Vulcan Rest

A aimé : Did actually as it said on the tin. Pull up! pitch up! chill out. Plain and simple, proper toilet which is a game changer on any site. Would we go again? yes.

N'a pas aimé: Only cause your on the edge of an airfield you can’t control the wind.

A aimé : Free air show (subject to being in the right place at the right time).
Only 'The Nook' campsite at RAF Mildenhall is closer to an active military airfield, AFAIK.
Farm shop a mile up the road.
Peace and quiet (when the RAF weren't flying).

N'a pas aimé: The electric power points have a rotary switch, which isn't obvious at first.
Grey & unused water disposal point not obvious, so you have to use your initiative.

A aimé : Small quiet site (Apart from aircraft sounds) on the side of the runway. Town of Coningsby 10 min walk with pubs, restaurants and shops. Clean toilet and bins for different items. We met the owner, who was at site when we arrived and had the choice of pitches.

N'a pas aimé: Northing

A aimé : Right next to the runway, easy access into Cosford following the farm track through the farm. It only has a toilet and basin in a shed so be prepared. It does have elsan point, water and electricity but Makesure you have a long cable.

N'a pas aimé: Not a dislike for us but if you don’t like noisy planes prob not the site for you.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hello Peter,

Thankyou for your review.

As it states on Pitch Up we are a basic, no frills Campsite, listing the facilities we do offer.

I am very confused about your comment that you have stated that you had No contact with the owner (i.e myself) as I had messaged you on the 26th September, Thanking you for your booking and asking for your arrival time, to which you replied.
I went on to inform you that I would be sending a text message later that evening regarding directions and Pitch number which I fulfilled.

I then received a text message from you on the 27th September informing me that you had driven past the Campsite and had ended up at the crossroads further along than the road. I then redirected you to the Campsite.

I came down to the Campsite to do the Meet and Greets with all the Campers staying and unfortunately you were not on site when I arrived.
So I sent you a text message later on that evening explaining that I was sorry I had missed you as you were not on site when I came down and I wished that you a good day at the BBMF Members Day event which was taking place the following day and that you were attending.

So, I had sent 3 different text messages to which I had no response from you.

With regards to your comment about the poor quality of the access road, unfortunately it does not belong to us, it belongs to the Farmer who owns all the fields that surround the Campsite.


Kind Regards

A aimé : What a great place to view the planes coming and going, we also saw the Lancaster Bomber take off for Belgium. The toilet block was always kept clean, we will definitely be going back. Dawn very easy to deal with and made a great recommendation for somewhere to eat.

A aimé : Fantastic location, ideal base for anyone wanting to view the planes at Coningsby. It’s quite and relaxing and we can’t wait to go back.

N'a pas aimé: Nothing, it had everything we needed and was well described.

A aimé : Right by the runway. Perfect for plane spotting. Great raised platform for it too. Just a shame nothing was flying this weekend 😄.
Having only 5 pitches also pretty much garauntees a peaceful break

N'a pas aimé: Lack of shower facility and extremely basic toilet facilities. For £30 per night I’d usually hope for a little more but still think it’s great

A aimé : A delightful quiet site that suited our needs perfectly. Close to the activity of RAF Coningsby. We will be visiting again.

N'a pas aimé: Nothing.
