This large, well-kept site offers spacious pitches, clean facilities, and friendly staff. Guests enjoyed the shop, restaurant, pool, and play area. Some noted potential noise, dated facilities, and spotty WiFi. Management is addressing issues like dog waste and facility upkeep.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Loved the friendly welcome and location of the site. Pitch was easily accessible. Shower facilities were excellent. Had meals a couple of evenings in the restaurant and they catered for gluten free which was great. Prices of the food in keeping with other pubs. We were able to take the dog into the restaurant therefore not having to worry about it being in the caravan alone. Pool and gym were available to use all day as long as a pool session was booked.
Disliked Realising this site is large and has many static van with needs we did find that moving said static vans was noisy and done before 8am. Also other work involving the JCB was carried out again before 8am and this meant we were disturbed and woken early on 2 occasions bearing in mind this was our holiday weekend. Also no WiFi coverage at our pitch. Gym is very tired and needs updating and some machines were out of order.

From the manager: Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're delighted you enjoyed the warm welcome, convenient pitch, excellent shower facilities, and gluten-free dining options. It's great to hear the dog-friendly restaurant and pool access added to your stay.
We're sorry about the early morning noise and gym condition—your comments are noted and will be shared with the team. We'll also look into the WiFi coverage at your pitch to improve connectivity.
Best wishes, Team Verdant
I would re think next time that if the facilities are not working move

Liked Pitches are spacious and tidy
Disliked Toilet Elsan point were overflowing on arrival and we had to use hole in ground. Same next day when refilling the water tank and then cleaning out cassette for onward trip. We were there in March 2025 and there were no showers available due to fault, we had to go to leisure centre and use those. We were both freezing by time we got back. But no comments or communications either time.

From the manager: Thank you for your honest feedback. We're glad you appreciated the spacious and tidy pitches. We're very sorry to hear about the issues with the Elsan point and shower facilities, and especially the lack of communication during your stay. This isn't the experience we aim to provide, and your comments will be passed on to the team for review and improvement.
Best wishes, Team Verdant
