: A bit of a hike to the village, so stayed onsite in the evening. The odd microlight flew nearby. But I believe this is very occasional.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. I am pleased you liked our site and would return. I am sorry to hear that you were inconvenienced by reception being closed but you did not arrive until gone 6 Sunday evening having booked at quarter past four that evening. As a small family run site, we are open as much as is possible but we do like to have our Sunday evenings off to recharge. We do hope to welcome you back
Lovely staff, lots to offer and we will be coming back.

Liked: Very clean shower block and always ample hot water for washing up. Plenty of space for the tent pitch and parking of car. Lovely coffee shop and basic supplies available to buy.
Disliked: The site has a quiet time between 8 am & 10 pm. However on the Friday night there were children and adults shouting until 11 pm and on the Saturday night one of our party had to go and ask a very large group of adults and children at 10.30 pm to keep the noise down. Apparently they were running organised games for the children and were not aware of the 10 pm quiet time. This is advertised on the website and the brochure we are given on arrival. This perhaps should be highlighted on arrival at the campsite as we were not overly happy with the constant noise.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience with the noise during your stay. Our quiet time policy from 10 PM to 8 AM is clearly stated on our website and in the brochures provided at check-in. Everyone is made aware of this noise policy and we do expect all our guests to adhere to it. It is disappointing that on this occasion a minority has spoiled it for you. We live on site and make regular checks and did deal with a noise issue on the Friday. As a result, we made extra checks on the Saturday and all seemed fine when we left at 10.15. We were not made aware of any issues later that evening and are truly sorry and disappointed to hear that you were adversely affected. We can only assure you that this is the exception to the rule for us and does not happen very often. If we are made aware of it we do deal with it. We do hope that you will return and give us a second chance, especially as you seem to have loved the rest of the site.
