Peaceful site in dire need of some TLC
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked The size of the pitch was really generous.
There are some fabulous circular walks from the site which were enjoyed with our dog.
This was a peaceful site for the most part. There were some parties around that we could hear but they finished at reasonable time.
Fantastic pub in the village Tickled Trout food was delicious staff were lovely.
Disliked We weren’t greeted at any point but had good text directions and instructions the day before and day of our arrival.
Hedges very untidy and way too high.
Hard standing required weeding.
The Elsan point was in a shed that was difficult to unbolt and high off the ground.
Waste water area was untidy and in disrepair. Bin area just a jumble of numerous bins.
The whole site was in great need of some TLC which is a shame as it has great potential.
Unsure why it calls itself a Country Park.
The fishing lakes beside the site were fabulous but there was no easy access from the pitches making it less attractive. Very disappointed in it and definitely not value for money. I guess the fees haven’t changed since the facilities block fell into disuse. Can’t emphasise enough how beautiful this could be if some tension was given to these areas.

An enjoyable stay in a great location with walks from the site.
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked The pitches were spacious, well spaced and having our own individual water supply made life easier. The site was clean and tidy with well mown grass. Night time security was okay with locked gates. Level pitches.
Disliked The hedges around the pitches were a bit too high and imposing. The padlock on the gates at night was fiddly and time consuming. The site would have benefited with lighting at the gate, chemical disposal point and in general.

Dismal.
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked The tree-lined, enclosed pitches offer ample privacy and the delightful sounds of birdsong.
Prompt response to text messaged queries.
Disliked The gate is broken.
The electric hookup is functional, but dirty and partially obscured by trees.
The on-site cafe is actually a 10-minute walk away, through the Fisheries.
There are many huts, buildings etc that appear to be abandoned.
There is no visible staff.
There is no country club.

10/10 top quality site
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Incredible site - visited numerous times over the past year. Highly recommend.
Private pitches, peace and quiet (usually see below)! Joanne is very welcoming, pubs in the area are superb.
Disliked Really hoping this place doesn’t get overrun with the entitled idiots that found their way on this bank holiday. One person found it okay to pitchup on someone’s pitch despite us telling him someone was on it and their electric cable was plugged in. We made him aware of a spare pitch but “he liked the look” of the one he stole so took it despite it clearly being first come first served pick your own pitch. Also please reconsider allowing the panel van camper type conversions as the one next to us drove us insane with the door sliding open and closing numerous times during the night!

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Great little site and we liked the privacy of the pitches with having our dogs with us, which made it relaxing all round.
Beautiful scenery and great walks for us all.
We enjoyed sitting outside the lakeside cafe and watching those who were fishing.
We enjoyed it so much, we've booked to go for another weekend.
Disliked Better signage for the entrance on Overlees.
