Понравилось Wonderful site, clean amenities that are well maintained and very dog friendly. Large space and owners are very accommodating. Would definitely recommend and visit again. Local attractions and beaches only 10-20 minutes away, bus routes available from the site, and child friendly space with a park and games room. Great site, will be back again!

Понравилось Leaving

Не понравилось No wifi, no electric, queueing for toilet/showers, and screaming kids

От менеджера: Thank you for your review.
You decided to stay 6 nights at the end of the summer holidays knowing children would be here, clearly family campsites are not for you. “Screaming kids“ as you put it or children having fun as we put put it, are part of any campsite during the holidays, so we recommend that either you choose an adult only site where there is likely to be late night drinking and noise or wild camping rather than a family campsite.

We went out of our way to give you a private pitch away from others which you seemed grateful for on arrival and it would appear you were not happy with that whilst others would be very grateful.

Unfortunately, the area did have a power cut for 8 hrs during your stay which also powers the Wi-Fi and some of the toilets and showers and our water pumps, this was totally out of our control.
However, we managed to keep a basic service running from generators and stored water tanks and we refrigerated as many people’s food as we could.

We also offered all customers that lost power a refund of that cost, had you come into the office you would of received that.

During the peak season it is likely that you will queue for any service where ever you go, but we didn’t whiteness huge queues at any point during the entire summer, so we think it’s unreasonable to think that any outlet whatever it is will have an instant facility for you during peak season.

We also encourage customers to come and see us, rather than wait until they leave to go straight to the keyboard, had you came and seen us it would have given us a chance to try and resolve any issue you were having and we would of had the chance to explain the issues we were having.

Sadly campsites are not infallible to service outages and so we feel this is an unfair and an unnecessary inaccurate review, given that you managed to stay 5 nights, and raising no issue with us before leaving a day early without informing us of your departure.

Понравилось Loved the shop, had little things we needed. Check in process was so easy! Liked you could choose where to pitch up.
Loved that they had a bar and pizza van on Sunday night (bank holiday) with a singer! Made such a lovely evening!

Не понравилось Toilets and showers could be slightly better but loved that they had port a loos dotted around the airfield so you didn’t have to walk really far for a wee

Понравилось Fabulous stay , weather was beautiful,the campsite was clean and tidy. Our pitches where very spacious(no set lines) ,staff on duty regularly checked loos and showers to keep them clean(disinfecting them),
Enjoyed watching the neighbours playing football and catch in the middle area as the sun set .we took our motorhome and a tent for our teenages , the ground was very hard (definitely need rock pegs) for tent but is understandable as was very dry when we went ,, I recommend this place for all the family ages ;-) was very peaceful, close to sidmouth,Lyme Regis,beer

Не понравилось The 4-5 portaloos on the left side of airfield where getting a abit pongy due to the hot weather ,, the smell drifted up the field ,, I think afew people must of smelt them too ,,
Luckily we chose to park further up the field where we couldn’t smell them ,, but other than that everything else was great

От менеджера: Thank you for the review and lovely pictures
We are afraid you may have smelling a local farmer spreading slurry and not the portaloos as they smell was also down on the lower site as well.
We look forward to seeing you again, if you come on any other date than a bank holiday you will not be up the runway with portaloos but in the main site

Понравилось Everything there was not a bad thing to say. Tracy and Chris were very helpful and very clean and tidy site.

Понравилось There were several things I liked about the campsite.
Tracy was friendly and welcoming and we pitched up on the airstrip.
The facilities were clean and the shower had plenty of hot water.
There were lots of portaloos around the site as well as the main toilet block, which was really handy.
On the Sunday, there was a pop-up bar and a musician, which added a bit of excitement, as well as the pizza bar.
The dog paddock was great for my dogs to run around in too.
The coast was less than 15 mins drive and there were hiking paths with stunning views.

Не понравилось Pitching up on the airstrip proved difficult for standard tent pegs. On the website it said 'Strong rock pegs are advised after spells of dry weather'. The airstrip itself was some sort of clay with grass over the top. This made it difficult for standard pegs but luckily a fellow camper gave us a good tip. Slant the standard tent peg quite a bit to get the pegs in. Hammering down the windbreaker was a bit tricky too because of the clay but we only just managed.
One other thing, a drone was flying around the site, up and down the airstrip. I asked one of the 'patrol' staff member about it and he told me that the owner had given permission. It was for taking photos of the site. This made us feel uncomfortable as the drone flew over us several times.

От менеджера: Thank you for your review for your stay over the bank holiday weekend, the ground this year is very hard due to no rain this year and lots of sun
