Me gustó Lovely quiet site

Me gustó Lovely spacious pitches and showers. Well presented entrance and shop, sadly didn’t get a chance to try the cafe but looked good from the walk past.

No me gustó Bathrooms were a bit messy, no toilet brushes for the previous occupant to clean marks left in the bowl. Also the bathrooms were left a bit smelly. Dog friendly but cannot walk around the lakes and no dog friendly areas marked out.

Del administrador: Thank you for the review.
Dogs can be walked around the lakes once fishing has finished for the day and can be walked on our field on a lead. This is communicated in our confirmation email so apologies if you missed this. We have replaced the toilet brushes in the toilets and also refurbed the shower block. Our toilets are cleaned very regularly, but unfortunately, we can't check them after every visitor...

Me gustó Peaceful quiet site with plenty of space. Toilet and shower block heated. No traffic noise

No me gustó Postcode provided when on SatNav only directs to M69. Have to input village and street name. Problems with the electric hook up as the designated box wasn’t working, trip switch very flaccid and as I arrived after 4pm unable to get help. Mobile number provided for Out of Hours came back as incorrect. Had to use another hook up point and even had to check that later that night

Del administrador: Thank you for the review. We do include directions to use in our confirmation email, stating to not use the postcode due to this issue. Apologies if you missed this! The out of hours number is definitely correct so again, apologies if you had issues with this. All posts have now been repaired also.

Me gustó Lovely quiet and clean

No me gustó Hookup points are a little too far around 15m especially when the grass is wet and muddy. Potholes could do with filling in

Del administrador: Thanks for the review! We have already begun filling the potholes...it was unfortunately too wet for us to this any earlier due to the copious amounts of rain.

Me gustó Nice open site, good facilities friendly staff

No me gustó Nothing really, weather was poor very wet causing water logged grass around hardstanding

Me gustó Easy site to book, stayed last weekend and agin this weekend. Close shops, great fishing. Loads of room for dog on 20m lead outside van. Toilets/showers clean, washing up area nice and clean and well lit. You are given a gate code so no probs after the 4pm deadline

No me gustó They could do with sorting some pot holes out, it’s not really a dislike but to be mentioned.

Me gustó Great size pitch, toilets realky clean and warm in the block, there were only 2 showers (female) one was broken however the one that worked was lovely rain fall shower head. Great views of the lakes. Nice outdoor washing up area under cover.

No me gustó Needs a bench/seating area in the shower room. Grass was very boggy take your wellies. Some of the electric points are broken it was very hit and miss. Could really do with an electric point upgrade and more of them.

Del administrador: Thanks for your review. We have benches on order at the moment for the showers. There's not been a lot we can do about the rain unfortunately...We have also repaired the posts now too.

Me gustó The pitches were indeed spacious. I can’t say anything much about walks etc as suggested by the app because the site was pretty boggy due to the volume of rain. I stayed here during my first week at a new job & as the NEC show was on, there wasn’t much else available with power & hard standing & showers in the area.

No me gustó Potholes - Wow they were a lot on the site roads. Admittedly there’s potholes everywhere at the moment but the site had a lot of them in a small area making the drive very bumpy.

Me gustó Close to water if I wanted to fish, toilet/showers close to most hard standing pitches. They previous people that have left bad reviews saying electric posts are damaged I didn’t see any of that.

Makins sent me a welcome txt message with gate code, yep I didn’t see anyone but I didn’t need to! It was all there

No me gustó Toilets are in good condition but could do with a more regular clean. There was muddy sinks but bear in mind this is a well known fishing destination, anglers probably nip up for a cheeky wash and …. You know what! It’s to be expected but o do think more often wc inspections or code locks added to the doors for camping only.
