Kedvelték There is plenty to do with children on the site, arcades, classes at an additional cost and sport cages (tennis) but not much free space to have a kick about or fly a kite.

Nem kedvelték We had booked for a 4 night stay, when booking it asks what pitch size you want, this information is not passed onto the poor chap who assigns the pitches to the guests arriving. He had to drive around to find a pitch that was suitable for our tent size. On the website it states that there is a minimum of 3 metres between pitches, again not the case, the first pitch we had been given had about 1.5 metres between the tents. The 2nd pitch had about 2.5 meters (legal requirements is 3 minimum).
The swimming you are given an hour a day if you arrive in time to book this the day prior.
The facilities are ok and the domestic staff have their work cut out! 3 out of the 4 mornings going to the toilets people had been sick in multiple cubicles (on the floor) when talking to one of the domestic staff she felt sorry for the families that have to bring children into the toilets due to the conditions selfish people had left them in. We had a young child with us and I would go in to establish which toilet was safe for her to use.
They have a late night disco in the entertainment complex, please be warned that this music can be heard far away. Our pitch was about a 7 minute walk from the complex and it could still be heard at 3am.

Bring a long electric hook-up cable as the ports can be quite far away.

Kedvelték That there were quiet a few activities and it’s family friendly

Nem kedvelték The state of shower rooms, toilets, not regularly cleaned despite of no rain in the 3 days we camped, it should have been kept in a better state. There were no extra hooks inside the shower rooms to keep your stuff hanging and clothes and towels kept falling off the one peg inside the shower rooms.

Kedvelték The pitches. The grounds. Astro football pitch was a huge hit! The grounds were lovely and clean. Arcades were also good. Would return!

Nem kedvelték The showers are not maintained/ cleaned enough!! Constant drainage issues.

Kedvelték Plenty of food/drink options on site.

Worth a walk into Silloth

Nem kedvelték The camping field needs some attention. Pitch very small. No where to sit outside. The pitch was scrub and stones.

Toilets and showers modern but cant cope with the amount of people using them. Despite the best efforts of staff trying to keep on top of the cleaning, they were often dirty. The shower drainage needs addressing as one morning everyone was ankle deep in water.

The holiday park is geared towards children with no entertainment geared towards adults.

People did respect the quiet time after 11pm, shame they didn't respect fellow campers by drowning everyone else's music out with theirs on full blast all day every day.

Kedvelték The site had lots of amenities, the fish shop was reasonably priced and quite tasty. Loved the fact that the kids could use the pool each day (but it was quite booked up as you can only book for the next day after 3pm. Shower and toilet blocks were reasonably clean (we were there mid august and the site was full so the cleaners had their work cut out for them. The guy who booked us in was really helpful, even lending us a hook up cable when ours didn't quite reach. During the day we noticed him driving round the site checking on everyone and keeping things in order. Bins were emptied frequently and everything about the actual site was amazing, we looked to extend our stay and even looked at booking for next year.

Nem kedvelték The reason I've marked the site so low and why we have decided not to return to this site is due to the night time noise. For the first couple of nights the noise wasn't too bad and everyone seemed to be in their tents/campers by about 10pm and the noise was kept at a minimal level. On the Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights the noise was just ridiculous, mainly from adults drinking and playing music loudly. On the sunday night it sounded like a club was playing music right in the middle of the site until 5am and 2 camper vans behind us were out drinking and playing loud music until 4am. I did call the number to report the noise (I was alone with my kids and they were 4 adults drinking so wanted to avoid confrontation) and security said they would send someone out but this never happened.

I understand that everyone was on holiday having a good time but its not cool when its at the expense of others who have to be up early with kids the next day and have a long drive home. We were exhausted. I've never had a problem with noise, I can usually sleep through it or security will come round and sort issues if noise goes on past 12/1ish but this site just didn't really seem to care.

I ended up leaving a day early because we just couldn't face another sleepless night.
