喜欢: Camped here last year & loved it. Decided to book the ramblers retreat this year & when we arrived we’d been upgraded to the little lodge & again loved it. The couple that run the site are lovely the lodge was lovely & very warm & clean with everything we needed.. Although the weather was overcast we still had a great weekend & will go back.

喜欢: We stayed over the Easter weekend, after silly amounts of rain and a waterlogged site the owners were incredibly accommodating helping us have the best time possible while we stayed, facilities were spot on, the field was lovely and fishing lake was a bonus. We visited the usual cheddar gorge, durdle door etc and the site was central to everything we wanted to do, and following the owners recommendation for all you can eat breakfast under 5 minutes away we were very chuffed both mornings, will 100% be coming back when we are next down south👌🏼

喜欢: * The camping pod is lovely, with nice little homely touches. There's a double sofa-bed (although not the most comfortable) and a much-welcomed TV and heater. For warmer weather, there's also a decking area with chairs and table. The camping pod was clean and welcoming. * The on-site toilets/shower are really clean and the showers are individual cubicles. * It's very close to Shaftesbury, which is a nice little place. Close to a nice park and skate park too. I'd recommend the nearby Tank Museum and Haynes Motor Museum for day-trips. Not much within walking distance though, a car is needed.

不喜欢: * I wouldn't say this site was particularly picturesque. It is literally behind a petrol station and the first thing you see is a huge row of wheelie bins - not the best first impression. There is also a mechanics/MOT garage and a caravan sales company, all looks a bit tatty. * There are lots of signs warning against fly-tipping and an instruction to phone the owner on arrival. I phoned and was greeted by 'Oh you're here already?' and then I was told to wait 5 minutes! The strange welcome continued as I was then told his wife usually dealt with camping pod check-ins rather than him. Although, it was the first weekend of the season and was very quiet due to wet weather-related cancellations. * The fishing lake (in all the pictures) is nowhere to be seen! Don't expect it to be near the camping pod, it is two fields away! It would be nice for the accommodation to be overlooking the lake. * It is on a busy main road so lots of traffic noise. * What was once the reception appears to be now boarded up and used for storage. * The camping pod is in the corner of a field, dominated by 6/7 semi-permanent caravans/trailers where construction/road workers appeared to be living. There is also a man living on the site in a winnebago. It does look/feel more like a trailer park. Although they were all friendly enough, it was rather off-putting as a lone female. * Would not recommend for families for the above reason and as there are limited facilities. * The camping pod is small - there is little room for anything else once the sofa bed has been pulled out. * The camping pod is advertised as 'with parking space' but that was not true, we were told NOT to park next to the camping pod as it was too muddy. Unfortunately the nearest parking spot was in the car park along the path and round the corner, not the most convenient way to unload/store items when travelling as a single mum with a young child! * There are not enough plug sockets, bearing in mind the lights/TV/heater need to be plugged in. You have to rotate electrical items - and don't forget to pack your own kettle. * The toilets/showers are not close! We had to walk past one closed and locked toilet block to get to the toilet block that was open. Although very nice, there are only a handful of toilets and a couple of showers, so there's probably quite a wait when busy.

来自经理: Good morning anonymous, WOW, that is the longest review we have ever had but thank you for taking the time out to write it as it must have taken up a lot of your time. So I will try and make my response brief. I agree with you but due to the bad weather our campsite is not as picturesque as we would like it to be at the moment. Firstly can I mention, it is stated on our website that when booking Ramblers Retreat " You have to bring everything you would normally bring for camping just not the tent", so sorry, we do not supply a kettle. We actually closed the campsite for the time you were here hence it was so quiet, due to the bad weather conditions but honoured your booking for the pod as not to disappoint and I believe you were told, after complaining, you could park next to the pod at your own risk of getting stuck in the wet ground. Oh and NOT one of our seasonal pitches, consisting of motorhomes and caravans belong to construction/road workers Unfortunately due to having a 30 acre site we cannot place everyone round the lake!, as much as we would like to. Yes, we are on a main road and the entrance is to the side of an Esso garage and may I add, with a very convenient licensed Londis Supermarket, but once you get through the main gates you have 30 acres to enjoy. The Winnebago you mentioned is parked there due to its size, we endeavour to cater for all sizes of units on our site. Unfortunately the much needed wheelie bins have to be put somewhere!! I could comment more but unfortunately have run out of time! You really should have come to us with any concerns you may have had while you were here and we would have endeavoured to resolve them.
