Polubione Had a lovely stay! Went on the Saturday when they have pizza nights and arrived too late to order but when I asked politely they were able to squeeze me in :D

Odd thing to say? But where I pitched was the perfect group for the tent pegs/ no rocks ect!

Polubione Great little site bit too remote make sure you take everything you need it’s quite a trek for supplies and the roads arnt the best . Thought the owners could have been a bit more friendly I get the check in is remote etc and that’s how they want to run the buisness but there was no face to face communication at all .
Everything was great up untill Saturday night when me and my husband were sat in the tent music on very low chatting and someone came and told us to turn the music off that’s a reasonable request you might think !!! Not when there was a party of about 9 tents and a caravan making lots of noise playing games at the bottom of the field and very rowdy , didn’t bother us one bit just the fact we seem to be targeted out for no reason this put us off visiting again very unfair so unfortunately won’t be back

Niepolubione Not face to face communication and when you did see the owner he didn’t speak anyway

Od administratora: Hi Angela,

Thanks for the review. In response:

1. Thanks for saying we are a great little site and yes we are rural and we advertise as such. I am not sure what supplies you needed but Whitchurch/Wrenbury are 2 miles away and we have a small shop and vending machine on site .The local shop in Wrenbury also delivers. If you'd have asked me, I would have pointed you in the right direction.
2. As the owners being more friendly, I can't help that I dislike customers ; ). I did however speak to you when you pulled up to pitch your tent (I was cutting grass if you remember) and advised that if you need me either find me outside or WhatsApp me or go to reception. I was then outside for another couple of hours filling fire pits in front of you. Aside from that, I agree, I was nowhere to be seen. If you want to natter, pop over. I won't bother people after saying hello unless they need something.
3. I told you to turn the music off after 9pm as we operate quiet hours after that time as you know. I had already asked the other larger group to quieten down and they did so. I appreciate that a few people will get embarrassed about being told to be quiet, which seems to be the main thrust of your review, but I treat eveyone the same. If you want to go to a site that allows noise in the evening, choose a site that allows that. Don't be surprised if a site owner attempts to maintain their own site rules.

Hope you find a site to your liking in the future.

Cheers,

D

Polubione The site was fantastic very clean and tidy lovely little hidden gem.

Niepolubione was kept awake till 3am due to big gatherings which were quite noisy we picked this site because it states its quieter after 9 am not a party pooper but 3am is pushing it a little.

Od administratora: Hi Shelly,

Thanks for the review. It's the first I've heard of it sorry. Yes, groups can be a pain but I will always nip out between 9 and 10pm to remind people to be quiet. I'll then give it 15 mins or so to see if they are quietening down and if not give a second warning. On the third warning they're going home. Unless I hear something from the house or someone messages me, I won't go out again and it's not reasonable to expect I would stay out all night to check for noise. I would expect people to have some common decency. On the night in question I told a large group to knock the noise on the head and they complied. I also told a couple to turn their music off and they took the hump and gave a bad review.

All the best,

D

Polubione Lovely campsite

Polubione Perfect small site in a great location with fantastic setup. We were made to feel so welcome to the site and there was a great vibe from everyone on site too which was really encouraged by the layout, setup and attention taken to the facilities as a whole

Would highly recommend

Niepolubione visited on a Bank Holiday weekend which meant that the campsite was full and despite information about quiet night time (despite some discrepancies between provided information, e.g. quiet time from 8pm, 9pm, 10pm) some families with young kids (around 8ish) ended up being awake and making noise past 11 pm. With the highlight: a dad shouting at the top of his voice 'keep it quiet, girls' to his daughters and their friends in the middle of the night.

There didn't seem to be much noise management from the owners (unfortunately).

Some parents let their children roam free around the campsite which resulted in the kids scattering books all over the drive from the campsite 'library'. Not the owners fault though. A couple of times a child (around 4 years old) ran into me as they were running across the path without a care in the world (the path was also being used by cars)
