The Orchards Holiday Park

A aimé : Site was very clean tidy and quiet. We had a hardstanding pitch with electric hook up. It was good almost perfectly level and plenty of space for our van and awning. Staff were polite friendly and helpful. We booked at the end of the season and the site shuts down at the end of October so we were one of 8 vans staying there. Site is very quiet at night and very dark. Facilities were scaled back due to reduced numbers of guests but the shop indoor pool, central showers wash up and self service laundry were all open and spotlessly clean and tidy. There are no off site local facilities in the area.Good facilities for kids. Areas to exercise dogs on site and easy access to walks nearby. Bus stop right outside the site has regular busses even on Sundays. Would certainly recommend and look to stay again.

A aimé : Indoor and outdoor pool were free to use unlike lots of other sites where you have to pay extra. The play park was enjoyed by our kids too. Quiet campsite lovely apple trees and views of the countryside.

N'a pas aimé: Perhaps when more people are staying facilities would have been too busy, we had to wait a while before being allowed into the outdoor pool as it was a nice day. Maybe timed entry or booking would be better?

A aimé : This is a lovely campsite with spacious tent pitches. The shower and toilet facilities are fabulous with added separate cubicles for brushing teeth/make-up/dry hair. The washing-up facility has everything you need, from several sinks to washing machines/tumble driers and extra accesible showers and the view from the windows will make you put your hands up for washing up everytime there are dishes to be done. There are two swimming pools- we mostly used the indoor one as that felt warmer but the outdoor looked great too. The view is lovely from this campsite and everything is within easy reach, incl shop and playrooms (pool, table tennis). Overall this campsite has everything you need for a comfortable camping holiday.

N'a pas aimé: I am giving 5 stars overall as we had a great time on this campsite using many of their fabulous facilities. If you are after a quieter camping experience, this place feels a busy one and some of the pitches, like the one we got, are very near the toilet/shower and pool facilities. There are hedges in front of the shower/toilet blocks but around these pitches it gets very busy with people walking/running and being generally noisy. Regarding the pool, we met three members of staff, and two of them were not the friendliest. The lady however was very kind and helpful.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your lovely review. Being aimed at families we are extremely busy in August and unfortunately not all guests have good camping etiquette. If you would like to visit us again please feel free to give us a call and discuss your requirements and we may be able to allocate a pitch which is less "busy". I am disappointed that two out of three pool staff were not as friendly as they should be and will be " having a word" to ensure they are better in the future. We look forward to seeing you again.

A aimé : Friendly staff, nice warm pools, good clean facilities all round, great pitch with ample space, takeaway food on site was nice. Good access to water and refuse facilities all over. Activities available for children as well - with a very safe feeling to the site.

A aimé : Facilities were excellent, indoor and outdoor pools were great. Toilet/shower blocks very clean and well set out. Laundry and washing facilities also excellent. Shop on site plus pool table, table tennis and play area!

N'a pas aimé: Pool closure at lunchtime 1-2pm every day. Poor Wi-Fi coverage.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your lovely review. Unfortunately our wifi isn't great for overall coverage but has a "hotspot" by the shop. We do need to close the pools at lunchtime for the staff to take a break, we find that the majority of guests are out at that time with many returning around 4pm. We hope to see you again.

A aimé : Beautiful site with spacious pitches. Lovely facilities clean and tidy. Lovely helpful staff.
