Liked A very friendly welcome, the site is clean and tidy, the pitches are large and you have plenty of room. Very dog friendly, and have a great place for the dog to run and paddle in the river.
Disliked Showers could be a little warmer.

From the manager: Dear Andrea,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review – we’re really glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us!
It’s lovely to know you felt warmly welcomed on arrival – we take great pride in creating a friendly and relaxed atmosphere for all our guests. We're also thrilled you appreciated the spacious pitches and how clean and tidy Riverbend is kept – our team works hard to maintain high standards, so that’s great to hear.
We’re especially pleased that your dog had a great time too! The river area is a favourite for many of our four-legged visitors, and it's lovely to hear they made the most of it in our lovely Dog (off lead) meadow a 5 minute walk from the park.
Regarding the showers, thank you for the feedback. We’re sorry to hear they weren’t quite warm enough for your preference. During your 9-day stay, there would have been plenty of opportunity for us to assist, and we would have been more than happy to turn them up if we’d known – it’s a quick fix, and we’re always here to help so for your next visit please don’t hesitate to speak to us during your stay if anything isn’t quite right – we want every part of your visit to be just right.
Thanks again for choosing to stay with us – we hope to see you (and your pup!) again soon.

Liked Everything, the site was beautiful. I've never seen such spotless toilets and showers. Nice dog walk for the dogs and they had a little paddle in the river.
Disliked Due to being by the river there was ALOT! Of flies however this is not the sites fault at all.

From the manager: Dear Rachel,
Thank you so much for your kind review – we’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the site beautiful! It’s fantastic to know that our facilities made such a great impression; we take real pride in keeping everything clean and welcoming, so your comments mean a lot to us.
We're so pleased your dogs enjoyed the walk and a paddle in the river – it's always a joy seeing our four-legged guests having fun too!
Regarding the flies, we're sorry to hear they were a bit of a nuisance during your stay. It’s not something we usually experience here, and we hadn’t noticed any issues ourselves at the time – perhaps just an unfortunate blip due to the warm weather. But thank you for your understanding that it’s outside of our control.
We really appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again soon.

Liked Toilet block (best ever, better than mine at home!), river is perfect for kids & dogs to paddle in, pitches very clean flat & tidy
Disliked A bit of road noise, fine though really
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Dear Jim,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a thoughtful review!
We're absolutely delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay – especially your kind words about our washrooms and that you found the river perfect for the kids and dogs to have a safe splash around. It’s also great to know that the pitch met your expectations – we work hard to keep them clean, flat and well-maintained.
We did want to thank you as well for mentioning the road noise. Just to clarify for future guests, the brief increase in noise was actually due to a local rally event that passed nearby. It only lasted around five minutes, and isn't a regular occurrence – but we understand how even a short bit of unexpected noise can catch you by surprise when you're enjoying the peace and quiet of the countryside.
Thanks again for choosing to stay with us – we hope to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing visit (rally-free next time!).

No grab rails and seat in the showers have reduced my rating to 8
Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked Nice level pitch with water and grey waste facilities. The washroom was beautiful, pristine and warm. Three shower units with WC and one without.
Disliked I couldn't use the showers because there was no grab rail and the floor was slippery when wet. I need a seat and could have used the WC but I noticed that there wasn't a seat in the unit without WC.

From the manager: Dear Maureen,
Thank you for your review.
We're pleased you enjoyed the peaceful pitch, water and waste facilities, and particularly the clean, warm washrooms — something we work hard to maintain.
That said, we feel it’s important to clarify a few points. Our facilities are not advertised as having grab rails nor do we claim to provide shower seats. While we understand that these features are important for some guests, it’s disappointing to be marked down for something we’ve never stated we offer, saying that we are always happy to help where we can, but it’s important that expectations are based on what’s actually provided. It may have been a good idea to talk to us first to see if we could have provided you with a stool. I would also like to clarify that our floor is non slip. At no time was it every slippery. Have you reviewed the wrong park?
Thank you again for your feedback — we’re always looking to improve where and if possible.
Kind regards
Angie Lindsey and Max.
Excellent site
Powered concrete and grass site (premium)
Liked Great facilities, really clean and well looked after. Beautiful site with the river running through, great for dog walks
Disliked Noisy people on one of the longer standing caravans on the first night, shouting continued until 2am when the rain started. I’d stay again but this did ruin the first night.

From the manager: Dear Dan,
Thank you for taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the facilities and the natural beauty of the site, especially the river walks – it's wonderful to know that stood out during your stay.
We're very sorry to hear that your first night was disturbed by noise from a nearby caravan. Please know that had we been made aware at the time, we would have acted promptly to resolve the issue. Guest comfort is extremely important to us, and we’re always available to assist with any concerns during your stay.
We truly value your feedback and are pleased to hear you'd consider staying with us again. We look forward to welcoming you back for a more peaceful and enjoyable experience.
