The Railway Inn

Gostou The pub and food available on site.

Não gostou We’d booked a grass pitch with electric as we have dogs who like to sit out on the grass.
When we arrived the site was very busy. Unfortunately we didn’t get there until around 6pm as we’d travelled from the north of Scotland and the site was just a stopover on our way home. The owner didn’t seem to have any reference to our booking and just put us on what we assume was the only available remaining pitch (Hardstanding with no grass for us to sit out)The vans were crammed in like sardines and we were sited right next to the train line(East coast mainline).
We had food and drinks at the pub which was nice. Then headed back to the van hoping for an early night. Unfortunately this wasn’t to be as the trains were hurtling by every 10 minutes until after 10:30.
We woke early in the morning as we’d decided to head off early.
I nipped to the wash facilities (which were disgustingly. Looked like the showers hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. The toilets had no locks on doors and they were also terrible.
Thankfully we only had one night here

Gostou Host and food were excellent we hsd a great stay.

Não gostou Water in handwash basins was slow and some toilets needed cleaned more regularily. But that is not necessarily hosts fault.

Gostou Not a lot to like here.

Não gostou Shower block is grubby, mouldy, no toilet rolls, cold water in showers, the whole block is in need of a complete revamp. Rusty pipe work and the shower curtains dirty were held up by 3 hooks. Not a nice experience.
The site is next to the main east coast railway line with trains running regularly and also a busy road.
The pitches are packed together. We were in a tent with electric hook up, £90 for 2 nights is excessive. The Saturday night we were there our neighbours in campervans were noisy till 1am.
The owner/manager was rude and unapproachable. Not a nice person at all.

Gostou The quietness and pitch sizes for camping.

Não gostou Staff were moody, especially the bar staff. We felt judged as a family as the kids were playing and enjoying themselves and yet the staff were rude to them.

Lots of rules regarding bbq’s, fires, gazebos, we felt like we couldn’t really do much without being in trouble which is a shame. Personally felt like the owners need to relax and allow people to camp properly instead of feeling like we’re being watched and not allowed to have fun.

Gostou The pitch was spacious, staff friendly and sociable, power close to pitch.

Não gostou Toilet block dated and needs a refurb , but perfectly clean and usable.

Gostou Nothing

Não gostou Nobody to welcome us on our arrival, pub was shut, we had to just pitch up as not one person there. No answer on any phone numbers.
The toilet, shower block is the dirtiest I have ever seen on our many trips, no toilet roll.in any cubicle, rubbish all over the floor and the showers were filthy!!
Never will we go back there.
