Понравилось The view

Не понравилось The whole site is terrible.
Firstly finding the place from the directions given was not only terrible but dangerous as you have to cross a duel carriage way twice to access the entrance that was poorly signposted.
On arrival there was no one on site to ask any questions or obtain help about where we should park our vehicle.
The whole area was covered in rubble and stones which made walking very difficult.
The site was littered with rubbish and old farm equipment.
The toilet and shower block was old and there was no hot water in the showers, male and female.
It is by far the worst campsite we have ever stayed on… and don’t be fooled by the photos on pitchup they are years out of date…
All in all a bad experience and a campsite!! That I would not recommend to anyone.

От менеджера: Thank you for your feedback. While we are always open to constructive criticism and genuinely regret that your stay did not meet your expectations, I feel it’s important to respond to the public review by addressing a number of inconsistencies between it and your original private communication.

1. Shower Facilities. In your original message, you stated that the female shower was cold. In your public review, however, you claimed both male and female showers lacked hot water. This contradicts your initial account and does not align with our maintenance records: the system was checked the morning of your arrival and again after your departure, and both showers were fully operational and providing hot water and with several other camping guests on site no others reported an issue. Had you contacted us at the time, we could have addressed this immediately and helped you to turn on the shower.... Please explain why repurposing of used shower blocks is an issue? They are always clean and fully functional. Do you realise the cost of new shower blocks? I charge £18 per night!

2. Access Instructions – Received but Ignored: In your email, you mention, "I am aware of the explanation on Pitchup regarding the whereabout" and "we later learned that the gate had a key code" which confirms you had access to the arrival instructions we provide all guests in advance and ignored our email to you that included the gate code and further directions clarifying the entrance. Yet your review states, “there was no one on site to ask any questions,” and implies you had no way of gaining access. These two accounts do not align. We can only assume the email was not fully read prior to arrival and you made no attempt to contact me to render you assistance.

3. Safety and Location – Misleading Description: The review claims the entrance requires crossing a “dual carriageway twice.” This is factually incorrect as you'd be going backwards surely? .The entrance is on a standard B-road directly off the A66 and there is no need to cross it more than once. While the sign is modest due to planning rules, this is explained clearly in the instructions sent to you ahead of arrival... That you ignored on the website and via email.

4. You claim the site was “littered with rubbish” and “the worst campsite we’ve ever stayed on.” For clarity: items described as “rubbish” include **working farm equipment, two broken mowers awaiting repair, and materials** for planned improvements. These were located in non-pitch areas. Again, we would have happily clarified this on the day if you bothered to contact us half as much since you left badgering us over £20 odd pounds

5. Your private message was framed as constructive and helpful. The public review, however, shifts drastically in tone, describing the entire experience as “terrible” and the photos as “years out of date”—which is simply untrue - the shower unit is new to site this year as are the static caravans that replaced older accomodation. All images on our listing are current and representative of the site as it is today. It is a farm, don't expect a putting green

We welcome all feedback that helps us improve. However, when a review presents conflicting information and exaggerated claims, it’s important for us to clarify the facts to help future guests make an informed decision.

Gallows Hill is a simple, rustic, and affordable campsite on a working farm. We’re not a luxury resort, but we work hard to provide clean facilities, hot showers, and a warm welcome to all guests—many we hope to return regularly and appreciate our honesty and authenticity.

If any potential guests have questions or concerns, we encourage you to reach out directly before booking.

Kind regards

Понравилось Stunning views. Friendly owner left us a bag of wood for a fire. Level pitches. Clean shower block. Reasonable priced pitch.

Не понравилось A bit close to a dual carriageway so noisy, but the stunning views made up for that.
