Vertaal (Mogelijk gemaakt door Google Translate )Ik was blij met: We loved this campsite, we could camp in the open or in the trees and it had amazing views over Nottinghamshire. Watching the sunset was better than telly. Friendly staff greeted us and we could choose where we camped.
Ik was niet zo blij met: My son missed being able to have a shower but didn't bother the rest of us.
Broken lock on one of the toilets wasn't great.

Ik was niet zo blij met: We called on behalf of our friend as she was a Solo-travelling female doing UK tour cycling. We saw on the tracker that she'd arrived and 2 of us were trying to call number provided but no one answered. 50 minutes waiting and stil nothing so our friend started to set up tent but was told by a camper that it was all booked for a private function and that the owners had already left. Someone saw her getting upset and pointed to an area to set up. She spent the whole night worrying about someone kicking her out so she left first thing. Port-a-loo toilets but no lights and very limited water. Perhaps because it was all a last minute booking, nothing could be arranged or led to show her where to go, we got the information text 3 days later.
Im saddened to hear about your friends experience with us. Im not sure what happened but suspect that the breakdown in communication may have resulted as it was booked by a third party. We always text on the morning of arrival with instructions so not sure why this was received three days later? Pitchup sends a list of arrivals for that day so to send the text three days later is unusual and would mean that I would have to have gone back through the records. Not something I would do.
Perhaps you could give me the name of the guest and the date on which they stayed? I can then get to the bottom of exactly what happened and learn from any mistakes. I do vaguely remember having a telephone conversation with you I think.
On no dates in June were the camping areas booked out in their entirety. I suspect that she may have approached a glamping guest who informed her that the separate glamping areas were booked out for a private function. This is standard for all weekends. If you can book a date through Pitchup then the camping areas are open to the general public
Whilst the facilities are basic, we do have two standpipes for water, washing up facilities and porcelain sinks and toilets in all four of the toilets. Whilst these are in plastic sheds these are not Port-a-loos.
Sorry for any distress caused. Please apologise to your friend. I hope her UK tour was a success.
Regards
Tom
Hi, thanks for your lovely comments. Pegs can be an issue in some places to be fair. The site was a Wellington Bomber dispersal point for the neighbouring RAF Newton during the war. The hard standing pads that the bombers stood on are still there and sadly hiding just under ground in certain parts of the site. Sorry
