Liked: Liked the look of the place once past all the caravans and actually in the quarry, very well maintained In all aspects, from clean tidy pitches to the heated floors in the shower rooms (really nice touch) for the price you pay. Small park to cater for the kids (2-10/12) with a big sand pit that the baby loved. Staff and food at the cafe was absolutely wonderful I would defiantly recommend with so much on the menu.
Disliked: Unfortunately from the moment we arrived the pich size was too small for our vw WITH our driveaway awning as we was told it couldn't cross the hard standing boundary onto the grass as it will wreck it. (PITCH SPACE WAS STATED ON SITE FOR UNLIMITED) which my parter did confirm on a phone call next morning after booking. Was tild this wont be a problem.This was a huge realisation that we could not stay on these pitches.( also with a 2 year old and a first time for our new puppy). By the time we arrived there was nobody in the office, we spoke to the groundsman who said only thing to do is try and book somewhere else as nobody is here, or I can put you on the front field.(right on a busy main road, didnt feel safe atall). We had no choice that or go home after looking online. As we had drove a few hours after a day's work we decided to stay. The next day we approached the lady on the front desk who just said "we have catered for you" but as the phone rang mid conversation literally just answered it ignorantly and just dealt with the call rather than us. This was a basically we don't care approach, such a massive let down to us but other staff members was really lovely.

Pitch sizes are limited and staff don't care if you have a problem.

Liked: Park and onsite cafe where fantastic. Warden who was on site if a night was lovely also.
Disliked: When booking it states pitch size unlimited ITS NOT!!!. I have a 5m driveaway bell tent so we called the day after booking and let them know as i know some sites do have limits but this stated unlimited, and they said it would be fine. When we arrived the pitch size was not unlimited and only about 5m in total so was nowhere near big enough for even a standard driveaway awning never mind mine. As reception was closed at this point the warden on site said the only thing they could do was put us on the front field on the main road. I wouldn't have booked if I was going to be pitched on a busy main road and was expecting to be staying in the quarry as this was why we booked. The next day we went to speak to reception and alls I got was "well we accommodated you so what's your problem" whilst also answering the phone mid conversation. Be aware pitch sizes are limited very limited and if you have a camper and a driveaway awning you will not fit on a pitch. For someone who travels regularly all over the UK this is the first time I've been met with this problem and reception staff didn't care as we had already paid and refused refund if we chose to leave.

Liked: Fab size pitches, easy check in. Toilets and showers were lovely and clean. Great park for the children and a little exercise area for the dogs. Within walking distance to a shop and chippy. Fantastic accessory shop on site for any caravaning/motorhome bits you may need. Will definitely return!

Liked: Great location, very clean and tidy. Great access to shops, pub, leisure centre. Staff very helpful and friendly. We never used the cafe but it looked great. I would recommend this site
Disliked: After 7. 30pm very quiet no people about. The people staying Next door decided to sit behind their caravan for some reason, which meant we had to sit being ignored on our space, Really rude people but that’s not the sites fault. Needs more toilet blocks
