The Shottisham Campsite

喜欢: Site was easily accessible despite its remote location and the information provided in the welcome pack was useful. Plenty of nice walks for the dogs and only an hours stroll from the Ramsholt Arms. Toilet and shower areas were clean and well presented. Water points were easily located and the two facility blocks seemed sufficient, with the site reasonably busy for the Bank Holiday weekend.

不喜欢: Whilst we expected mobile phone signal to be poor, we were advised that WiFi was available across the site. Sadly we found this not to be the case. Whilst the network was found on each of our 3 devices, none of them were able to make a connection and thus we were not able to 'stay in touch' etc.
We found that the hot water was a bit hit and miss, often washing hands in luke warm water. A couple of washing up trips were unsuccessful due to the lack of warm water. The showers we had were nice, however.
Lack of rainfall meant the ground was incredibly hard, although hardly the operators fault. Finally, the quiet hours were not generally observed or enforced... plenty of children running around screaming at 6:30 am on a Sunday morning (again, hard to blame the operator for this).
We did not however deem it necessary to contact the operator for any of these issues and decided to embrace nature and the camping life!

来自经理: Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed walking with the dogs around the campsite. We are in a remote but beautiful area with really good walking. Unfortunately the remoteness, while lovely, does make some things difficult such as phone reception and wifi. I'm really sorry you had problems connecting to the wifi. Some people did mention this. I tried troubleshooting the system over the weekend and managed to get connectivity. Unfortunately, there is only so much data available. When I had the system installed I decided to try and offer free wifi and pay for a specific phone line and monthly package but the data is limited which means if lots of people are streaming films or tv shows etc it can be hard for everyone to join. I am thinking that maybe I need to just get a third party to install and run wifi provision which unfortunately means people would have to pay to log on, but it might be better i terms of reliability. When I first installed the system because of our remote location and lack of phone coverage no other companies wanted to provide a service so we went with what there was. I will get in touch with the person who installed the system to ask if there is anything else I can do to improve matters in the meantime.

Glad the showers were good - sometimes at peak times of the day the hot water can run out - we have a boiler system and it takes time to reheat when being used a lot. I am hoping to get more solar panels and maybe also will try and get some more boilers as well - again being remote makes it quite hard providing services as we have limited electrical supply and no gas so can't have on demand heating for water.

I try and run a quiet campsite and if you text me I will always politely ask people not to make a lot of noise at unsocial times such as 6.30am.

喜欢: Everything! Great, clean toilets and showers, level pitches and in beautiful surroundings. Claire made us feel very welcome and communication was very good.
We ate in the local pub on the first evening and would highly recommend this too.

喜欢: Lovely level grass pitches, clean toilets and showers. In a wonderful location with great walks in the countryside and along the river. Good to see chickens roaming freely around the site, goats and alpacas the other side of the fence. Nice pub 5 minutes walk away, we didn’t eat there but the food looked good.

不喜欢: The only negative was the Wi-Fi not working at all when the site was quite full. Once most of the other campers had left it was fine.

来自经理: So pleased you had a lovely time at the campsite and enjoyed seeing all my lovely animals. I understand about the wifi. I pay for a separate phone line and wifi package but I know that when the campsite is very busy and lots of people try and stream films etc then it can be hard to access. I wanted the wifi to be free, but in the future I could consider getting more bandwidth, but then I would probably have to get a third party to organise it and charge for the service. I will definitely have athink about it though.
Hope to see you again soon

喜欢: Lovely clean toilets and showers, flat pitches with lots of space, beautiful surroundings, feeding the farm animals, all the info we needed before arrival (including allocated pitch number).

Martha the Alpaca and the farm dog deserve a special mention too.
