From the manager: Michael, thank you so much. It was lovely to meet you and you looked so happy while you were here, it's lovely to see a smiling face and we would so like to see you again. I drove past you a couple of times on the golf buggy and you made me smile because you were all set up and looked so relaxed cooking and looked like you've always been here. 😂
You must book again soon.

Welcoming
Facilities were clean and great

Disliked Not a dislike- but shops/pub etc are not very local if you want to walk.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your great review Adam!
Thats a lovely list of likes!
Regarding your dislike, the only thing we can say about that is to ask our customers to research what is in the area and how far away it is before they book. It is about a 20 minute walk. We do give out a direction sheet to the shop and pub and explain to anyone who wants to go there that it is walk and it is uphill on the way back. We do advise elderly customers or those with children to take their vehicles if possible.
We would love to see you again! The Oak View Team Ruth and Rob 😊

Powered gravel and concrete site
Liked Beautiful calm and peaceful site with level pitches. We loved the woods nearby for dog walks and very clean facilities. Very helpful staff.
Disliked Poor internet connection - it barely ever worked.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you very much for that lovely review, it was lovely to meet you.
Regarding the wifi, we do know that it can sometimes be a problem. We have made improvements, but unfortunately there are lots of different factors that can affect it. Atmospherics, the amount of people we have in, the trees and when the show ground have an event on, this causes us problems too The wifi is free for this reason. We are constantly looking at other ways to improve it.
We would love to see you both again. The Oak View Team Ruth and Rob. 😊
