Liked: Impressive entrance and initial wow factor of the Workshop bar area. Fab pizzas from the bar in the evening. Pleasant bar staff and reasonable bar prices.
Disliked: Not a pleasant camping experience. Evidently campers are the 'poor relations' compared to those staying in the 'luxury cabins'. Bleak pitches, away from all the lovely landscaping of the cabins. Just fencing and grey gravel to look out at. Facilities v inadequate. Just 2 toilets, and 2 showers, newly fitted out contemporary styling but cheap finish, with wood panels missing and one shower o.o.o.already. And the smell!!! Dreadful stale water smell permeating throughout the block, probably caused by the woeful drainage system in the shower. V poor design. Floors flood on first use, so poor for those following to use. No mop or means to tidy up a little for the next users. Washing up sink right beside the septic tank by the smell of it. Unbearable for me. Made my stomach heave. Couldn't wait to leave. Sorry Kip & Nook, but it seems a lot of style over substance.

Liked: The washroom facilities were really good.....with a double shower (which was a first for us). We spotted hot-tubs and even a sauna on site, which was also a novelty. The barn had a great-looking bar with cool seating areas.....dotted with vintage cars, which was really fun. We didn't eat there, but I understand there are things like pizzas and breakfast available (to pre-order).
Disliked: There was nothing we really disliked hugely - except that our Campervans pitch was next to a ditch which smelt very strongly of sewage. Once we closed our doors this wasn't a problem though, but with the dogs open, the smell was very 'present'.

Liked: Clean and clearly marked camping bays, lovely club house building with relaxed seating & table tennis, pool etc.
Disliked: Horrible smell - I was next to the toilet block. This smell was also evident inside the block. I couldn't work out if it was a sewage smell or something to do with the wood treatment of the building, but it was v unpleasant.
