The Beeches

Likte Orchard effect

Likte ikke No reception area so contact by phone. Google Maps didn’t know direction to The Beeches postcode sent across road & no brown sign therefore difficult to locate as site at the back of small factory unit. Toilet block needs drastic improvement. Shower tray badly stained so reluctant to use shower. No double door access to female shower & toilet room so no privacy when outer door opens! Cold water in washing up sink but was fixed.

Fra bestyreren: Anonymous, thank you for leaving a review on our site. We are glad you liked the orchard effect but there are so many other things about the site you have not covered. We have invested so much time, work and expense into this site and we love this site as others do. We do have a reception area which we are working on but this takes time. Our signage is clear at the bottom of the driveway as our instructions on booking for you arriving.
The toilet block you mentioned has had a complete revamp this year at a considerable amount of time, work and expense. I think we can agree that The Beeches is not for you as it is aimed at families. Perhaps you didn’t see the large amount of children’s play equipment too? I find your review unbalanced and quite unfair. You mark us down very poor on customer service but seemed happy enough talking about your job and links to Henlow? Yes I’m answering this now. Not sure what you expected us to provide as we are open and honest in our descriptions.
I wish we could rate those who visit us too. Seemed happy enough but possibly your mind was made up very early on and all you were able to see was negative? This was never apparent in face to face discussions though which is very unfair.You’ve done the same as a previous negative review in nit picking. I’m highlighting this your expectations were too high as we are not a 5 star service with a 1 star price! In the words of Shakespeare “Expectation is the root of all heartache”. Enough said

Likte Pitches are a good size. You can park your car right by your tent. Toilets and showers are cleaned regularly. Hot water on tap. Dog friendly, although they do need to be kept on a lead (or tethered to a tree/ground spike). Fire pits and barbeques are welcome. Owners are lovely. The whole place feels really peaceful and safe, with lots of trees. Kids play area is decent - our kids have a whale of a time every time we visit (they love the bikes). Solar lights around the trees make for really easy late night toilet trips!

Likte ikke Check-in can be a bit of a waiting game if your phone doesn't have enough signal to call the number on the gate, but once it's been seen that you're waiting, someone will be down to let you in pretty quickly.

The kids play area could maybe do with a bit of an update. Our kids loved it, but some of the wooden structures are looking a bit tired and a few of the bikes need some attention. Our kids still loved it though so it's really not anything bad - just a few small tweaks.

Likte Brilliant site for our first camping trip.. shower block and toilet facilities were spotlessly clean as was the washing up area.. all well maintained throughout the day.. friendly and helpful wardens, we were made to feel very welcome. Play area was a bonus and again plenty for the kids to do. Lovely walks for the dog. Pitch was level, good security and you can rent a firepit and buy logs onsite.. road noise wasnt as bad as some say . Looking at coming back again soon 😀

Likte Beautiful site, very well maintained, great play area for children & gorgeous sunset views across the fields. Shower / toilet block was immaculate. Great security, which as a female solo camper, was much appreciated. Lovely management, very helpful and kind. Will definitely be back.

Likte ikke You can hear the noise from the road slightly but it honestly didn’t bother me or affect my stay at all.

Likte Wasn’t very busy. Plenty of space. Toilet and shower were ok.

Likte ikke Traffic noise kept me awake first night. Ear plugs sorted it for other two nights we were there.

Likte ikke We were aware this was on a busy road and were fine with this. But the traffic is pretty consistent through the night

Likte Stayed here for the night with my daughter. Lots of play equipment for her to explore and entertain her. Dawn, Lee and Mick were super friendly chatting to us at length. Nothing to much trouble for them. Great value and my daughter already wants to know when we're returning. Thanks

Likte ikke Nothing really 👌

Fra bestyreren: Anonymous, thank you so much for your review. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. It was a pleasure talking to you both. Children are at the heart of what the site is about and nothing gives us more pleasure in seeing and hearing children have fun. The memories you make will be priceless and we are happy you chose The Beeches to do this. We’d love to see you back soon.

Likte Bikes for the children to ride on

Likte ikke Place is very run down. Big tents filled with rubbish. Spoken to someone else on site and said it was packed with things to do, but now the owner is poorly so unable to do as much (which we are sorry to hear) we stayed one night, noisy near the main road

Fra bestyreren: Anonymous, thank you for taking the time to review our site.
We do disagree that our site is run down, you seem to overlooked the fact we are continually maintaining and updating everything on our site. This takes time and we try to avoid this when we have visitors.
Big tents full of rubbish, well we do have a marquee which has recently been cleared of owners belongings. Our wood store we have had destroyed by strong winds and this will be removed. Yes it is a poly tunnel but remains functional in protecting the wood we need to do projects. At the end of the day, I think we can safely say that The Beeches is not for you. It is a site we are continually working on and improving on. Most people see the good things we are doing and we will continue to do this.
