This one has made me smile today.

DREADFUL SHOWERS!

That's strange Steven, if they were so terrible you'd think that this review section would be alive with outrage!

5 minutes trying to figure out how to use a shower that had instructions on how to use it correctly written on the wall. 5 minutes trying to fathom a button that turns it on and a temperature adjustment dial.

What happened here was, Steven went into the shower cubicle, ignored the instructions, flicked the shower on and turned it up to maximum so that it pre-heated the cubicle while he de-pantsed himself. That was his first mistake, this caused the shower to get so hot that it went into fault mode. "Whats going on here!?" thinks Steven "Its going hot and cold constantly! Maybe I should read the instructions..."

The instructions state clearly how to operate the shower AND how to get it out of fault mode if you chose to ignore the instructions.

I expect this was the point that Steven found out he was on a 5 minute timer and he descended into full panic mode.

This is why a lot of commercial sites have luke warm showers running off a 15 second push button on the wall. You know, the ones that the rest of us hate, theyre there because of the Steven's who leave bad reviews and spoil it for everyone else. I'm trying my best not to give in to them and provide good hot showers that the majority praise.

As for the local lads racing tractors, it was harvest time and these professional contractors were carting in grass for one day. They didn't run particularly late. You have to expect this when you're a guest in the working countryside. The reality of the countryside isn't another episode of Sarah Beany's latest Gentrification Dreams.

My favourite comment of all "We will not be visiting this site again!"

That comes as good news to me and, you may be surprised to learn, many others 😅

Ok, I'm going to break my vow of silence. I was trying so hard this year but you've driven me to it!

1. "We seemed to have booked the 2 days that coincided with the grass cutting(?)"

I'm not sure why you've put brackets around a question mark there but I guess that sets the tone for who I'm dealing with.

One day actually wasn't it Ffion, and for a period of about 12 hours. So, day one, no actual disturbance. Day two, activity started at around 10am and continued until 10:49pm. Which I'll grant you was quite late, but not horrific. Certainly not the claimed 1:09am wake-up call.

"Prove it!" I hear you cry!

Well I have multiple CCTV cameras around the farm that clearly picked up this range of activity. In fact, the only thing that happened at 1:09am was.... a big gust of wind. There had been no vehicle activity for well over an hour previous and nothing after that until well after daylight. I have presented this case to Pitchup and offered the supporting evidence. Unfortunately they have declined to remove this... well not so much a review is it, more of a whine that doesn't really serve any informative purpose. Just a "poor me" lament.

I should also point out that the lane isn't a main thoroughfare to all of the farms in the area, as you are carelessly implying. It leads to one farm and outside of that 12 hour period of grass carting sees very little traffic at all.

2. "Ladies Toilet Blocked and unusable!"

One toilet got blocked for about an hour in the morning. This was because someone had crammed it full of toilet paper. Now your comment seems to, again, carelessly infer that this left the Ladies with no toilet... you've not mentioned that this still left another toilet in use and was fixed within an hour. Did you contact me to let me know? Nah, I'll tut, walk past to the other toilet and save that for my internet whine.

3. Empty Cans of Air Freshener in Gents and overall could be cleaner"

You're really having to dig deep to try and find something to moan about now. An empty can of air freshener, the absolute horror! "overall could be cleaner".... could be alot dirtier as well couldn't they Ffion. They are cleaned, and cleaned regularly. Please see a whole host of other reviews that praise the facilities.

Summary

This isn't a country park, its a campsite located within the working countryside. Every now and then that countryside might cause a very mild disturbance. This is the case anywhere out in the sticks. 12 hours of mild disturbance out of the entire year and off you go to the internet to complain that this wasn't the Escape to the Country vision that you'd wanted, pulling down a small business in the process. If your experience had been a result of malicious intent in anyway then I might sympathise, but these guys weren't behaving maliciously at all and you were well looked after during your stay here. You should absolutely feel ashamed of yourself.
