Old Barn Touring Park

Gostou: The receptionist was very friendly and offered us alternative pitches when we were not happy with the one we had been allocated. Clean toilets and the free wifi was quite good as well. The grounds are kept well and the whole site was clean and tidy.

Não gostou: The site is on quite a busy road. Although this did not overly bother us, it does let the site down a little as it is quite noisy most of the time. The site is also at the end of a runway for light aircraft. The first day we was there the planes were taking off over us which was really noisy. Thankfully the rest of the days they were coming in to land over us so were much quieter. This may be us being fussy but we did struggle with the pitches as the first few we were offered were very uneven and although we are in a motorhome and do have chucks to go under the wheels, the pitches just weren't great. Although we were finally offered one that was completely flat and we didn't need the chucks at all. I also don't agree with having to pay for the use of the showers separately. In my opinion this should be part of the cost of the pitch. Although I do appreciate that this is relatively common, I just don't like it.

Gostou: The location, the nature and the peace and quiet. The laundry was good also.

Não gostou: Shower facilities need refresh.

Gostou: The size of the pitch, ample room for our tent and awning. Length of the shower once 20p inserted was brilliant. Cleanliness of toilet blocks was great too.

Não gostou: Toilets running out of loo roll (female). Not able to wash hands properly as tap needed a hand on it to use. Soap dispensers not very good.

Gostou: Spacious size pitch and reception staff helpful.

Não gostou: Toilet block looks derelict and unloved , weeds , loose steps and large flakes of blue paint by entrance to gents , seems floor and wall tiles in the block have been over painted at some time ! , we opted not to use the facilities, looked dirty! All very disappointing. Needs some serious TLC ! The areas around the dustbin were dirty with some old looking rat poison stations, we did see one large rodent by the dustbins !!.

Do gestor: We are so sorry that you felt this way and wish that you had come to speak to us. When we took over the site 5 years ago the toilet block was very dated and in need of a lot of work. Our intention was to completely overall it but then the pandemic coming meant that we couldn't open and we had to use the funds we had for that to keep afloat. It meant that we couldn't implement all of the changes we wanted to make and so we made cosmetic upgrades. Over the past 5 years we have continued to make changes to the facilities, we lowered the ceilings to make it warmer, changed the lighting to make it easier to see in there, put in new hand dryers, hair dryers and shaving points. Yes we painted the tiles on the walls and floors and for some reason the paint in the men's toilet has reacted (if you had looked in the ladies you would have seen that it hasn't in there even though it is the same paint) and while we are aware that it doesn't look great I can't close down the men's facilities for 3 days to paint the floor, it has to wait until we are closed as does much of the repair work and upgrades. We do have bait boxes around the bin areas to try to deter vermin, as should all campsites It is inevitable that where there are humans and rubbish there will be vermin and we are trying hard to keep them away but unfortunately bait boxes are not pretty. When you say that area around the dustbins is dirty I don't really know what you mean, there are some leaves from the bushes around them, the bins get emptied once or twice a day and if any rubbish is outside of the bins it gets picked up. Again perhaps if you had come to speak to me you could have explained what you mean and I could have dealt with it at the time.

Gostou: Good old school clean facilities, site set out in hedge screened blocks, pitches fairly level, all grass with EHU, close to big shops and coast, Got a kids play area, a public bridleway run along side off into the hill behind

Não gostou: Only gripe, hedges were getting over grown especially around the bins and taps

Do gestor: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a lovely review. The hedges had gotten a bit wild over the last few weeks (all that lovely sunshine) We will be tackling them as soon as all the birds have finished nesting in the next couple of weeks. We look forward to seeing you again.

Gostou: Everything on site. Was all clean and tidy

Do gestor: Thank you so much, we are so glad that you had a lovely time and we look forward to seeing you again!

Gostou: Friendly staff. Close to nearby beach and shops. Site level and plenty of room/ space to pitch the motor home on. Water station nearby and rubbish bins.

Não gostou: Having to queue for a shower as only 2 on the campsite for the women's block. Plenty of sinks and toilets though. Area could do with a refurbishment as very tired looking. Pitches not clearly marked out and not much signage around the site. Price booked and paid for prior to staying was then advertised at a cheaper rate to stay on the website, whilst I was staying there which was a little disappointing!!

Gostou: Good cosey campsite. There are good strong shower. Need to pay 20p for shower but lasted good 5mins! Constantly cleaner is there for cleaning shower and toilet.

Não gostou: The pit for camping was a bit small for us (6people and two dogs) and quite close to neighbours. Luckily the pit opposite of us was free so children were able to play football there.
