Tyckte om We loved the location of the place and kids playing in the water.

Tyckte inte om Parents not watching there kids. Resulting in one boy throwing a rock with such force at my daughter. We ended up at hospital with a broken arm.
The facilities so much potential to be nicer.

Tyckte om Lovely stream and a quaint little camping site. Could be so much more but feels neglected and that the owners have lost interest.

Tyckte inte om Rats! Loads of them running around at night. Guess can’t be helped near a river but the tonnes of rubbish on the site would also be attracting them. The limited toilets / showers were also filthy and not cleaned once in the two days we stayed. Never saw any staff about tidying or cleaning at any point. No hot water in the showers but to be honest they were so dirty we didn’t want to use them. Didn’t feel any point in complaining to staff as they seemed disinterested and clearly not bothered about basic hygiene for guests. I think this site makes most of its income from weddings so they aren’t really bothered about making campers feel comfy. Bar was also closed the whole time we were there. Husband asked if he could buy a drink once when the shutters were up and staff in bar but they went to ask someone and then just said no! 🤣

Tyckte om Loved the cabin its self, was a lovely set up for how small it was it didnt lack facilities or space for us all, owner was lovely when we saw her out in the garden.
The stream is stunning and the swings, zip wires and little extras all around was excellent for the kids!
Atmosphere relaxing and breathtaking.
I brought my baby monitor but they even provided one of them which I was very surprised about, you can tell this is a family run business because they think about what families need.

We are already looking at booking again for September so we will see you then!

Tyckte inte om Only downfall was the shower, if there was people in the showers for the outside campers then the hot water for the cabin wouldn’t work, they came over to fix it and was lovely about it but then we figured out I had to wait till the outside campers finished, unfortunately with a baby it meant his bed time went well late and hes cranky when he doesn’t get his wash and bed ahah!
The noise from the toilet/shower area for the outside campers is right next to the bedroom window, unfortunately noise continued till 1am and this was when there was only 2 other families camping so I was surprised how noises it was but understand the family couldn’t monitor it all as they were probably asleep at that time and it was just young teenagers a little bit tipsy ahha

Tyckte inte om The toilets and showers need to be better bit in all fairness the kids that were staying there broke the pump which cost the owners alot of money

Tyckte inte om Disgusting toilets, not cleaned the whole while we were there, the washing up hut, no hot water and dirty, the elsan tank pump out of action, bar staff hit and miss. The rubbish bins over flowing

Från föreståndaren: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed the site itself, the brook, bar and TV facilities. However, we would like to clarify a few points for anyone reading your review, as some of the comments don’t give the full picture.

Our bar is only open on bank holidays and selected busy periods. As a small, family-run site, we simply don’t have the staff to fully man a bar throughout quieter periods. When the bar isn’t staffed, we have a bell available so that guests can let us know if they require assistance. We feel this is a reasonable arrangement for a small family-run campsite rather than leaving the bar permanently staffed when there may be very few customers.

Our toilet facilities are cleaned twice every day — once in the very early morning and again later in the day. Unfortunately, we cannot realistically clean the toilets continuously throughout the day. They are shared facilities, and we do ask all guests to leave them as they would expect to find them. With a river running directly through the site, keeping outdoor areas and toilet floors completely spotless at all times is also extremely difficult, particularly when people are coming in and out with wet or muddy footwear.

Regarding the hot water, this is particularly disappointing to see in a review because we were not made aware of any problem during your stay. Had you reported an issue to us, we would have had the opportunity to investigate and rectify it. We cannot resolve problems we aren’t told about.

We also have a skip, a Biffa waste bin and several other waste bins around the site, so we are surprised by the comment regarding rubbish bins overflowing. If a particular bin was full, we would have been more than happy to deal with it had we been made aware.

We appreciate that not every stay will be perfect and we welcome genuine feedback, as it gives us an opportunity to improve. However, we do think it is important that reviews also reflect the fact that we are a small, family-run campsite, rather than a large commercial holiday park with staff available around the clock.

We’re sorry that you wouldn’t choose to return, but we’re glad you did enjoy the location and some of what the site has to offer
.

Tyckte om Stunningly beautiful place.
Perfect for families.
Staff seemed friendly and the kids loved the duck race.

Tyckte inte om Toilet/shower areas could do with being updated and cleaned more regularly.
