Liked: Nice level tidy site with good amenities. Great place to stay for a family, with a games room, garden play equipment and a locked gate. Beautiful countryside with lots of lovely places to visit.
Disliked: The site is near to a very noisy road. It's a small site and can be noisy near the games room, so probably not great for people who want a quiet place to stay. Toilets and showers are in sheds with gaps in the wood, making you feel a bit exposed. There wasn't enough toilets and showers, and we had to queue to get to a basin at times. At night the lights went off when we were in the shower/toilet and we had to run outside to make the lights come back on.

From the manager: Hi Sarah, Thank you for your review and feedback on our campsite. Positive or negative, we appreciate it, as we always like to know where we can improve. We’re so sorry you felt the site was too noisy for you. When you came we had some lovely families there, all just making the most of the little sunshine we’ve had this year. We did have free pitches and would have been more than happy to move you if you had requested this. We are on site everyday and a member of staff lives on-site, any problems can be quickly spoken about and addressed, it’s such a shame you felt you couldn’t speak to us whilst you were there. We have a 24/7 phone number for any emergencies also, we’re always ready to help. We saw you a few times whilst we were cleaning the pods and lodges, perhaps you didn’t recognise us as we are the cleaners too 🙂 Regarding your point about the showers, somehow the sensor for the light had been moved around so it wasn’t picking up any motion whilst you were in the shower. Please accept our apologies and thank you for pointing that out; we really do appreciate it. Also, we are just wondering if you saw the second shower block? It’s located at the bottom of the site, which you can see on the site map. We have investigated the ‘gaps’ in the wood. There were 2 very small gaps, but you can’t see through them. We filled them anyway for everyone’s peace of mind. Again, thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. At any point, all of these issue’s could have been dealt with straight away by asking in person or by calling the number 😊 Again, we’re so sorry you didn’t enjoy your stay. But we hope, knowing we’re always there to help, you’d reconsider staying again. Kindest regards Matt and Natalie

Liked: Amazing accommodation with the bonus of a secure private outside space which was very much appreciated by our puppy. Was able to watch bats fly around the garden and spotted a barn owl fly over. Lovely and clean and tidy, friendly hosts and great facilities!

Electric grass and gravel tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Beautiful facilities, the picnic benches with each pitch is a great addition. Very child safe with electric gates. Well maintained pitches, we have already booked again.
Disliked: The only recommendation would be a slightly different flooring when you step out the shower, maybe a wooden slatted base or something to stand on that feels better than the concrete.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Many thanks for your lovely review! We're glad you enjoyed your stay and happy that you have booked again! We completely agree with your comment and we have now placed a wooded slatted base down. We appreciate this feedback and we're always more than happy to rectify any issues. Kindest regards Natalie and Matt
