Liked: Glorious setting, tranquil a and beautiful with lovely woodland walks, with fabulous swimming changing families and a wood fired sauna, good toilet facilities and cafe on site. With the new lighting around the lake and the fire pits the full moon wim was just magical and had a wonderful time. Couldn’t use the camping field as too boggy.
Disliked: Having to use the car park was a dissapointment as very busy but far better than getting stuck in a field, so asked to park very close to other campers , due to being a very busy full moon swim. Said we could move out when swimmers had gone but all too tired to do that. Also sadly now no dogs are allowed on site , which means I can’t come back as can’t leave my elderly lurcher and I was hoping to have many more stay over swims with my friends.

Liked: Loved PoolBridge. The lakes were fabulous either for swimming or sitting round. Very pretty full of wildlife. Cafe on site which was great.
Disliked: A good walk to the toilets and shower from the camping ground. I think this is being sorted over the winter. But other than that it was great

Liked: very tranquil location, no electric hook up so back to basics. nature walk around the whole site. fire pits and picnic benches appreciated. swimming lakes are wonderful. limited phone signal / no wifi contributed to relaxation.
Disliked: toilets and showers are limited and muddy as mainly a resource for swimmers. not enough hot water for washing up. not sure if any staff on site after swimming lakes closed.
