Liked: Location, pitch size, decent facility block.
Disliked: No arrival info, had to go and find the owner at their house to find out where to pitch.
Issues with other guests - one family had spread themselves out over the top corner near the facilities block and were just letting their kids run riot all over everyone’s pitches. They had parked their car in the arrivals spot obstructing new arrivals rather than in their pitch. We had to shut ourselves in our motorhome in the end to stop their young son coming over and trying to get in our motorhome. It was so intrusive and rude. Then another family arrived and pitched next to us and commenced to behave the same way, kids playing football in amongst ours and other people’s caravans, parents doing nothing to stop them. This and kids shouting at each other, and then parents next door shouting at kids went on until about 10pm.
Arguably not the site owners fault of course but there was no presence from them or any kind of deterrent for this behaviour, it was like these two families owned the place and there was nothing in place to stop their ignorant behaviour.
Basically a nicely laid out site but with very much a ‘help yourself and get on with it’ feel with no interaction whatsoever from the owners.
Might be ok if that sort of thing doesn’t bother you and if the other holiday makers are respectful but if you catch it unlucky like we did it’s not good. We found the whole experience invasive and stressful when all we wanted was a relaxing break after a four hour drive.

From the manager: Hello. I am sorry to hear of the problems you had. We were around on the site a lot in the morning and evenings but are out on the the farm during the day aswell. We did speak to the people as regards the children once we were aware of the issue and have since put up some extra signage to assist people when they arrive, keeping noise so it is unobtrusive and not to play around the caravans.
When booking direct with ourselves we always make sure people know where they are to pitch but apparently it isn't possible to do this through the pitchup system. As soon as we know someone has an issue we will sort it out straight away. Please accept our apologies - this isn't the normal experience for people staying here.
Beautifully located site with great pitches.

Liked: I honestly can't say enough good things about this site I had a day off and came on my own and had a thoroughly excellent day sunbathing in the peace and quiet that the site offers. It's definitely top of my sites I've stayed at if not the best the shower and changing facilities are great the site well organised and the views of the hills something else. Well done
