Μου άρεσε: This was our second year of staying at The Racecourse Retreat again it was for bank holiday weekend. We visited with our family members and their children and they absolutely loved it as much as we do. The staff are friendly and helpful always up for a chat. Over the weekend they had a number of events on for adults and children such as a live band and a film afternoon for the kids. The new shower block is such a benefit to the site i would say they could do with another 2 of them to accommodate all 3 fields for when its busy but we didn't encounter any issues, the ladies only toilet is such a lovely touch always clean and smelt nice. We'll be back next year !

Μου άρεσε: Food options being available on site ie pizza van, burgers etc. Friendly staff. Clean toilets and showers.

Δεν μου άρεσε: When we initially set up there were 2 boys (later realised were staff) going up and down the back farm behind the tents on a quad then motor bike revving it near the cows and scaring our dog as it was loud. We also weren’t aware of the music till late or that this was even on offer when booking through pitch up (shame this is isn’t clearer- depends what you’re after). I appreciate what the campsite was trying to do offering entertainment and the female singer was good but we had been given welcome info when we arrived which stated this would be on and by 11pm it was quiet time which is quite reasonable but it didn’t stop at 11pm and went on with another band starting again (it was very loud) if you were camped far away from the bar area/ band marquee you couldn’t get away from the noise. This was a bit of shame as we did want some sort of camping serenity. The only other downfall was the toilets and showers it was quite a big and busy campsite and they had 4 main toilets then showers attached behind with another 3 toilets and showers. Needed at least another toilet block/ showers in the main areas as there was always a queue. The only other one was at the bottom of a big hill at the campsite where you checked in and this was a big walk from the main tent pitches- also only open between 7am- 7pm. This would be a lovely campsite if the basic bits were looked at - more toilet facilities, calmer environment (even the second night which was a movie night they had put on in the marquee was really loud if you just wanted peace) and maybe a little shop for essentials rather than focusing on bands and bar.

Μου άρεσε: Friendly, organised site. Value for money and going the extra mile by providing bar and live entertainment.

Δεν μου άρεσε: Washing up facilities not quite sufficient for bank holiday demand!

Μου άρεσε: The facilities were clean most of the time and the pitch was very spacious. The woman who checked us in was lovely !

Δεν μου άρεσε: The atmosphere in the bar was odd and the people working in there made it awkward by staring at customers from the corner. The beer prices are high so definitely recommend drinking your own stuff. The music can be heard from the other end of the field so don’t be expecting to talk to your friends when it’s playing!

Μου άρεσε: We were lucky to stay during bank holidays and we loved the live band. My kids really enjoyed playing in the sandpit and the views were absolutely stunning.

Δεν μου άρεσε: Showers. Facilities were exceptionally clean but only one shower can be used at a time. After I covered my hair and body with soap there was no water coming in anymore as the other was in use and had to use the sink to wash it all off.

Μου άρεσε: This is our 4th visit to the racecourse and we were very pleasantly surprised with the new toilet/shower block. The team have done a fabulous job, they made our bank holiday weekend and we will definitely be returning, hopefully every year!

Μου άρεσε: Everything was great. Even though there were lots of campers over the bank holiday weekend, there was plenty of room between pitches. The scenery was beautiful. I was very impressed with the facilities, there were 3 unisex and 1 ladies toilet aswell as 3 shower rooms which also had toilets in. They were clean every time I used them. A nice added extra was the kids movie on Sunday afternoon. I will definitely be booking to go again.
