What customers say
Stunning parkland, woodland walks & river access perfect for exploring. Guests loved the spacious pitches, spotless facilities with hot showers & baths, and friendly staff. On-site pub and bakery a hit. Some found facilities dated or bins overflowing, but management assures improvements.

Tent pitch not suitable for tents
Powered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Lovely scenery and residents
Disliked The pitch we were given was completely unsuitable for pitching a tent. The ground is covered with large rocks, with many visibly protruding from the surface, and there are clearly numerous rocks just beneath the ground
Almost every peg hit a rock and caused damage to our tent pegs, so bad they all had to go in the bin when we took our tent down
Sent an email to customer services and still haven’t received a reply
Evening entertainment in the pub was poor and kitchen was closed all weekend due to sickness
Not impressed at all and will not be staying here again

Would not recomend
Powered grass and gravel caravan site
Liked It's very grand driving in and the bar staff was lovely.
Disliked We were put on a seasonal pitch that was completely overgrown with stinging nettles. We had booked and paid for a grass and gravel pitch because we use an awning and had guests staying with us for the weekend, but instead we were given a pitch made entirely of paving slabs.
When we went to reception, we were told it was “Pitch Up’s fault” and that the site was fully booked. However, after walking around, we saw plenty of empty pitches available, which made the explanation feel dismissive and unhelpful.
The pitch itself has potential if it was cleaned up and maintained properly, but in its current state it wasn’t suitable at all.
To add to this, the police were called to the site on the same night, which didn’t help the overall atmosphere or sense of safety.
The site also didn’t serve food on the second day, with no warning given, so we ended up having to order a takeaway.
Overall, the stay was disappointing. With better communication, proper maintenance, and more organisation, the site could be much nicer — but unfortunately that wasn’t our experience.

All as expected.
Powered grass and gravel caravan site
Liked Despite some bad reviews, I quite liked the site. Pitches were nicely placed in a wooded area, and although a huge complex it didn't seem crowded. The toilet blocks, although dated were clean and adequate. We only stopped for one night, but I would certainly return again if I needed to visit the area again.
