Ponden Mill

A aimé The vibe, atmosphere and personality of this site shine through in every little corner. There must be a lot of love for this place by the admirably friendly people who run this site. Facilities are clean and the owners think about where its best for you to pitch creating pockets of privacy on a relatively small site. There are little secret spots in the paths winding down which feel like a fairytale and feed curiosity. There is enough to explore in the surrounding villages. We recommend taking the steam train. Great footpath and walking area’s nearby.

N'a pas aimé There is only one shower on site so I guess it will ask of guests to time their showers and as there wasn’t a table or baby change we had to get a little bit creative getting our 10 month old baby dressed but… an under bed storage box did do a great job for a bath and the lid with a towel on worked as a changing mat on the floor. But really there isn’t anything to dislike, just some things that would make life a tiny bit easier.

A aimé The location

N'a pas aimé Where do I start, firstly I am not in the business of trying to ruin people’s livelihood however how on earth does this site get an 8 + rating is beyond me. Our two “ hard standing “ pitches were patches of grass next to the stream one at 90 degrees to the other and a stones throw from the car park. To be fair the one pitch was quite nice but the other adjacent to the road leading to the tent field was less than private and with a not pleasant view of the frequently busy car park. We could accept this no problem as we were only there for two nights but what was totally unacceptable in my opinion was the state of the facilities. The one male toilet was constantly dirty, ( the floor was muddy ) did not appear to have been cleaned throughout our visit, there was no running hot water just a cold tap with a very grubby sink. There was no way I would entertain washing or cleaning my teeth there. That brings me onto the one shower available, I am not fussy by any means but one step inside and the musty damp smell that’s hits you made me avoid it for the duration of our stay, the sealant around the base was black and I dread to think when the shower head was last renewed, a hygeine issue waiting to happen. Serious money needs to be spent completely renovating the facilities they really are not acceptable and are by far the worst we have experienced in our many years of camping. We will not return and I can’t in all honesty recommend this site to anyone please do not believe everything you read in the reviews as I did

A aimé Lovely people who are very welcoming & helpful. Nice clean toilets. Great washing up area.

N'a pas aimé Very hard standing for an awning. No grass pitch as advertised, only for tents. Public walk was not passable due to thistles. Chemical waste was blocked. No signal at all. Lots of midges.

A aimé Lovely, well kept site. Perfect for adults.
Toilets and shower are clean and the site wasn't very busy so the one shower was fine.

N'a pas aimé Not so welcoming owner. Wasn't so helpful when arriving, male owner much more friendly and helpful.
States it's a family friendly site but from the off it felt like she had a problem with the children. Children were shouted at but she did not come to speak to us and later in the afternoon sent another lady (really lovely and understanding) to speak to us.
Maybe this should be an adult only site?

A aimé Site location, layout, facilities, friendliness of owners, helpful staff.

N'a pas aimé Not strictly a dislike. No provision of grey water dumping yet. Owner advised us to use drainage channel at edge of site which was fine.
