Facilities

The amount of space for the kids to play and explore where they were still in eyesight was great, it meant they could have fun while we relaxed.
Lovely staff and a nice pub

Only slight criticism which didnt affect our stay at all was on of the paths had lots of rubble some of which were bits of porcelain etc but this had been put down to help drainage.

Friendly service. Catered to vegetarians. Great pub/club house.

We had a lovely stay we were only looking for basic accommodation as we were using it as a base

Location peaceful, locals friendly

Apart from the Stabbing on site which is not the campsite fault although I believe this could have been prevented with rules and staff doing the rounds to ensure all was ok and rules were being followed, the male toilets were blocked and over flowing all over the floor which the owners were aware off but left it until the next day to clear without even warning sign on the door. Only two male toilets, 3 female and 3 freezing showers for a campsite of this size is very poor. The pub needs a serious update although the little time that was spend in there all customers and staff appeared friendly but when your arm gets stuck to the table the cleanliness appears not to be at its best. There is drinking water we were told not to drink it as it was stagnant and unpleasant so be prepared with bottled water. It appeared to be a free for all on the site with no room. No marked out pitches which would have made such a difference. Electric hook up was a bit of a mission with wires trailing everywhere. The site itself needs clearing as abandoned caravans, timber and rubble spoil what could be quite nice. The disabled toilet is very misleading as anyone with a wheelchair would be unable to access this as to get to it you had to go through two standard doors and two steps... This could be a nice site so its very disappointing.

We stayed for 4 nights and it was a nice relaxing atmosphere. The staff are very friendly, the showers are clean, as are the toilets.

It’s not really a dislike, but the on site WiFi didn’t really work and phone signal isn’t very good, which can be expected as the site is surrounded by fields and not much else.

Food in pub and good quality ales. Friendly staff.

Toilets constantly blocked, not cleaned properly and very run down. So don't believe the being updating comments as they were being done on last year's reviews also. Showers while reasonably modern were plumbed backwards so you had to go past the anti scald stop to go colder not hotter be warned. Pitches not designated and electric on 8 way boards so setting out was a free for all cables everywhere and little separation on plots.
No site rules mean people loud till early hours, during our stay till 4am until someone got stabbed for asking for people to be quiet. Which resulted in a quite interesting day with the police on site.
All in all I would say this site needs a good couple of weeks of being completely shut to get its act together sort the toilets out and set out proper plots.
Everyone being signed in should be given rules and a number to contact in case of any serious breaches.
It could easily be a diamond in the rough but currently its nearer the rough.

Locality to Home

Dirty Toilets & showers, cramped and overcrowded pitches, terrain is uneven and mixed surfaces. Pub needs seriously updating. Stabbing on site whilst we were there. Didn’t seem to have any groundsmen keeping an eye on music levels - stabbing could of been prevented

Great, clean basic site with very friendly owners. Lovely meal in the pub which has very affordable prices

Needs some boundary markings to pitch to
