Do gerente: Thankyou for the nice review. Fab that you could visit and stay again

Just for the benefit of future readers - drinking water is freely available in the wash-up shack. And wifi is available in the pub.

Gostou Lush pub and garden. Really great facilities. The perfect stop on our way home.

Gostou Location. Owners helpful. Clean toilets. Clean showers. Not too many tents. Lots for the children to do. Firepits available. Activities offered.

Não gostou 10-00 pm curfew not adhered to. One large group were talking very loudly and laughing well after this time making it impossible to get our grandchildren asleep. Family in tent next to us were getting very annoyed also. Firewood was the most expensive firewood we have ever bought on a campsite and we are regular campers all over the country. It was ridiculous. It fitted in a tiny tray !!! The pub was great to have nearby with friendly and helpful staff but the menu was a major letdown with a limited menu which was a shame. The food we had was lovely but would have liked more choice. Dogs barking was annoying too and dogs on leads walking around the back of our tent we were not keen on. But a lovely site

Gostou - nice campsite in a lovely area
- pub on site
- clean toilets with tp/soap topped up frequently
- activities for children even in poor weather - bus / sheltered ping pong

Não gostou - due to a wedding event organised on site, our access to the bar and marquee was limited/unavailable and we felt like we were intruding on the wedding party by being there
- decking area and steps outside toilets were very slippery after a rainy night, there was no signage or attempt to remove standing water and my husband slipped and fell on the stairs bruising his back and ribs - luckily there was no serious damage as far as we're aware, but it could have ended in a hospital
- some staff were very tense and 'militant'

Gostou Pub food was delicious and staff very welcoming.

Não gostou Could do with a water stand pipe rather than filling up at the sink.

Quirky toilets

Gostou Very pretty site with lots of activities especially for kids. The best one for my daughters was the playbus but there's also minigolf, ping pong and occasionally archery and axe throwing. The site is behind a pub which was handy. Despite being behind a pub, it is still very quiet and by 10pm there was barely any noise in the campsite.
There was live music in the garden the weekend we were there which was really fun, we had a really lovely time.
I definitely want to come back

Não gostou The toilets could be attended a bit more often. For example a couple of times the toilet paper was missing and one of the toilet seats was broken. Nothing major though and generally the facilities were clean.
Also, the pub closing times could be communicated a bit better.

Gostou Lovely venue and nice food offering. Staff were very attentive and the children loved the playbus!

Não gostou Didn’t know when booking that there was a wedding on, so it was disappointing that we paid the same amount but couldn’t use the communal areas (especially needed in the rain) and there was no summer wood fire pizza like it was advertised on pitch up (I assume due to the wedding) just one of those things but disappointing as we were a big group that then couldn’t spend time with each other anywhere dry. We were welcome to stay in the pub after dinner but felt like we were encroaching on someone’s special day - no malice towards the pub was just the timing and the unfortunate weather that exacerbated it

Do gerente: Glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and would visit again

Obviously a bit disappointed by the score you gave us.

We wanted to reply as felt your review was a bit misleading for other readers. As a large pub with five acres we often have people celebrating special occasions in areas of our facilities. We are lucky that we have lots of space. The small wedding during your stay had use of our marquee - the rest of the pub was operating as normal and you were welcome to come in to the pub throughout your stay. The weather was poor across the weekend and most of the campers were inside with us for long periods dodging the rain!

Cooking pizzas in the garden is obviously weather dependent!
