Electric optional gravel touring pitch
Liked: Great pub, good selection of drinks & nice outdoor area with woodfired pizzas and a BBQ. Safe & secure site with wonderful surroundings.
Disliked: Should have more toilets especially if outdoor pub events are on as they use the campsites toilets instead of inside the pub. On our 2 days there the toilets were flooded both mornings. They did unblock them quickly though wich was good.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch
Liked: Location was great - surrounded by beautiful countryside with walks and close to Alton Towers. The kids made friends and loved the park. Very clean and tidy site with plenty of space for the kids to play. Well organised with friendly, helpful staff.
Disliked: Hard standing pitch was slightly too small for our T6 and awning. Only 1 shower and two toilets between all campers on the site - this was also out of order for two out of our 3 mornings.

From the manager: Hi Thanks for the good review , Sorry about the Toilet issue but we attended straight away and the cause was incorrect items being put down the Loos so out of our control unfortunately. 75% of our Visitors do have there own Toilet/shower so we do cope most of the Time . But we are in the process of Building another additional toilet/Shower Block so be great to see you again when this is done etc. Regards Team Charlies
Excellent family site with everything you need for a great stay!

1 bedroom on-site touring caravan
Liked: Fabulous caravan with everything that’s required for a stay, (apart from your own bed linen) Charlie Bassett’s pub located on site serving sumptuous meals and great beers and lagers. Kev, the owner is really friendly and after giving us a run down of the facilities of the caravan took time to tell us about the fascinating history of the village.
