Disliked Nothing, we wish we could have stayed longer.

Liked We did have a nice stay

From the manager: Abigail, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re glad you did have a nice stay with us.
Unfortunately we have had an ant problem. They do get literally everywhere and if not controlled can become an even bigger headache.
You are right we are right next to a main road and that in itself is a lot of negatives for us. We don’t hide the fact we are as close to the main road as we are and this is in our bio and site description.
We’re sorry you felt that The Beeches was not for you.
Thank you however, for taking the time to leave your unbiased review.

Liked Family friendly chilled and lovely people this is the second time we've stay with our 3 children and we love it , toilets and showers are nice and clean lots too do in the local area we choose too just stay onsite and relax the children played for hours

Disliked I know some people mention the road noise but you do get used too it , it didn't effect our time there

From the manager: Anonymous, thank you for taking the time to leave a review on The Beeches Campsite.
You are so right about the road noise, we’ve tried everything in our power to reduce this but it’s unfortunately something we have to live with. Without sounding like a broken record, some people think it’s a massive problem but we are so glad you felt it didn’t make your stay a bad one with us.
The fact you’ve returned means we are getting things right and we take great pleasure in realising this. We are unfortunately situated where we are and you do need a car to get to us, and to travel to other destinations away from here. That is why we have catered for families with small children in getting the amount of play park equipment we have. The fact you felt you could relax whilst the children were playing is testament enough that you found our facilities more than acceptable. Thank you again for taking the time to leave us a review. Mick

Liked Very nice Very friendly and helpful

Disliked Toilets

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Andrew, thank you for taking the time to leave a review on The Beeches. Yes we are very nice, very friendly and helpful. What was it you particularly didn’t like about the toilets? These have been completely revamped earlier this year at a considerable amount of time, effort and cost to us. Were they left in a state that was unacceptable after someone else used them? Were they not to your satisfaction in other ways? This review doesn’t help us to see where things have gone wrong so it’s a bit like stabbing in the dark here. Mick

Liked We've booked a couple of pictures with the beaches this one was my daughter's , she wanted some time away from college and work , and the beaches were very welcoming for us all with the biggest stars being ben and richard who have welcomed every single one of my family (there was a lot of us) they treated us all like family.and anywhere they could help , they were there like a shot a lot of people have mentioned about the A17 unfortunately, that cannot be helped, it's just location, it's nowhere near as bad as what people said you do get used to it and it only seems to be bad on certain days but again we're used to this.We live on a main road and it's definitely a lot quieter than where we live we would all stay again AN AMAZING MASSIVE , THANK YOU TO BEN AND RICHARD😊

Disliked Again , the only thing we could dislike about it was the Ants (bring ant powder)

Liked Had a lovely 2 week stay on this campsite and have to say the people who were looking after it on behalf of the wardens (richard and his son ben) were absolutely fantastic, some of the nicest people you could meet and really went above and beyond to help our stay go smoothly. Firstly, when we got there the winds were too strong and we couldn't get the tent up so they didnt hesitate and moved our pitch and helped us out to get the tent up in just a few minutes. As soon as there was an issue they were jumping to fix it including the play equipment making sure it was kept in safe condition for the kids to use. When my son bumped his head richards wife mel tended to him and provided and ice pack. They were so lovely to chat to everyday and we hope to see them on the site again in the future.

Liked Just come back from a 2x week stay at the Beeches and we absolutely loved it very clean sight, well maintained very generous spacious pitches ben and richard oh and roxie (the dog 😊) looked after us just like family for the whole stay ben even played football with the kids it's a very cosy campsite , just a way we like it to be honest , it's one of the best campsites we've been to so far for making us feel welcomed we had a little issue with my cousins tent due to the very bad wind on the day and ben and his dad , richard helped them pitch up anytime the toilets ran out of soap , no toilet rolls ect mick refilled, it Immediately also, some other bigger kids broke the kids side of the park again mick was out within minutes and toke it out of commission and made it all safe and repaired it the next day so safety is also their biggest strength yes, this site has staggered feedback, but I can honestly say please try it we love to stay and we'll happily go back anytime from the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU MICK BEN AND RICHARD 😊😊 for making us feel like family more than a campsite

Disliked The only discleke we've had is ants and that's got nothing to do with the owners or maintenance team it's just britain unfortunately take plenty of ant powder if pitching up in the hot weather (it dose help)

From the manager: Gerald, you are so right about safety coming first. We take this really zero and as a consequence we have had to remove aspects of the play equipment over the season but this takes time to repair and install again.
I’m sure Ben, Richard and Roxy will appreciate your very kind comments and so do I.
We always like to hear when we’ve got things right and although you had problems with your tent we’re glad we could help you and come to a workable solution. We are all not always there all of the time but so glad we had a spare pitch you could use. We do maintain a good standard of cleanliness on site and the toilet block and showers are the key place where this is concentrated.
Gerald you are so right about the ants as they’ve given us a bit of a problem at times but yes having ant powder helps and it sounds like you utilised it well.
Thank you again for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate it.

Liked Liked the campsite, play area was a bonus.

Disliked The pitch’s are too close together for what we are used to

From the manager: Anonymous, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review on The Beeches.
Glad you liked the campsite overall and yes our play area is a highlight for those visiting but recently it has taken a bit of a battering so we have had to remove elements of it for safety purposes. It will be rectified very soon though.
As for the pitches being too close together, they are 10m squared and are clearly marked out. This is also dependant on how campers pitch and how many vehicles are in use by each pitch as it should in theory allow a safe distance. But saying that, it also depends on what you’re used to. We have a limited amount of space available for camping and we do always adhere to the safety of campers first and foremost. Thank you again for posting your unbiased review on us.

Liked Fantastic site. Clean and well maintained. Staff very friendly. Lovely little place. Would definitely recommend

From the manager: Helen, thank you for leaving a review on The Beeches Campsite. It’s was an absolute pleasure having you stay with us. We do take good care of the site and to hear we’re doing things right is reassuring for us. Thank you for taking the time to do this review.

Liked Everything! 🥰

Disliked Negative reviews!
Yes normally you can have fires but unfortunately due to the temperature the grass is extremely dry therefore for the SAFETY of everyone onsite they have taken the decision not to allow them at this time! Which we totally agree with!
This is a lovely campsite great for the children, well run with amazing staff/owners, and value for money! 💰
This is our 4th time here and are returning again in August.
Regarding the noise from the A17 this is CLEARLY stated in the write up so when people complain about it well you should read before booking 🤦🏻‍♀️ yes there is noise which some earplugs soon sort out!
The WiFi is rubbish but you’re camping!! The site does not provide WiFi and does not state that they do!!
I disagree that these sorts of comments bring the rating down of a lovely site!
We can’t wait to return! See you all soon 💜

From the manager: Louise, thank you for taking the time to review The Beeches. We love having you here as the fact you keep coming back means we are getting things right.
Absolutely right with the safety as we do take this seriously and we do not take these decisions to allow open fires and firepit usage lightly.
We are a family orientated site as we have spent so much time, effort and money on providing enough for the children to do onsite. Children should be allowed to be children and we love hearing whoops of laughter from them clearly enjoying themselves.
Yes we have never hidden the fact we are close to the A17, I do wish we could control the traffic noise but we have done all we can. At the end of the day it’s all down to what you’re used to. For some people this can be a problem.
We do have Wi-Fi but this is only to our vans so we can run the site correctly and is very limited in distance.
We do work very hard to maintain this site and you are so right about certain reviews which bring down our overall score.
We look forward to seeing you all again very soon and thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We all appreciate it!
