Liked It is a working farm. The site has been well thought out and the pitches are dry, despite the storm and torrential rain. The toilets and showers were clean and tidy.

Disliked I think that dutch people are taller than Welsh people! My wife couldn’t reach the hooks for clothes in the shower. 😁

Liked Toilet block was clean. Staff and visitors were friendly. It was efficiently run. A short distance to Colchester by vehicle.

Disliked Calling it a country park is misleading. It’s an urban campsite with very little dog walking available - only along the road and between pitches. We didn’t find a way of walking to Colchester. Giving a distance as the crow flies is misleading and it doesn’t say you’d be walking along a dual carriageway. The road noise is intrusive, especially at night. The fast, busy road has a concrete surface with strips which make the noise worse. We cut short our stay from 2 nights to one.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. You obviously missed the beautiful field and the vast woodland both a five minute walk from the site. Colchester City is about a 40 minute walk across open grassland or there are buses that run every 10 minutes. We are ideally situated for easy access to transport links.

Liked Pitches were OK, but a bit narrow. Showers and toilets were clean with enough hot water. 4G reception was good.

Disliked There were no pegs in the showers to hang clothes, just 2 small hanging buckets. The shower spray reached the door, so it was difficilt to keep your clothes dry.

It is very much in our nature to listen to our guests and continue making improvements across the park wherever possible. We do hope to welcome you back again soon

Liked Convenient location. Pleasant owner. Warm, clean toilets and shower (in January). Hard standing with electricity and water on the pitch.

Disliked The orchard grass was very wet - including standing water (it was after a very wet spell of weather) which resulted in wet feet when walking the dogs to go for a pee before going to bed (should have stuck to the road ! 😬).

Liked Clean & tidy. The showers were exceptional. The cafe was good. Food was good, if a little restricted. Staff were pleasant & helpful. It was nice to see the canal boats. Easy to manoeuvre and park. Plenty of space. Level pitches.

Disliked If I was being picky, it was a bit industrial. Could do with some hedges around the pitches.

Liked Spectacular scenery. Walks from the campsite - with the dogs often off-lead. Great level pitches. Helpful staff.

Disliked The price of eating out in Switzerland 😳.

Liked Huge site. Pitches large and surrounded by shrubs & trees. Dog walking off lead from the site. Helpful friendly staff. Level pitches.

Disliked The volume of the live entertainment was a bit much for us. The shower block could do with updating.

Liked Nice views of the sea. Walking distance from the beach. Clean & tidy. Not TOO tidy - the occasional weed made the place feel relaxed. Good field and pond where the dogs could run off-lead. Level pitches.
