Gilt non-electric grass touring pitch (four person)
Liked: Scenery across campsite beside the canal
Disliked: Misleading website regarding campfires. Sell logs on campsite and say online you can have a campfire. Was told we cannot have a campfire and if we wanted one we would have to go to the communal area. Although no difference as still on grass field and the miles away from your tent so not the same. very squashed in campsite on top of each other also no privacy as very open area. Came here to see all the pigs as seen online many photos with loads of pigs, however only had 3 pigs in the padlock. After all these points mentioned we will not be returning. Is a shame as when we saw it online it sounded amazing. But in reality everyone is bunched together and considering it’s called the pig place we expected to see more pigs. Website/ pitchup needs to be updated with the campfire situation to prevent this happening to others. Campfires are a big part of camping and we couldn’t have one. Our fire pit was off the floor so no grass was damaged so wasn’t like we were destroying the landscape but was told needed to be distinguished straight away

Liked: We loved the location, right next to the canal and the beautiful pigs. The bar, shop and cafe were exceptional. It also welcomes motorcycles, which is always a bonus for two-wheeled travellers.

Boar electric grass touring pitch (six person)
Liked: The canal!
Disliked: Unfortunately this was the most over priced, horrible campsite I've visited. Squashed in to a small, lop-sided field alongside some poor pigs (who the owner proudly informed me, ended up in the shop fridge...). Although we had paid over the odds for this site we were told there was no showers, only one tap, a couple of porter cabins and no electric sockets, because they were all used up! We left before we got trapped, loosing our payment but feeling free from the possibility of ending up like just another pig in a pen...!!

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to write a review regarding your very brief visit to our campsite. Upon receipt of your review I carried out an investigation into your experience and was told that the main problem upon your arrival was the discovery that there were no showers on site which greatly upset a member of your party. The fact that we do not have showers on site is clearly shown in the description of the site on PitchUp and mentioned several times in the reviews, our listing also states that we are not on mains water but have a borehole for drinking water and seven portable toilets. I particularly object to the "some poor pigs" comment when we clearly state that we are a working smallholding and our pigs are kept in the highest welfare standards. There was an electric hook up available for you, so stating there was not is complete fabrication. I believe that your disparaging review is a result of being told that a refund would not be issued for your stay over a bank holiday weekend just because you have not read the site description in full.
Read carefully site rules as advised

Liked: Friendly owners, good size pitches
Disliked: Constant road noise. Website says campfires allowed however barely allowed us to have a BBQ by our pitch. Camping without a fire is not camping. Bar and shop overpriced. Original booking got cancelled and got moved, wanted to add another day got charged double
