Gostou Perfectly level pitches with acres of space. Plenty of fresh water on site, and the flashiest loos & showers I've ever seen on a site! When quiet (only 1 other pitch occupied, as mid week) the wildlife was a bonus - Hare on the camping field & Great Spotted Woodpecker in the surrounding trees. View across to the Welsh hills when clear enough.

Gostou The facilities were impressive - gate security, perfectly level pitch, provision of fresh water around the site, modern toilet & shower block. Also that the inter-pitch screening was by the recent planting of beech hedges rather than conifers.

Não gostou Some customers seemed not to have been toilet-trained and had left the loos in an unhygienic state. To be fair, 5 loos, 5 showers (both sexes) between so many users are perhaps too few.
Also 1 party felt it necessary to share their taste in music with the rest of the site - fortunately they shut it off at a reasonable time.
Unfortunately there was no clear division between waste and recycling bins.

Regarding your negative ones - Unfortunately, I had a few unwelcome guests the period you were staying, and their habits and complete lack of respect made life difficult. I can only apologise and hope it doesn't put you off in the future.

Não gostou Had quite a strong smell of cow manure, also got a bit of a telling off when asked if it’s okay to use bbq when the lady done her walk around seems quite strict. Stating she doesn’t agree with them things and don’t be putting it in my bin ‘I mean it’. She did allow us to cook on the road though which was kind 😂. Just didn’t feel like a nice space to be won’t be returning.

Do gestor: Hello Darren,
Thank you for your comments.
To address your complaints if I may:
The site is in a agricultural area and therefore if a farmer is spreading manure in the area there will be a smell associated with it for a day or two afterwards.
Regarding the BBQ, it does state very clearly on the Ts and Cs that disposable BBQs are not permitted. You asked , and I explained I was not happy about it but, I allowed it on the gravel. I tried to make my point very clearly as it is usually ignored and I am left to clear up the mess. Disposable BBQs are not environmentally friendly, they burn the grass and remain hot for long periods, potentially causing problems for disposal and other people. These are my reasons for not permitting them.

Gostou Lovely campsite, very quiet

Não gostou No toilet brush to clean after yourself

Do gestor: Thank you 😊

Unfortunately toilet brushes get used for other things, so I do not put them out.

Gostou Lovely quiet countryside location not too far off the M6. Family friendly. Large flat pitches. Has a nice dog walking area. Facilities are very clean and the bins are kept out of sight. The entrance has a security gate which needs a code. This is the second time I have stayed overnight and can definitely recommend the sight for a longer stay.

Gostou Great location, excellent facilities

Não gostou Pay for electricity system. I hate it when a business pushes a problem on to its customers. System don’t work for me and when I asked to pay cash the guy didn’t know what to do. Will look for another site that doesn’t use this system for future stays.

Do gestor: Dear Peter,

Thank you for your comments.
When running a business, one has to make decisions. The decision to charge for electricity was taken as the fairest way to solve the problem of high electric costs. Some campers may use £2, others £22. Decisions on usage is then entirely up to the guests.
I was actually away for the weekend you stayed and a friend very kindly looked after the place, if he was unsure what to do this was the reason why. A little humility goes a long way Sir.

Gostou Good level pitches excellent showers brilliant dog walking area nice secure site would recommend

Não gostou Thought was expensive for dogs as they don't really use anything at £2 pound aday which puts the price of the pitch up especially if more than one dog toilets kept not flushing but owner had got someone coming out to them didn't like the fact of kids playing football and cricket behind the pitch most of the day was like a school play ground untill they went bed so not peaceful perhaps if they had a area for them to play I would pick a edge pitch next time knowing this is what happens

Do gestor: Hi Julie,
Thank you for your kind comments.
Thankfully the toilets are all flushing correctly again!
Regarding dogs, I do charge for them, I think in your case with 5 dogs it was a little unusual.
Kids playing is part of the camping fun, I'm sorry if they caused you problems. As you said, pitch selection is useful.
