Liked: We have just come back from a 3 night stay at Riverside camping. When we first arrived the presentation of the gardens stood out, they are impressive and well maintained. Lovely greenery and flowers, very welcoming. We received emails prior to arriving of instructions of what to do which was helpful. We went straight to reception as asked and we met with Catherine, she was friendly and helpful. Catherine informed that they wasn’t that busy this week so if we wanted we could have a different pitch where we could see our children on the park, we took her up on this offer and it worked out great for our trip. Facilities nice and clean, due to it being quiet no issues with usage. Fresh flowers placed in the toilets which were a nice touch. We had a breakfast on site at the bistro that was lovely too. We went to a local quarry and a castle whilst away, all within a short driving distance. My husband and children had a go at fishing but did not catch, the weather was windy and very rainy at times. They spoke to some locals across the river who said they had a 13.5lb salmon this time last year. Children aged 11, 5 and 2, all had a great time and was sad to leave. Our dog also loved the trip, lots of walks for her. Wi-Fi was also great and no extra charge. Thank you for a great trip. We will return 😊
