Не понравилось There are great big long rows of plots. So the back rows have to pass your windows to get to the amenities. So not a relaxing site when everyone passing your window all the time.

От менеджера: How very disappointing you felt the need to give such a low score for just a single nights stay.

It would appear from your comments, that actually, there wasn't much to complain about?

Small sites like mine, are very affected by poor reviews and I feel your review was particularly harsh, and unnecessarily so.

I would urge you to talk to the owners of sites before doing this sort of thing again.

Понравилось Bathrooms were very modern and well specced. It is in a lovely rural area with good walks locally. A decent pub is within 1km.

Не понравилось I wasn't keen on the use of campfires and BBQs during the incredibly hot and dry summer we have had, it was a disaster waiting to happen. Also it was a bit like the wild west at times with the noise levels, there did not seem to be a 'lights out' policy or if there was it wasn't implemented. I was thankful that we all had earplugs.

От менеджера: It is always disappointing to get comments like this.
I often wonder why nobody tells me when I walk around the campsite. I am visible most days, especially at weekends.

It is important to me that everyone enjoys their stay and I am sensitive to noise issues and can usually do something about it IF people tell me.

Regarding fires, I was very conscious of the risks and tried to make sure everyone was careful, asking people to have water on hand and not leave fires unattended. Disposable BBQs have always been a no no, however people do occasionally ignore rules regarding this, and it is impossible to police. Someone even took a disposable into the field behind the campsite and left it behind. I would suggest it is those sort of people that cause the wild fires we have all seen on TV etc. not your average responsible member of the public.
I think fires and cooking outdoors is a major thing when camping and I didn't want to spoil that by stopping people having them.

I monitor the site as closely as I can without being intrusive, I do, however, have to sleep and cannot control everything that goes on.

Понравилось Very clean and organise…

Понравилось Really nice site with modern facilities. Good dog walking area and access to a public footpath which leads to the canal. Electricity is metered which I think is fair and the site is well laid out.
Location easy to find and nice to watch the planes as the sun goes down.

Не понравилось The bin area has rubbish piled up. There was one metal industrial bin and 2 bulk tonne bags. All was full and people dumped rubbish next to the bins. No recycling also.

Showers had a bit of mould in the sealant.

От менеджера: Thank you for your comments.
If I may address them:

The bins are very difficult to manage, that is why they are out of sight. Extra 'tote' bags are provided for overflow situations. All the rubbish was removed from site when everyone left on the Sunday afternoon.
I am always staggered at the amount of rubbish people create, it would seem that 'saving the planet 'doesn't apply whilst camping!

Recycling is done at the collection company site.

Mould on the sealant is a constant battle
