Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked - the country house itself was very pretty
- spacious site
Disliked - only 2 toilets and 1 shower
- the staff allowed a rave to go on until midnight on a family site, also children were not challenged when they broke into the bouncy castle and played on it in the pitch black at 11pm.
- smell of cannabis
- as soon as another member of the party got out of the car she was approached by a member of staff with a card machine who asked her to pay 10 pounds for her child to play on the zip line.
- a TRACTOR came around the site to collect bin bags.
- no allocation of lots, it seems random and unorganised.
- karaoke went on until mid night
- staff came round to tell everyone that kids club starts at 10 at night.
This site may seem relaxing by the pictures however it is not a place to go if you want a good night's sleep or a relaxing environment. Very expensive for managing to get to sleep at 1/2 am each night.

Overall perfect site so glad we found it and cant wait to come back
1 bedroom treehouse (deluxe)
Liked We came to the tree house for our wedding anniversary and Wow the tree house is beautiful i can not fault it one bit. There is a few different areas for a fire and when lit up on a night its even more magical.
The site it self is amazing we came without the kids but still walked aroumd and watched the staff play and interact with all the kids.
Staff is so friendly and will help with anything possible.
We are definatly bringimg our caravan here with the kids in the near future and will be back to stay in the tree house again.
Disliked Could do with a little sign in reception to say please sit and wait as when i went to check in there was anotjer couple there that didnt know what to do. Staff must of been helping to site people as no one was in reception

Feels like this site is caught between a wedding venue and camp site.
Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Helpful staff
Toilet and shower well maintained and clean
Money is going into a new zip line.
Nice bar area but expensive. Nearly £5 for a can of budget end beer.
Disliked Lack of showers and toilet facilities for the number of pitches. 1 shower and 2 toilets.
Only one sink for washing up.
Grass needs to be maintained around pitches. Long and seemed to be an area where a large bonfire had been in the middle.
Extra charge for children's play activities e.g. trampoline, bouncy castle.

Liked Staff were pleasant, kids enjoyed themselves.
Disliked Paid extra for the inflatables which were extremely dirty and in very poor condition. The ladders were missing from the bottom so my son couldn’t climb up. Bouncy castle also scruffy. Very noisy with traffic due to being on a main road, only 2 toilets and 1 shower, no waste disposal and no hard standing pitches. It was basically a field not really a camp site in my opinion. Smells very strongly of cow Pooh think it could be a working farm.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Brilliant campsite, excellent hosts extremely friendly couldn’t do enough for us. Plenty to do, very relaxing. Lovely weekend. We will definitely be back!
Disliked That there was only one toilet for campers and you could see through the cracks in the door. Wasn’t a major thing but could be improved. Everything else was superb
