Walltree House Camping

Gostou: We recently stayed at this campsite with friends and it was a lovely little find.

The campsite was very easy to find and well sign posted. The pitches were assigned to us before we arrived and we received documents with a map attached that showed the layout of the site, the pitches and the facilities.

It was very easy to find the pitches, and there was a parking area beside our pitch so we could unload before moving the cars to the carpark.

The pitches are a fair size. There were 3 tents camped on our one pitch and there was a fire pit and bench on each pitch.

The toilets and showers were very clean and well stocked with loo roll, soap and hand cream! The water was always hot.

The washing up area was great being under cover as we had some bad weather whilst we were there.

Access to charging facilities and a small freezer was very handy although other guests had spilt something in the freezer and made a mess and left it so it was dirty inside the freezer.

The bins are just up behind the toilet blocks so be aware of this and make sure you're rubbish bags aren't too heavy when you drag it up there.

Loved the mowed pitches and the rest left long and wild!

There were planes, gliders and parachutes going overhead constantly which was great to watch.

Campsite was small but very quiet and peaceful.

Não gostou: There was confusion with regards to firewood and when you could get it. The original text and link received a few months before we stayed, stated there was an honestly box and wood kept in the washing up area. There was nothing kept in the washing up area. You actually had to order online before 2pm each day which wasn't clear until we arrived and we had arrived just after 2pm, missing the deadline and meaning we had no wood at all for our first night. We spoke with other campers who had found the same thing so this was frustrating at first.

We stayed for 3 nights and didn't see any staff working there the whole time which sometimes is really lovely.

However, some campers did not respect the rules or other campers. A guy drove his 4x4 across every single pitch and across the long grass showing off when he had 2 young boys in his car. The car was left on the pitch the whole time they were there and every time they came and went, they drove the car over the grass. All vehicles were supposed to be kept in the car park and they left their car on the pitch with the engine running into the night.

Whilst this is not the fault of the campsite owners, this could have been deterred if there was more staff presence on site.

Do gerente: We are thrilled you receive a 10/10 review and really pleased you enjoyed your stay in one of our bell tents. Hope to welcome you back in the future.

Gostou: Nice peaceful setting, until lights out time…
The site itself is set back from the house and has everything you need, the showers were hot and clean and the toilets and washing up facilities were well kept. The car park isn’t far from the site and not having the cars parked by the tents actually gave it a better feel. The ‘drop off’ zone isn’t far from the pitches and even though wheel barrows were supplied, we didn’t need them as our pitch was close enough to carry everything. Me and my boys loved our time here.

Não gostou: There were a couple or groups that ignored the lights out at 11pm rule as they didn’t have young kids. Plus there was a festival/event in one of the other fields on the site that was going on until gone midnight, which kept us awake….
None of this would have been a problem if I was visiting as an adult group or had teenagers, but as a young family (7 & 10 yo boys) this wasn’t ideal

Do gerente: We are so sorry it was loud over the weekend. Bank holidays tend to be very busy with more family groups booking on to the campsite can often be louder. We try to split large groups off the campsite and host them on our event field to create some separation but either way everyone should follow our noise policy.

The event hosted in the neighboring field was larger and louder than planned, It should have been an exclusive hire of the whole site (including the campsite). Although the amplified music was turned off by the party fun and laughter did carry on late.

If you are willing to give us another chance we would love to welcome you back free of charge sometime before we close the campsite in October.

Mid week is of course quietest but lots of weekends are also quiet.

Thank you for your feedback, we will make it our policy to inform all guests before hand when it is very busy or an event is taking please.

Kind Regards,
Walltree House

Gostou: Such a peaceful, pretty little site with excellent facilities. Being next to the airfield was cool, watching the planes, gliders and skydivers. Too far for us on a regular basis but would definitely stay again if in the area.

Não gostou: I love sites that have a separate car park but more/better wheel barrows would have been good for moving the stuff around.

Gostou: Pitch layout, communication beforehand. Airfield next door

Não gostou: Complete lack of staff on site. Carpark unsuitable for motorbikes.
Campsite is supposed to be carfree, but many people parked in the loading zone or even on the actual pitch.
Shower temperature is very erratic.

Do gerente: We are really pleased to hear you liked the Pitch layout, communication beforehand and the Airfield next door.

I am sorry to hear other guests did not abide by T&C's by parking in the drop zone, all guests agree to this before arrival.
As advertised we are a Self Check In campsite and staff are always on hand when needed as stated in the Arrival and Self Check In details.

Gostou: Very quiet, peaceful, spotlessly clean, decent showers/toilets.

Não gostou: Nothing

Gostou: Parking away from the tent made the stay even more relaxing and the kids found the wheelbarrows an added fun game to start the weekend! Then the little pathway to our own tent cul-de-sac with wild areas to keep us seperare added to the peace and adventure. A great location and the skydivers and planes added entertainment. The facilities were excellent and clean. The walk round the airfield to the local pub was excellent too! A really relaxing time, thank you

Não gostou: We would have found a communal fridge more useful than freezer.
