Irondale Touring Caravans and Campsite

Likte The welcome text advising which pitch we were on. Sue ensuring we were settled and all set up 30 mins after arrival. Toilets open 24/7.
Lovely little country pub. Very quiet and peaceful. Not suitable for wide/long tourers due to access but we were fine in 7.5 m motorhome.
Did not try pub so can’t comment but looked lovey and dogs welcome

Likte ikke Nothing

Likte Easy set up, nice pitch with plenty of room. Fur baby was able to just wander and was safe and enclosed.
Pub was only yards away, good food.
No shower block but not an issue as motorhome has its own.
Didn’t use any WiFi as was having an “off line” weekend.
Lovely walk, and fascinating history.

Likte Ken the Harris Hawk and the pitches well laid out and level. Food in the pub was very good and value for money. Finally a proper pub needs a proper landlady which this pub definitely has 10/10

Likte The site had 5 nice large pitch with electric. It was gated so felt safe for our pets should they have got loose.

The pub was good and the staff friendly with a good selection of drinks.

I felt there was good access from the Motorway. No small country lanes.

Likte Ease of access.

Likte ikke I am a dog owner/lover and he goes everywhere with us - and like all Dogs - when they have to go - they go. Cant help that. But like all responsible owners - we are meticulous about cleaning up after him....

That said:

1) Dog s*** on our pitch curtesy of Frank and Sid.
2) Beer garden at rear of Chequers inn - piles of dog s***. Area where kids play.
3) Broken glass shards all over the pitch. Wife and I spent the weekend picking them up and had a huge pile. From just one pitch.... Thankfully our pooch didnt get cut (by luck only)

We have visited this site previously - being less impressed each time. We wont be visiting again due to the Frank/Sid generated dog s*** piles and the glass issue. Shame really, especially given they proudly boast of a high "dog friendly" rating.

Fra bestyreren: This is an outrageous review and quite frankly totally untrue!!!
Absolutely nothing has changed from your previous visits!!
We would not receive the numerous 10/10 reviews if the issues you highlight in your review were true!!
We boast the fact that we are “dog friendly” having won a national award because of it.
Your insistence of piles of “dog s***” “is totally untrue!
As dog owners who are meticulous about cleaning up after our dogs the fact is we do not have eyes on our dogs 24/7 and the occasional act of nature with dogs will happen.We make this clear on our welcome letter that you receive when you make your booking and a more appropriate way of dealing with this if it happens would be to make us aware of it so it can be removed.
So a question for you - “why did you not make us aware of such incidents”?
Answer “because there weren’t any” totally made up.
Question - “ why did you not make us aware of shards of glass”?
Answer - “ because there aren’t any”!

Why you have found it necessary to write such a vindictive damaging review when previously we have given you a warm welcome,provided hospitality engaged in conversation and made a “fuss” of your dog on multiple occasions is beyond us.
Instead you choose to go behind the safety of a keyboard as opposed to raising your concerns “face to face”!
Thank you for taking the time to post your review.
All reviews are taken seriously by us and monitored accordingly to provide the absolute best for our visitors.

Likte Location, cleanliness, whole set up was lovely. Pub was a bonus.

Likte ikke Didn’t know we had to pre order food at pub. We would have if we’d known.
