Too much shouting and weed being smoked

Jun 2025

Liked We loved the campsite. It was a great place to stay with friends. The owners were very friendly and helpful on arrival. The tents were lovely.

Disliked The downsides were that the owners and their friends were smoking a lot of weed and making a lot of noise in the communal kitchen which was loud when our children were trying to get to sleep.It was not ideal as there were many young children there. The owners and their friends were gathering near the toilets when our children were coming out of them which was a bit strange and chatted very loudly in the kitchen and socialised there until the early hours.Also we could hear a couple of them (the owners friends?) having a huge argument at 1am in the morning which woke us up and we had to ask them to be quiet (pretty loudly as they were screaming at each other) so this made it not hugely family friendly and would sadly not return because of this because of the noise and excessive weed smell.

From the manager: Thank you for your candid feedback. We can only apologise for any noise which disturbed you, it would seem some of our guests were a bit boisterous after having been to the "Clare Party in the Park", which is a yearly festival. It was pouring with rain on the Saturday evening, and we were sitting in the kitchen to take shelter. The kitchen is not positioned near the tents, so as to minimise disturbance, and I do not recall lots of shouting or speaking really loudly, we were playing some music on a speaker at a reasonable level. There were other guests which were staying with children that night and we received 5* reviews on Airbnb from them, so either they didn't hear the noise or it wasn't disturbing them. Our storage barn is opposite the toilets and we were also taking shelter at the front of it out of the rain. Neither of us smoke so we do not agree with the comment "the owners were smoking weed". I did hear some one scream "shut up" around 1 am, which woke me up, but nothing more. We are aiming to be a family friendly site, as you can read from most of our previous reviews. The issues which seemed to occur that night, were a one off, and we are ensuring nothing like this happens in the future as far as we can. We try to go the extra mile for our guests if we can, and we feel we did on this occasion by charging their electric Car overnight for 2 nights rather than them having to go to a garage with children and wait to charge.
