Liked Location

Disliked Absolutely furious with some of the other guests blasting loud music till early hours on both nights we were there. Rang the number provided on both nights at around midnight. Guy turned up and drrove around the site and drove off. Nothing said to guests. They played loud music until 2am. About 4 groups of people. One young group also playing football in the middle of the field at 5.32am. Unbelievable..... some other guests i spoke to left that day because of the noise to find another site. 2nd night i rang him again at midnight and again drove around and nothing said to guests. I told him i had to sleep in my car at the furthest point away from the noise and still heard them at 1am. My girlfriend stayed in the tent as was too tired to move as we had done a 15 mile hike that day. Lots of people were complaining and hopefully they will also put honest reviews on too. Shower was see through and freezing. Only 3 toilets for all the guests and they were flooded.. i have taken videos but unable to put them on here. Shame. I will never come back or recommend unless you love to party until you want and no camping respect for others.

From the manager: This review is completely not factual. - Showers, the showers CLEARLY state they are not heated before you arrive. The door is not see-through if you lock the door to the whole side of the trailer, giving you a changing room also. - Noise, we spoke to many people about noise at various stages of the evening and all were happy so not sure who you spoke to on site. Both times when we came up at 11 and midnight there was no noise on site at all. Completely not factual review, please don’t come again.
