Swallow Bach

Liked There was plenty of space. The area was clean and looked after. It was very quiet. There were bins around to throw your rubbish. We received detailed instructions to find the site after booking so it was very easy to find on the day as well. The location was very close to the city centre with several supermarkets. Though, you didn’t have that city feel. I loved waking up to the sounds of the birds.

Liked Nothing

Disliked When we arrived on Friday 22 May, the site was completely unmanned and the grass was extremely overgrown and poorly maintained. The pitch itself was also not level, making it unsuitable and uncomfortable to stay on. Overall, the site was not as advertised.



There was also a permanent resident onsite whose behaviour made us feel very uncomfortable. He was playing loud offensive music and openly smoking weed near campers. Due to the atmosphere and feeling unsafe and uncomfortable, we were forced to pack up the following morning and leave early.



This experience was completely unacceptable and did not match the description or standards advertised when booking. As a result, I am requesting a full refund.

From the manager: Thanks number of points-

this is the first i have heard of these issues- it seems you are motivated for a full refund- despite staying there the entire week

the pitches are pretty level- no one else in 43 reviews has commented

it is not poorly maintained and the grass is cut weekly- but it grows when you have rain and exceptional sunshine - and no one else this year has made that comment

there is no 'permanent resident' - but on a bank holiday there were a lot of kids- and if you would have rung me and stated they were playing loud offensive music , or smoking weed - then i would have dealt with that straight away- i do not tolerate any antisocial behaviour - and they would have been aware of the rules on the sight and the consequences for not following - leading to eviction if necessary.

May i suggest if not happy, pick up the phone during your break- i am always contactable rather than simmering and writing a nasty review

Liked It's cheap and no nonsense. a little hard to find but there are instructions, When I go there, I arrive 9pm, and get up and go 4am (fishing). I don't need amenities so it's perfect.

Disliked Nuffin.

Liked If you want peace and quiet, then this is the place. Owners' directions are excellent. Lovely rural spot but less than 10 mins drive from shops

From the manager: you have it down for what its about...

Liked Quiet location, really good value for money. I was only looking a place with electricity and water to park the caravan.

Disliked It was a bit difficult to find the place, even with the owner instructions.

From the manager: Thanks guys. It is CNN known as a well kept secret and I like it like that. Great value in a quiet secluded location.

Liked Locality is great, having power and water at the pitch is fab. The chemical waste disposal point is exactly as expected and has a decent rinse water pressure.

The site is very basic as described, and suited us fine for 4 nights, we were lucky to get a hard standing pitch with gravel almost to the pitch, as other pitches need to be accessed via grass, and motorhomes like ours are notorious for lack of grip on grass that is not bone dry. Just something worth bearing in mind in and being prepared for.

From the manager: Thanks glad you had a lovely time. I think you have the essence of what we are trying to deliver. Peace and tranquility with all services on the pitch.

Clean water tap and Electricity point for each hardstanding pitch.
Waste disposal and large bin.
