Walltree House Camping

Polubione The site itself has a lot of potential and my two young children really enjoyed watching the skydivers, which was definitely a highlight of the trip.

We travelled from Blackpool for a three-night family camping trip and, for the most part, the site was peaceful and enjoyable.

The location has plenty of potential for families, and having a small children’s play area would be a great addition. Somewhere for younger children to safely play would make the site much more appealing for families staying for several days.

Niepolubione Unfortunately, our final night completely ruined what had otherwise been an enjoyable trip. We unintentionally pitched our tent in the wrong bay. The booking instructions weren’t particularly clear and I genuinely didn’t realise we were in the wrong pitch.

Another camper insisted that we move, despite there being plenty of empty pitches on a very quiet site. I even suggested that he take our pitch instead, but ultimately, as a single father with two young children, I had to completely dismantle our camp after we’d been there for two nights and re-pitch everything for our final night.

Having travelled all the way from Blackpool, this caused a huge amount of unnecessary stress and anxiety. Having to pack everything away, unpack it again, and then pack everything away again the following morning was exhausting and completely took away from what should have been our final evening enjoying the trip together.

We were also unable to have a campfire during our stay because there was no firewood available from the campsite shop, which was particularly disappointing with two young children.

The road closures around the area also made getting anywhere extremely difficult. Brackley was shown as being around five minutes away on the sat nav, but because of the various closures and diversions it took around 30 minutes to get there.

Overall, it’s a real shame because the site has potential, but the combination of the unclear pitch instructions, the way the pitch situation was handled, lack of firewood, road closures and lack of a children’s play area made the experience considerably more stressful and disappointing than it should have been.

Sadly, I don’t think we’ll be returning.

Od administratora: Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you and your children enjoyed the site, particularly watching the skydivers, and that you found the site peaceful and enjoyable for most of your stay. We also appreciate your suggestion regarding a children’s play area and agree that this could be a positive addition for families.

We are, however, disappointed that your final evening affected your overall experience so negatively, and we would like to clarify a few points.

Unfortunately we did not receive any calls or messages from you during your stay regarding the pitch. Had we been made aware of the situation at the time, we would have been more than happy to speak with you and try to resolve any misunderstanding.

We are sorry that having to move caused you stress, particularly while travelling with two young children. However, without being contacted, we were unfortunately not given the opportunity to assist or find an alternative solution before you dismantled your camp.

Regarding the firewood, our online shop is normally restocked daily. It appears that the stock may simply have been missed when you attempted to place your order, and we apologise that you were unable to purchase any during your stay. We appreciate that having a campfire can be an important part of the camping experience, especially with young children.

With regard to the traffic and journey into Brackley, the difficulties you experienced were due to an accident involving a motorist in the area, which caused significant traffic disruption and diversions during your stay. Unfortunately, this was completely outside of our control and not something we could have anticipated.

We do take your comments on board and will continue to look at ways we can improve the experience for our guests, including making pitch information as clear as possible and considering additional facilities for families.

It is a shame that your final evening overshadowed what you otherwise described as a peaceful and enjoyable stay. We appreciate your feedback and wish you and your family all the best for your future camping trips.

Polubione Amazing showers, clean toilets even passed a very fussy little camper standards. Great pitch all with fire pit and picnic table. Fire wood bundles had kindling fire starters and larger wood. Enough fir 2 small fires. Be aware there is no shade on the campsite ie total sunlight hours of full on sun. Great walks to pubs about half a hour across lovely countryside. Very peaceful site. Air field close by with little cafe and you could aircraft and sky divers. Great information boards for activities around the campsites

Niepolubione Could have been a children's play area. I brought fire wood from pay lockers but would have liked to bring some of my own as the fire wood was 10 pounds and was enough for 2 small fires

Polubione Fantastic campsite. Ingenuity and well maintained facilities.
We will be back :)

Niepolubione Nothing I disliked. Just to note the campsite is aside a small air field so mostly microlights can be heard.

Polubione Loved being able to sit on a picnic table as the sun went down and watch the gliders in the sky. Lovely pitch cut in to wild flower fields. Very private. Very nice clean showers, and toilets. Definitely going to go back.

Niepolubione Nothing. All was great.

Polubione Love this site! It's really well laid out with spacious pitches mowed into the long grass. Great shower & loo block. A peaceful site with countryside views, and you can watch the gliders and skydivers in the neighboring Hinton airfield. Had a fabulous long weekend once again. Will be back.
