Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Lovely campsite, clean facilities and welcoming helpful staff
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked The campsite was lovely and facilities were clean, the staff were welcoming informative and helpful and it was good value for money. There is a good play area for children and plenty of space for the children to run around.
Disliked A couple of grumbles would be that the toilet blocks were very far away from the non electric campsite which isn’t great for anyone with mobility issues, also the waste disposal area was very smelly which could maybe benefit from being a bit more closed in.

Highly recommend and will stay again.
Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Quiet, family friendly park.
It was very easy to find and had everything we wanted.
Shower/toilet facilities were fantastic.
Will definitely be staying again.
Disliked Piece of metal sticking out of the fence cut my leg when walking past. I put some tape on to hold it back and let a staff member know who said he’d fix it tomorrow.

Premium Woodland lodge (hot tub)
Liked The cabin was nice and clean and well presented. We had a lovely time using the cabin as a base for our day trips.
Disliked The play area is located a considerable distance from the cabins and down a steep hill. On the second day of our six-day stay, we informed the staff—twice—that only two of the four burners on the gas hob were working. Despite this, no attempt was made to repair it during our visit. We adapted our cooking to manage, but we had expected at least three, if not all four, burners to be functional.

Good site but could be a lot better
FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Space was good
Disliked Needed weeds cutting back to fence also the grass area to the side full of stones and needed sorting also the toilet block that was closed why people had to walk up the hill to the new toilet block which was good grey waste told to empty in wood

Used to love this place however not so much now unfortunately.
Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Site is well presented and clean with lovely surroundings. Staff/wardens very friendly and helpful.
Disliked Pitches are very very close together with not really any room to even sit outside of tent and relax. Evenings seem loud however I think it’s because tents are almost touching each other.
Not the sites fault however people driving around need to slow down as lots of children out & about. Didn’t have the worst time but I won’t be returning.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us we appreciate the feedback.
Sorry you did not feel you could relax whilst with us. We are working on where we pitch the tents and have a few plans to create more space between units unless family and friends want to pitch nearer each other.
Sorry to hear you wont be coming back but wish you well in your new ventures.
Apart from the toilets there was nothing we liked about this site.
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Toilets were clean.
Disliked Booked a fully serviced pitch which cost £35 per night. Very disappointed to find a faulty tap which fell apart and soaked me through to the skin. No side grass on the pitch just dirt so everything ended up filthy, only one set of facilities for the whole site which was totally inadequate for the number of people there. Area outside the facilities resembled a building site with rubble underfoot, no decent paths of any kind. Definitely wouldn’t go back for free.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us we appreciate the feedback.
Sorry you were disappointed with your stay.
The tap which fed 2 pitches had been completely unscrewed from the pipe as confirmed by maintenance who managed to put the tap back on for you. We did try to help by drying your clothes for you. The pitch as a result was very wet.
Sorry you feel you wont return in the future, all the best with your new ventures.
