The Old Vicarage

Ik was blij met This was our 4th or maybe 5th visit and we keep returning because we love the scenery and peaceful atmosphere and our son really loves playing in the stream, on the trampoline, and chatting to the chickens. The cave bar was open this time, and it was a lovely cosy spot to enjoy a drink.

Ik was niet blij met This time we were charged £15 for a firepit, none of which is now refunded. That didn't include the wood. This seems really steep, especially when we only stayed one night. And we had to lug the firepit and wood to the far end of the campsite ourselves, whereas in previous years they delivered it to our pitch in the carts. Otherwise, no complaints! :)

Ik was blij met beautiful setting with river running through- stepping stones, water wheel, surrounding fields
small site
owners have put swings, zip lines throughout site as well as play area
I had hot shower

Ik was niet blij met v small cubicles for toilets- difficult with young children
Lack of shop
we followed instructions to not leave car by tent- many others didn't so less space for playing

Ik was blij met We had our young ones and teens.
Great if you have the weather or kids that aren’t going to melt in the rain.

Ik was niet blij met Nothing else really close by/walkable.
Would be 10 stars but the toilet and shower area was very poor. Barely cleaned and just not enough space in them.

Ik was blij met Having been 4 times now, I love the family feel to this site. The children's play area and obviously the water keeps them occupied all day. Lovely and friendly welcome every time.

Ik was niet blij met As it was busy being summer and only 2 showers in the female block meant having to wait, but to be expected. So jot a real dislike:)

Ik was blij met The play areas and stream were a great hit with the kids . Hours of fun!
Surprising quiet campsite despite being near off the main roads

Ik was niet blij met Staff didn't seem over happy/friendly
Facilities were basic and not massively clean. Can cope with it for a short weekend but I didn't want to shower the kids there
And we had brought our own toilet tent so we didn't have to use them much
WiFi password and maps not given out so had to just figure stuff out on our own
Owner shouted at my children to stop chasing the chicken that was loose but instead of being friendly and coming to talk to them she just shouted from her door step.. not very friendly

Ik was blij met The site was lovely, with a natural water way running through for children to play in. Whilst there, an ice cream van popped by and also they opened their cave bar which was a treat.

Ik was niet blij met The facilities were terrible. The shower leaked water everywhere, not enough room in the shower or toulet area and not enough facilities for the site.

Site felt over crowded and was very loud as a result.

Ik was blij met The site is great with the perfect river going through my 9 and 12 year old played all day everyday for 3 days

Ik was niet blij met Needs more showers and bar would benefit from being open every day

Van de manager: Thank you for your review
We are working on some new showers at the moment behind the green toilets on the tipi side of the river - they just aren’t quite ready yet.
We wish we could open the bar everyday but unfortunately we are only a small family run business and it isn’t cost effective to have it open everyday.
Thanks

Ik was blij met Lovely location, big cabin with plenty of space, bathroom nice and big , shower toiletries nice touch.
Netflix on TV and YouTube was a bonus
Lots of space around for kids to play

Ik was niet blij met We have been 3 times and loved it everytime, but this time round The cabin was left from the people before, as was a mucky nike white sock in the bed and the other under the sofa bed when we pulled it out for the kids to sleep on... tea towels had food all over them and was screwed up on the top shelf and was no clean ones ( I take my own, so it wasn't a problem) ... the fire pit outside had dog food in, so we didn't use it, and the outdoor sofa was that mucky it couldn't be sat on, so we just had the picnic bench to sit at.. so take your own camping chairs if u want to sit outside comfortably.

Ik was blij met Lovely place to be, like being some where completely away from everything.

Ik was blij met This is just a lovely camp site, this is the second visit we've had and I'm sure there'll be more.

The facilities are great, fridges, washing up area, shower and toilets located around site. It never feels too busy so lots of space to pitch up.

The kids love the river with the swings and zipline going across, and also the fishing
