Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Overall, great resort with excellent facilities and activities
Primitive grass campsite
Liked The pitches were spacious, shower facilities and toilets weee kept generally clean. The evening entertainment was brilliant, lovely addition to our stay.
The food is lovely too, we had the Tomahawk steak (special) and it was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious. Well worth the money!!
The soft play area for the kids is a great addition. Everything you would want and more for a weekend of camping.
Disliked The showers were not letting out much water and the timing the water runs for is very short, however it really isn’t a major issue and when you’re camping it really is a minor thing and did not affect our stay whatsoever

Loads of activities, good allergy choices in the restaurant
Primitive grass campsite
Liked This was my 2nd stay here, we did a couple of days this time instead of 1 over night. We did the archery which was fun, ate at the restaurant this time instead of cooking, they are so much choice for coeliacs, even managed to get a proper breakfast with sausages. (Something coeliacs never get) Staff are friendly and accomodating, facilities are clean. They allow camp fires (as long as they are off the ground) so it has everything you want from a camping experience.
Disliked Can't think of anything
