Disliked: It was bankholiday and we had neighbours very close to our pod. We haven't seen the owner of the camping but we hope for others there will be but more space around the pod because of noise.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. I am glad to see the list of what you liked, -Peace and quiet -Big individual pitches -Picnic benches and fire pits -The honesty shop All of which are great to hear and the reason guests comeback time after time. As to your Dislikes, I will answer them below, however I am glad others will be able to read for themselves my regularity and reliability with constant 10-10 high reviews. You stated - "shower and toilets often dirty and showers blocked" As anyone can see from my reviews, cleanliness is always marked very good. I check and clean the above areas a number of times a day and guests often leave comments as to how nice and clean everything is, so I do not accept your incorrect comments. "stuff that xcampers accidentally left behind not cleared all week" Yes, there was a bag of plastic cups and plates and cutlery left in communal kitchen area, and when I checked the bag daily, items were being removed and replaced during the week, therefore, I was under the impression a guest was still using the items, hence why it was not removed by myself at the time of your stay. "one shower leaked the whole week" Yes there was a constant drip from a shower head and due to a valve in the electric shower unit that was letting water. The unit was still under warranty following a shower upgrade and recent refit and was thus awaiting a service engineer to replace the valve. The visit was booked as a matter of urgency. I apologise the engineer did not arrive during your stay as planed, however Instead of closing the shower and putting it out of order, I made the decision to leave it open as it was still in working order and I didn't want to disappoint anyone by closing a shower. Finally - I don't quite understand why you also marked the following so low - your accommodation, seeing you brought along your own tent! - facilities /activities, there were leaflets available on trips and activities off site, apologies I do not run any activities on site, perhaps researching more before booking future camping trips may assist you.
Excellent, clean, green and quiet

Hill Top camping pod (no pets)
Liked: Pods were excellent for our stay. Great views and well equipped 'utility' area to use with it. Just the job. Camping area also looked like the pitches were spacious with plenty of space for the children to run around.
