From the manager: Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your kind comments about our team, the cleanliness of the facilities, and the quality of the pitch - we really appreciate it.
We’re sorry to hear there was some confusion around the waste disposal area. Just to clarify, our chemical toilet disposal point is in a completely separate and sheltered section of the waste area. It’s specifically designed to ensure safe and hygienic use, well away from any kitchen or food preparation zones. Toilet waste should never be emptied into the grey water drain - this may explain the issue you encountered.
We’ll take this opportunity to review our signage and guidance to help ensure this doesn’t happen again. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back to Linwater in the future.
Warm regards,
Ellie

Disliked: Saying you have wifi but it’s only available in the kitchen. This is why I took away some stars as it’s one of the main reason I picked this park. Traveling from over seas, data is very important
