The Old Dairy Farm Caravan and Camping

Ik was blij met The site was very quiet, even with the frequent trains that run alongside the edge of the camping field, this was not a problem at all.

There was plenty of space for pitches and this allowed us to create our own little bubble within the camping field whilst staying here with friends and family.

The onsite shop, bar, grab'n'go food outlet were convenient.

The petting zoo, play park, and bouncy castles are also a welcome facility as this gave the kids plenty to do.

Staff were really pleasant and helpful.

Overall, this is a really nice campsite... However it does require improvement.

Ik was niet blij met There is a dire need to fully overhaul the toilet situation. It is in desperate need of more toilet blocks, and what was there half of which, weren't working or had been screwed shut. It requires at least another block of toilets and the maintenance of the outdoor wash facility also requires a lot of TLC.

They could do with another set of showers, but they were adequate for the amount of visitors that were there at the time.

And here's the big, "however".... The cleanliness of the toilets and showers were appalling. It stated they are checked every hour with a signing sheet to say they had been, but this was definitely just a signing sheet to say they were checked and not cleaned.

The also require more frequent emptying as they were constantly overflowing and nowhere near the number required to cater for a full site.

The shop, even though convenient, was just reselling Aldi brand products at a considerable mark-up, surely using a cash & carry would be more cost effective, and at least would hide the mark-up prices better. It would also benefit from stocking a wider range of everyday products in case of forgetting to bring something with you or if you ran out whilst there.

Van de manager: It’s £2

Ik was blij met Fantastic for the kids with the park, bouncy castles, goats and birds. 100% kids favourite place to camp. Nice area close to the canal and lovely little town. Train track nearby offers something new and we enjoyed hearing and seeing the trains pass.

Ik was niet blij met Showers and toilets. Showers are not the best, and they need to be cleaned more often. Because of all the children about, they get pretty horrible very quickly. They need a little investment to bring them up to standard in line with other sites.

Van de manager: There is hot water at the washing up areas, however you need to fill a washing up bowl with it. We tried at each basin, however found one camper would use all the hot water running the tap constantly. So in order for ever camper to have access to hot water we changed the system. Not many sites have drive over grey waste water points, rather than complaining buy hose attachments to reach our grey water points. The money you saved staying at our site compared to those that offer that has already paid for it.
Showers poor? Their clean, free, and electric so continuous hot water. Very rarely a wait time.

Ik was blij met Absolutely beautiful grounds with awesome amenities. Would definitely recommend

Ik was blij met Really lovely site, the kids loved the goats and bouncy castles.
Loads of space to run around. The shop and bar were really reasonably priced, and food menu looked good too.

Ik was niet blij met The trains running through the night were very noisy, although this isn't really anything the site can do (take earplugs!)
The toilet and shower facilities weren't the cleanest and showers not very powerful.
For the price we paid we can't really complain but I'd rather pay a little more for upgraded facilities.

Ik was blij met Great site and atmosphere
Very family friendly with bouncy castles, park, buckets for water fight fill ups, lovely goats.
Shop, bar and food available on site. Prices were very good.
Friendly and helpful staff.

Ik was niet blij met Showers and toilets weren’t cleaned often enough.
Wash up area was cold water with one hot tap located high up and not over a sink which made rinsing and washing more challenging. Some of the sinks were blocked.
