Oakwood Marina

Понравилось: The cafe , the pizza place and the barge bar were brilliant . Huge rubber matts were put in place for our camper van because the ground was so wet

Понравилось: Location

Не понравилось: Staff member (an older man who seemed to spend a lot of time on a buggy) who was aggressive and bullied me and my cousin because I had misunderstood the manager’s instructions on how to get to the pitch and inadvertently drove on some grass. It was quite inappropriate and frankly scary - I don’t know what he thought he was going to achieve by shouting at us that ‘who is going to fix it?’ As two women travelling, my cousin and I are independent and used to all sorts of situations- however I have never been faced with this sort of aggression and bullying. Very sad because the site looks great and seems to have everything else a camper might need - but I have seen other reviews that mention an unpleasant staff member.

От менеджера: I'm sorry to hear of your bad experience at our site. The gentleman in question is indeed the site owner whom strives to ensure the site is the best it can been and kept in such a manor. I can only apologise for the manner if which this may have come across. You may think it is only grass, however, driving on wet saturated ground causes large amounts of damage which takes time and money to restore. If guests arrived to pitches full of ruts it would not only look very unsightly but defeat the object of us taking the time to install ground re-enforcement grids to ensure all guests can park on a level manicured pitch. People wouldn't take to kindly to driving over their front lawn so we expect the site to be treated the same so all guests can enjoy the tranquil experience of visiting our waterside location.

Понравилось: Amenities in the tent were good

Не понравилось: Bugs all throughout the bell tent, we walked in and saw atleast five dead spiders on the floor and bedding (which had stains all over it) and then when looking around the bell tent found a nest of spiders all around the perimeter of the tent. We left after five minutes and couldn’t stay the night as it felt massively unclean and unhygienic with bugs (dead and alive) throughout the whole bell tent must not have been cleaned/ inspected for a long time

От менеджера: Our tents are thoroughly cleaned before each visit, with all soft furnishings washed after each use. You visited our site, A back to nature sight during breeding season for spiders and daddy longlegs. Unfortunately, we are unable to ensure no spiders come into our tents which comes with part of the experience of going back to basics. No concern was raised with staff members upon arrival otherwise we would have relocated you to a different unit.

Понравилось: The location is excellent. Nice and quiet and lovely scenery. The barge pub on site was reasonable priced. The toilet blocks were clean when I visited. Owners were friendly. They do have rules which if you obide by then everything is good. No cars on the pitch.

Не понравилось: The no cars on pitch was a pain. Even though got all our gear loading onto a quad bike then took to our pitch. But couldnt find the quad bike the next morning for the camping gear to be taken back to the car park. Which is a good 400m away. 4 trips. Not what you want at 0830 on a Sunday morning.

Понравилось: This is a great site. Lovely setting with a nice little bar and pizza shack in the evening. Lots of boats passing through including a family of swans. Breakfast in cafe was good but just be wary of ordering a large tea because it’s huge and enough for at least two people. Toilets and showers were clean.

Не понравилось: It’s a big site so could do with a map for, example, where the washing up facilities were and how to access the canal towpath. Shower facility needs somewhere ie a shelf to put your toiletries. Need to tell the vehicle reversing on the path along the motor home site to turn off their reversing alarm at 6 o’clock in the morning !!!
