Liked: Signal is very good
Disliked: It's very unfriendly to charge money for bathing. There are too many people in the campground. The number of people should be limited.

From the manager: Thankyou for your review. If you read the details of the campsite before you arrived you would know that we charge for the showers due to this enabling everyone to have a hot shower and not running out. You booked a Bank Holiday weekend so of course it is busy but we do not cram people in and there was plenty of room. You did arrive a day late therefore it was full when you arrived. Can I also remind you that some of your friends constantly had their dogs off leads and were told about it on numerous occasions.
Great campsite. Will be going again.

Liked: Excellent location, great facilities- cleaned regularly. Park and farm animals were great for the children. Convenient shop on site
Disliked: Only slight negative and not a major problem was that the shower temperature was temperamental and there was no control to change the temperature manually

Liked: Very clean, lovely maintained fields, not massively bumpy etc. Slight slope but comfortable to deal with. Hire of fire pits. Amenities. Good choice of pitch spaces too. Kids loved playing area.
Disliked: Showers- Was aware of the 20p per minute charge but the payment machines are outside the cubicles, which isnt great when anyone can just walk in, but when the door opens to full view of half the campsite when someone does walk in, doesn't really give any privacy. Then it's not a very powerful shower, more of a trickle so need to buy more time in order to wash properly. Pot wash- signs stating use washing up bowl to not waste water, yet no bowl supplied, not even a plug for the sink and the water was boiling hot so water was wasted cos there was no way to work it when we had not thought to buy a bowl to bring.

From the manager: Hi, Im sorry you experienced problems with the showers and pot washing. The meters in the top block have a minute delay after you have put your money in which gives you time to get in the shower, the bottom block starts straight away but does tell you this, we cant have the meteres in the showers due to the electrics but neither are in full view of the campsite so dont understand your point ? If we didnt have them then people spend so long in the shower they use all the hot water and then people complain as its run out. Pot washing bowls are available to buy in the shop, using them stops the waste of water we do provide plugs but annoying people keep pinching them, and we will check the water temperature, thankyou.
