Liked: Pitch good with gravel and grass generous side.
Disliked: sanitary facilities unacceptable for a large campground, loose tiles in shower with water seeping through, very low pressure when anything more than one tap is opened. No dishwashing facilities, only a cleaners sink available.

Liked: Location - 20 mins walk to train station and nice couple of villages / parks. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very quiet.
Disliked: Pricey for below average facilities. Toilet block dated, shower was a trickle. View not great. Should be half the price for what's there currently. It looks like they are developing, a little shop for basics would be nice. And toilet block needs improving. Half the price would have been happy but you can find much more beautiful spots near by with better facilities.
Thank you for your review and for highlighting the peaceful setting, friendly staff, and convenient location — we're pleased to hear you enjoyed those aspects of your stay.
We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the facilities and pricing. We completely understand that the current amenities don’t yet reflect the quality you’d expect, particularly at this price point. Since High Hermitage was recently acquired by Maguires Country Parks, we’ve begun a phased redevelopment of the site, and the toilet and shower block is a key priority for improvement. Plans are already in motion to modernise these facilities, including improved water pressure and updated interiors.
Thank you again for your feedback. We hope you’ll consider visiting us again in the future to see the positive changes as they take shape.
Great site with clean facilities, friendly staff and access to area

Liked: The arrangement so the bus stopped right outside (not at an official bus stop)
Disliked: Total lack of expected river view. Earth-moving machinery on site, active from 8.00 each morning. Out-dated toilet facilities, and no washing-up station. the fact that quite obviously campervans and caravans were not really wanted, and that static chalets were vastly more important (as well as being increased in number).
Peaceful, friendly staff Great pitches.

Liked: Peaceful setting, clean but simple facilities, relaxed environment.friendly warden. Good location
Disliked: Expensive. No washing up facilities. Gents had 1 toilet so husband had to queue even when the site was quiet. £36 a night inc.dog. for a view of building site as Park is creating a static caravan site.

Liked: The serviced pitches were high standard, fully serviced, gravel pitches. Gordon was onsite to welcome us, he was friendly and approachable and was always around for any questions. The site is a lovely tranquil site, a little haven out of the way of hustle and bustle
Disliked: Currently the site is having some upgrades. Hopefully the toilets will be included in this. They are very dated and down some steep steps which might put less mobile people off using them.

Thank you for your review and for your recommendation — we’re glad to hear you appreciated the generous pitch size and the layout of the gravel and grass areas.
We also appreciate your constructive feedback regarding the sanitary facilities. You're absolutely right that they are currently below the standard we aim to provide, and we apologise for the inconvenience this caused during your stay. Since High Hermitage was recently acquired by Maguires Country Parks, we’ve begun a programme of improvements across the site. We’re pleased to let you know that a full redevelopment of the sanitary block is next on our list of planned upgrades, which will include improved water pressure, new showers, and more appropriate washing-up facilities.
Your comments are invaluable in helping us raise the standard of the park, and we hope to welcome you back again soon to experience the improvements as they come into place.
Warm regards,
The High Hermitage Country Park Team
