Liked The hut was cosey and actually had facilities that were better than expected. The fridge was bigger than expected, also didn't expect to have a plug in stove which was a nice surprise. The beds were good sizes. The lighting was good, could perhaps have done with a lamp so we could have something less bright once the kids were asleep but it was fine.

Disliked The toilets were filthy. They were marked as checked and cleaned but were covered in dirty water for the last 2 days of our stay. The rain does make it hard so if it'd had been 1 day I'd understand, but there was clearly no effort to clean. Also, there was only 2 cubicles in each toilet, which meant you often had to wait stood in the dirty water with children whilst waiting for a cubicle.
Also there were several loud parties going on late until 10pm when we were trying to get a 1 and a 4 year old to sleep. Again, I appreciate this wasn't the fault or the site, but there was no form of security to deal with the issue, and it was 3 or 4 different groups with music playing loudly into the night.
The WiFi didn't work, wasn't a huge problem as we had sufficient data.

From the manager: Thank you for your review and it’s great to hear the camping pod was ideal for you. Your comments regarding the state of the shower/toilet blocks as well as the antisocial behaviour of some of the other site visitors have been shared with the site team to look in to.

Liked Level pitches, good facilities, beautiful surroundings

Disliked The geese poo which was EVERYWHERE!!
All over the grass on our pitch and the entire site!
We spoke to reception but we were made to feel as if it was just part of the site.
Unfortunately there was so much geese poo it was difficult to step around our pitch without stepping on any :-(

Liked "We spent 3 wonderful days here. It’s a fantastic place to recharge. The whole area is tidy and nicely maintained.
Our cabin was sparkling clean and ready when we arrived.
Absolutely no complaints! We and our furry friend loved every minute of our stay. We’ll definitely be back!"

Liked Lovely little hut with a microwave, kettle and fridge. The loos are really close and the showers around reception were great.

From the manager: Thank you for your review following your stay in one of our camping pods. Your comments about the sink and spiderwebs have been shared with the site team to look in to. A link to a map is included in your arrival email and there’s also one available in reception too. We hope to see you again soon.

Liked Plentiful toilets and showers. Well-maintained grounds and amenities. Convenient location (cheap train to London from Broxbourne, good road links to M11, M25 etc). Surprisingly rural feel to the site, despite its location just on the edge of town. Friendly staff.

Disliked Entirely beyond the site’s control, some clientele were a bit loud and boisterous, particularly in communal areas - though even they did tend to tone it down after about 10pm. The goose droppings referred to elsewhere were noticeable but not particularly problematic.

Liked The staff were absolutely FANTASTIC .! From arrival ,where all our camp gear was taken to our pitch by buggy , and back to reception when we were leaving by a super bloke ,whom then rang up a taxi for us.We forget his name ,but he was great,then to find out the taxi driver would only be 10mins.,as he lived on site ,he was so nice too.Gary Brown .The pitch was very well placed for us,near to the loos and washing up.We had a great stay and would like to thank everyone.

Disliked We know there was a pre-warning about the geese , but we weren't quite prepared for all the guano,haha. The only other thing is my partner who used the lower end toilets (nearest the main gate ) , the ladies hot tap in the ladies were rarely working.Either ,when the hot tap was pressed it wouldn't move and no water,or,when pressed a trickle then nothing.Can't fault anything else.

From the manager: Thank you for our review, it’s always great to hear how friendly and helpful our staff are. Your comments regarding the problem with the tap have been shared with the site team to look into – unfortunately there’s not much we can do about the geese (they love our site too) and we do our best to manage what they leave behind. We hope you choose to stay with us again soon.

Liked Nice simple campsite. Exactly what we were looking for. Had all we needed, toilet block (nice and clean) washing up area for us campers and Quite a bit of room for the kids to just go and play and we could all relax.
