A aimé Fishing, helpful staff, the tackle shop and location

N'a pas aimé NO BBQ’s Please ban disposable BBQ but let us reasonable off the ground users enjoy there holiday, in the hot dry weather fine ban all.
The pitches a bit to close together.

A aimé Friendly arrival, good advice and info. Only stayed for one night, but arrived as soon as able to take advantage of the fishing another lake behind our EHU pitch. A couple of very good Rudd, and areally decent 8lb mirror well worth fishing for the afternoon on a £6 day ticket.
20p showers were sufficient, and bought a couple of bits from the shop.
The site was kept clean and tidy with reasonable pitch sizes, but we had no one either side of us, otherwise it might have been a bit tighter than we would have liked.

N'a pas aimé Lack of mobile and wifi, nice to be offline but concerned couldn't call family. But that's the location.of, not the site's fault.
Several obviously permanently sited units with a couple of drivers selfishly driving at speed through site.

A aimé It was convenient , nice walks from the site

N'a pas aimé Arrived at site, had to wait to be let on. I was then asked multiple questions which made me uncomfortable.
I woke up at 7am to find someone fishing right outside my van door on my pitch . Whilst I understand this is a fishing lake, a bit more privacy wouldn't go a miss .
You had to pay extra for the facilities, which on top of the nearly 40 a night was a bit much

Réponse du gestionnaire : We are sorry you did not enjoy your stay at Lyons Gate.
The site is a fishery so unfortunately anglers will be around the lake from 7am, if you did not want to be by the anglers we could of located you elsewhere on site if you had asked whilst it is appreciated the lake views are nice the anglers are part of it.
If you arrive on site after the shop is closed you may have to wait a couple of minutes for us to come and see you but it is never more than 5 minutes.
Before you book you are made aware of the extra cost for the showers, and you are also emailed.

A aimé We stayed here for a long weekend as we wanted a rural area which Lyons Gate provided and the staff were all very friendly.

N'a pas aimé However there were a few things we didn't like about this site:
1. The camping section feels like an after thought. It is before the reception on the drive upto the site, not in the main park or near any of the lakes which was disappointing.
2. The tap for drinking water has a very short hose attached which wasn't a problem. However the fact it was used to fill dirty mop buckets to clean the toilets and hose down the owners dogs, felt a bit gross to us and we didn't want to drink from it.
3. Both toilet/shower blocks were shut for cleaning for roughly 3 hours on one of the days. This leaves 1 disabled toilet to use during this and no showers at all. We felt this was a very long time and couldn't plan our day until we had showered.
4. Ice block freezing is available but it is the ice cream freezer in the shop. The shop shut at 4pm so no access to them after that and was closed on Sundays which we weren't told about. A few phone calls had to made to find someone on site with access, not ideal.
5. You will need plenty of 50ps and 20ps as you have to pay for showers and washing up facilities (which you don't find out until after you've booked).

Réponse du gestionnaire : We are very sorry you did not enjoy your stay at Lyons gate. It does say on Pitch Up and you are emailed information about the site where it clearly says about the payment for the showers and washing up so you are always given advance notice and in the same email you are emailed about the shop opening times so again you would have known in advance when the shop was open and we always let you know that you can knock at the lodge if anything is needed.
The toilet and shower block are closed when they are cleaned and until the floor is dry, sometimes it is longer for the floors and they are never closed for 3 hours at a time, and we tell everyone when they book in the showers are closed from approximately 10 O'CLOCK for cleaning and they are open all night and up to cleaning so there is plenty of time to shower before if you wanted to go out.
It was unfortunate we forgot to tell you we was off site on Sunday but again the email you are sent says please check the shop door for the times when the shop is open and it has said on the door the shop was closed Sunday all week.
People do use taps for washing their dogs off and rinsing out the buckets and washing muddy boots but the hose never touches anything and the hoses are cleaned and disinfected everyday.

A aimé Great campsite , very dog friendly . Quiet and peaceful.

N'a pas aimé Nothing
