Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Location was easy to find. Nice looking site that's well kept with good facilities. Nearby pubs were lovely with a few takeaway options too.
Ice cream & chilled drinks available in reception which was nice.
Potential for nice views (obstructed by too many tents). There is a good park for kids, but it's quite far and not in eye sight from the grass electric pitches
Disliked The electric grass pitches were far too cramped, it felt like we were at a festival. They were also not clearly marked so It was a bit of a free for all as to where your actual pitch ended up with the tent next to you pitching too far over etc. The pitch size is advertised as unlimited which it definitely isn't. Because of how busy the site was it was very loud overnight.
Maybe fine for some people but we prefer a spacious open pitch with nice views including some grass space in front of the tent.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Lovely quiet campsite. We opted for no electricity so got a lot more space around compared to those with electric hookup. This was great for our dog. The new toilet facilities were clean and well maintained. It was nice to be able to walk straight to the woods from the campsite.
Disliked Would have liked more water points around especially down on the bottom field as we had to walk a bit just to fill our bottles. Would also be good to update/ reopen the old facilities just so the walk wasn't so far from the non electric pitches. Finally it would be nice to have a freezer/ fridge for ice packs to help those camping. As this is advertised as a holiday park I just felt there could have been a little more in terms of facilities to accommodate everyone. The points mentioned however, didn't ruin our stay they just could have made it even better :)

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Spacious, green campsite surrounded by woodland, good for walks and exploring. Showers had hot water and were never crowded. Good local places to eat nearby, and lots of space for kids and dogs to run freely (but due to H&S we had to keep an eye on them so they do not approach burned waste area).
Disliked It was quite shocking to see an area on-site (field for tents), where non-organic items like furniture had been burned. Among the waste were metal parts, broken ceramic...none of which are biodegradable. What’s especially concerning is that this spot was completely unfenced, located in an open field, and visible to everyone, including children playing nearby. From a health and safety perspective, this poses a real risk, sharp or toxic materials left exposed in a family-friendly space should be properly contained or removed.
As a campsite, I believe it’s important to lead by example when it comes to environmental responsibility. Items like this should be disposed of through appropriate recycling or waste facilities.

Liked Loads of space for the kids to play. Woods nearby.
Disliked There was a pile of rubbish in the middle of the field where we were camping. It looked like loads of furniture and stuff had been burnt there. It was extremely unsafe for little ones with loads of metal and glass around especially as it was very close to the playground. Also, it completely spoilt the views. It's a shame as otherwise the campsite was nice. I'm afraid we won't return.

Liked Able to walk the pooch in the woods
Disliked Arrived at pitch to find lots of disguarded cigarette butt's. Very unlevel pitches. Some areas rundown. Toilet block would be great if it was clean. Given barrier code which was useless because barrier was always open.

From the manager: Thank you for the feedback.

The pitches are on a slope and although we do are best given the environment we will continue to work on the pitches.
