Liked Clean site
Great views
Flat pitches
Good fun for the kids with an arcade room and play activities outside
Disliked Shame you need to book and pay for the swimming pool with an app but it’s clearly displayed when booking so no major problem.
We had to wait 20 minutes for a guy in a golf card to show us our pitch when really reception could have just said which pitch number to go to. I don’t understand why this process is in place as at busy check in times it causes us to wait in the heat and blockages in the car park. When he showed us our pitch he did not tell us anything special so still unsure.

From the manager: Hi Mike,
Many thanks for your review. We are pleased to hear that you found our site to be clean and tidy and hope that many family memories were made. We have the warden to pitch our guests for a number of reasons. To be brief, it manages traffic around our site so not everyone is heading the same way at the same time. We do also have quite strict pitching rules in line with fire regulations so we have to ensure that guests are pitched correctly and also not all of our pitches are the same size so we double check that the pitches suit your needs at the same time. We do hope that this clears things up, however we do apologise for the wait.

Nice site, good facilities, reasonable location
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Facilities, cleanliness
Disliked Top camping field is not level and I slid down the bed every night. Unofficial rave on Saturday night finishing about 8 in the morning. I know this isnt the responsibility of the site but apparently it is fairly regular so worth bearing in mind. Finding out that if I had booked directly rather than through Pitchup, I could have had 3 nights for the price of 2

From the manager: Hi Bob,
Many thanks for your review. We are pleased to hear that you found the site to be clean and tidy. We are sorry that you were disturbed by the off-site noise. This is completely outside of our control and can assure you that this is not a regular occurrence. We had staff working overnight to find the source of the rave and to get police on the scene as promptly as we could. We do hope that this hasn't put you off visiting us and we hope to welcome you back again.
