N'a pas aimé We arrived Monday we was off to a great start until she told up we had to pitch our 9m air tent on a what was supposed to be a universal hard standing pitch. However it was absolutely horrid kids couldn’t walk on the floor due to pebbles popping up and the tie wraps. Would not recommend unless you are on pitch 1-3 as these are grass and 4-8 are not. There is duck poo all over and even covering the park. So we left early

Réponse du gestionnaire : When you made your booking back in March we only had grass ehu pitches.
April onwards we brought in a number of changes to our pitches.
Moving forward from then you can only book on pitchup exactly what you want. Pitch wise.
That said we have had many tents pitch on n over the hardstanding with no issues.
If you had come to discuss matters with us we would have suggested pitching directly behind your pitch on a grass area.
You claimed it was horrid yet did 3 out of your4 nights.
You score us low customer service but gave us nothing to manager. This is unfair.
We have free range geese. There is gonna be some mess.
This usually gets washed in boarding or pitches up when mowing. Neither of which we have had.
Agaiin though. There currently is no grass in the play area so the geese have spent far less time in there and there is no muck in play area.
We too have listened to some minority concerns and we are introducing a new play area, fenced in, in 2027.
We feel too that your other scores are unfair.
The location is beautiful, secluded and surrounded by forest.
We are still siting in the cheaper levels of the market despite offering far more than other sites
And as for cleanliness you contributed to your own judgement of us. In that the level of litter you left on your pitch was disgusting and not called for

A aimé Lovely site, stayed here about 5 times. The owners are so lovely and such a welcoming environment. The animals are well cared for and friendly. Particularly the pink parrot that kept chirping at me to keep stroking its head.

A aimé Our second year here. Absolutely love the place. Lovely working farm with a lake/pond u can fish and lots of ducks. Range of animals. Has toilets, shower blocks, small bar area and shop with few essentials to buy. Staff very friendly and so welcoming. Will be back next year.

N'a pas aimé I personally dont dislike anything. Each to their own. Internet signal can be a bit poor, no bother for me but some people with children may find that frustrating with kids not being able to survive without internet.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Lovely fair review thankyou.
We do state there is no wifi but amazed by how many ask for it and appear distraught thst there isn't any

Very kind 🌻🌻

A aimé The rustic, rule free approach. The animals are in the main, interesting and entertaining.
The ponds are great for fishing, (although the water level was a little bit low).
The pitches are fairly level and spacious.

N'a pas aimé The Geese are a problem in the sense that they soil wherever, and you do end up with dirty camping equipment.

A aimé Individual toilets and showers, although they weren’t at all clean, I did like that they weren’t part of a ‘block’ which gave more privacy. Each of the EHU pitches had their own bench. Fishing shop on site. Some of the animals very friendly and my daughter was able to hold one when the staff were there, the small shop inside the bar is very fairly priced, as is the fishing shop.

N'a pas aimé Toilets not cleaned during our stay, there was a dirty towel and wash cloth in there for 3 days. Only 2 toilet/showers had working lights, bins overflowing and covered in flies, goose shit EVERYEWHERE so kids couldn’t run about or play with footy etc, over booked our stay so only hard standing pitch available despite us booking grass pitch in advance, animal enclosures not really fit for purpose. Donkeys only had stagnant, green water, in 30 degree weather - the family next door to us took them some fresh water.
The smell is not nice, obviously they are a farm and some smell is to be expected, but we have stayed on farms/animal rescues and never had any problems with smells.
Owners dogs barking 24/7 as left in garden at the top of farm- I have 3 dogs so am used to barking dogs, they were relentless on a night.
The whole farm is very sandy/dirty as mentioned in previous reviews, we weren’t keen on that but didn’t make things too bad; kids however get filthy when playing- there is also a quite aggressive sign about ‘minging and dirty’ kids in the bathroom.
Some springs are missing on the trampoline in the park, very dangerous if a little leg goes down there.
We still paid £50 for fishing, despite finding out that the owner pulled 60lbs of dead fish out of the pond a couple of days before we arrived, not a well stocked lake, didn’t catch many at all- under 10 over 4 days. Campers next to us paid and went to a fishing lake close by instead.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Absolute claptrap.
Toilets not wasn't in four days.!!! On the days josie was not rushed into hospital josie washed them every day. The day she was rushed into hospital I, Ian washed them.
The towel and wash towel was hung outside on the rail to try and be reclaimed rather than simply being binned.
The bins were overflowed because the addition bins requested from the council were delivered late. But we had already removed the surplus rubbish out of sight.
What was your reason that you left your full bags of rubbish on your pitch, for others to remove?
We have had no rain nor any grass to mow.
As such there is more goose mess than usual but that said I observed your family playing football on a of occasions. I too moved the benches back for others to use following them being moved for kids to play football !!.
They day before your arrival and discussed a number of options, including a grass pitch area, so disappointed that you have been very selective on this issue.
DEFRA & RSPCAhave worked very closely with us over the last 12 months and we have a clean bill of health.
Apologies that you are more qualified and higher than thou , seemingly knowing better than both these governing bodies.
Donkeys get fresh water twice a day. But if you had any concerns why not raise it with their carers rather than use it as part of your keyboard assassination.
Shows right caring that NOT.
The dogs at the top are not even out at night so another factual inominally.
If you had followed our social media you eoild have known that we have extensively ripped up and regressed all area.
We unfortunately have had no rain in over 3 months. So like the rest of the country we are agsin very dusty. Please ask God for some rain when you are next discussing the righteousness.
Sadly we did lose some fish due to air pressure and oxygen levels.
Yes we did lose approx 60lb but for a lake as large and stocked as ours this is a minimal amount.
Despite your claim the lake is well stocked.
This is based on fact, your so called fact is based on you not catching.
Hmmmm.
Plenty of campers and school kids have caught fish this week.
I have literally just come away ftom the lake where a new beginner has just caught 4 fish in no time and his mate 18 in last hour or so.
Please dont use your lack of skill or talent to judge a venue.
It is not uncommon to visit other fisheries.
I do that myself when away fishing.
I have recommended local fisheries to many campers as I know how good they are.
Why wouldn't I?

So many points of your review are lies and false claims, not opinion.
As such I disputed it but without Pitchup giving me a fair and equal chance to respond they have republished this review without even talking to me. Despite me providing my number.
A number that they have now published, breaching GDPR. But what do we matter. We only make them their money.
Fair and unbalanced processes my Arse.

I will take and accept any fair and/or honest feedback but submit summat untrue and not a fair reflexion I was come back at you.

A aimé We loved our stay and definitely coming back. Lovely lovely place. Plenty of animals (happy ones) play area, bar, shop, the showers and toilets were very well looked after, hosts were amazing, all 5 ⭐️ from mums and their children (age 4-7)

A aimé All the staff was friendly, and very informative.
I was told how all the money they get from the site goes on to feed the animals.

All the animals, getting up close to the pigs and all the other animals.
