Barons Cross Inn

Likte Basically, everything. The site was clean and tidy and there was a very warm welcome from the staff who showed us where everything was, we went up for food and the children and dog was very welcome. I had the steak the kids had smash burgers and my partner had the loaded fries and the portions were massive and everything cooked to perfection. There is a really nice pool table which we played on for the majority of the evening before we went back to the tent and the beer garden is lit up with really pretty lights which make it easy to find your way back we enjoyed ourselves so much that we are going to be attending the big events that they have on shortly. It’s nice to find somewhere so friendly and inviting and the staff really could not do enough to help. Look forward to coming back for Oktoberfest, Halloween and their big bonfire and firework party. our new favourite place.

Likte ikke Aabsolutely nothing. even the Wi-Fi worked well.

Fra bestyreren: Hi, thanks for the review. Glad you found us very friendly and the food good. With regard to your concerns about the bin placement, they aren't the prettiest thing we have to admit but unfortunately we can't place them anywhere else as the bin collection company will only collect them from there and the access is frequently used by very large lorries and Winnebagos. The tree in the drive is avery old oak tree and is trimmed during is off period to make sure it doesn't damage campers etc, but sorry you felt that the access was somewhat difficult for you. Hope to see you again soon :)

Likte Pitches well sized and kept. Friendly welcome.

Likte ikke Some areas need tidy up especially access to waste disposal.

Fra bestyreren: Hi, sorry you didn't enjoy your stay with us and sorry you feel £12.50 per night per person with electric and free shower isn't a good deal. We pride ourselves on being friendly and helpful and we have a full time cleaner and facilities are cleaned every day. The Wi-fi is also free to use and is out of our hands to control the quality of that, we have super fast broadband and Wi-fi boosters and can't really do anymore I'm afraid. The areas you describe as needing 'tidying up' are areas we have left inbtentionally rewilded to accommodate wildlife impacted by the fact there is a campsite. The bin area is currently being upgraded, but is truthfully useable although not ornamental because it's a bin area.
Nonetheless, we are sorry we were nto a good fit for your expectations.

Likte Easy access to Leominster and main road. Pitches level and well spaced.

Likte ikke Only toilets (apart from a single portaloo) are in pub and locked when pub is closed.
Only one shower in pub just outside locked pub door. OK but dated.
The site has a number of permanent residents as far as I could see. Not a problem for us but others could not be happy.

Fra bestyreren: Just to correct you on a few points, the shower was refitted in 2020, I don't know how many people refit their bathrooms every 5 years but seems an excessive request to me that it's done more frequently than that, it's floored with tiles and has nice mermaid board to the walls, it's a good powered mains shower and it's 24 /7 access, is cleaned every day and it's FREE. (Please see pics folks and judge for yourselves).
Not sure what type of shower would you like for the £12.50 per day you each paid.
Just to clarify also that there are NO permanent residents on the site, it's not something we permit, and since you only stayed for 3 nights not even sure how you a. came to that conclusion or b. had any relevant information that could have led you to your incorrect conclusion.
Hoping your next foray into camping leads you to somewhere wonderful with gold plated taps in the bathroom and no other visitors, so you might not mistake them for permanent residents.
Also the amount of Portaloos we have on site varies depending on the number of people we have staying- and can be considerably more than one during busy periods. Obviously we didn't realise you wanted several each.
I think you're expectations are probably better suited to larger commercial sites, who in turn charge larger commercial prices.

Likte Had a choice of pitches, mowed field.
The man who dealt with booking was very pleasant

Likte ikke We arrived Sunday afternoon expecting to be able to eat, however, Sunday lunches finished at 4 and food wasn’t served later. Apparently food has good reviews.The pub was open for drinks.
The toilets and shower were quite clean but they were inside the pub so when the pub closed, they were out of use, there was then a port-a-loo in the field to use, the loo was clean in the evening but wasn’t by morning, it was smelly! Being Sunday not many take aways open, and some bad reviews for some take aways.
Not in a particularly scenic area. Sadly won’t be revisiting !

Fra bestyreren: Hi, We are glad that you found the staff friendly, we always try to be as helpful as possible.
With regard to the food, it's advertised everywhere that on Sundays we finish food service after Sunday lunch, so we are sorry that you were not aware of that, but as you note there are not many places open for food on Sunday evenings, and nowhere that you can have a sit down meal in Leominster at all.
The shower is open 24 hours and is free to use, as you will see if you read other people's reviews so not sure why you think it closes when the pub does, that is only the internal pub toilets and as you correctly note there is a portaloo available for overnight use, which you said was clean when you arrived. It is cleaned every morning so I am assuming that you might have used it early morning before that was done the next day. It's not possible to clean it after each person uses it I'm afraid.
Sorry to hear that you didn't like the area, but we find Leominster lovely and try to ensure that everyone has an enjoyable stay. Better luck on your next camping trip wherever you decide to go.

Likte We specifically wanted to pitch up on a site with a pub and Barons Cross hit the mark. Everyone was friendly, amenities were clean, we had a couple of hours on their pool table, as well as a good range of draught beers they also served non alcoholic drinks (a big 10* for that). We didn’t try the food but it did smell amazing. We will visit again.
