Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Very clean, especially the showers and toilets, wifi at the pitch was excellent.
Disliked: Pitch was on a bit of a slope and had to use large wooden blocks even with the auto level, but it wasn't really a problem as we knew this before we arrived.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted you found the site clean and enjoyed the excellent WiFi right at your pitch — we know how important that is these days.
We appreciate you mentioning the slope; while some of our pitches do have a bit of an incline, it’s great to hear it didn’t cause any major issues for you, especially since you came prepared.
We hope to welcome you back again soon.

Liked: Immaculate grounds
Clean shower block
Beautiful views
Disliked: The games barn was very disappointing.
The pool table ripped, the cues broke. The pool balls hacked away at! No darts. No ball for skittles.
We paid £205 for 3 nights so was very disappointed for our 15 year old.

From the manager: Thank you for your review and for highlighting the immaculate grounds, clean facilities, and beautiful views — we're really glad those aspects of your stay stood out.
We're truly sorry to hear about your experience with the games barn. It’s important to us that all our amenities are in good condition, especially for families and teenagers looking for entertainment during their stay. We have found the darts and ball, that some little darlings had removed from the barn, We have also now purchased a brand new pool table (again, free to use).
Your feedback is valuable and helps us improve. We hope you'll consider visiting us again so we can provide a more complete experience next time.
