The Cob House Countryside Park

Liked: stayed on pitch 2 which was more than big enough for our twin axel caravan. Great views of the fishing lakes and the amenity are close which were spotless. site warden was great, nothing to much trouble, he even offered to barrow my fishing tackle to the pegs as i did not bring mine along. fishing is superb with numerous 100 pound plus weights winning club matches while i was there. will not hesitate to return. just be mindful that the lakes can be busy with match bookings but there was always some pegs available for pleasure fishing. we did not eat in the cobb house café but the breakfasts looked very good. there are a couple of local pubs within easy driving distance both serving quality food.

Disliked: phone and tv signal signal very poor but a small price to pay for the great location. there was free wifi in the café if you need to connect.

Liked: Good activities for the children. Nice little animal farm. Good restaurant facilities.

Disliked: Very close to neighbouring tents. Lack of privacy and noise levels of some disrespectful adults and children up until all hours. This however was on a bank holiday and I would imagine it would be quieter at other times. Ball games were an issue, hard cricket balls and rugby balls should definitely not be allowed around vehicles. Or outside other people's tents. There was also a firepit fire whilst we there due to unruly children but thankfully it was distinguished before anyone was hurt or tents caught on fire. This has left my grandson traumatised and he has said he would not want to return here due to some families being very irresponsible when they have 8 or more children with them letting them run wild. The warden, Micheal, was lovely and helpful but I can see his job must be very hard at times. My husband also slipped over in the mud at the bottom gate, hurting his back It was almost impassible after the rain, to get to the toilets. This really needs gravel or a proper slabbed pathway putting in. Long walk with children to the toilets and shower block. Not ideal in the middle of the night. I can see this place has many positives but unfortunately our experience on the tent site was not good.

Liked: The campsite was in a nice location and the pitches were of a good size. If you are into small lake fishing, then this is a good site for you. The team on reception were very polite and helpful with our booking.

Disliked: The warden - he comes around looking for problems or conflicts as soon as you arrive and although this is his job, he would do better approaching customers with a little more empathy and respect. The showers are not acceptable with having to press the button on the wall every 2 seconds which is irritating and tiresome. This needs to be rectified as it is not conducive to having a decent shower. There are also only two toilets for men which often involved queuing for them which isn't really sufficient at all. The washing up facilities were very small also with only two sinks.

Liked: Excellent site with a friendly informative warden. Mike was always making sure you were all ok with your stay. The site is a fishery with many lakes and is open to the general public and to people using the site. We don’t fish so we didn’t use this facility. It also has a cafe which serves breakfast and snacks along with alcohol too. We had a few drinks sat out by one of the smaller lakes. Great friendly staff and reasonable prices. There is also a small animal holding on the site with alpacas, ponies, pigs, goats, hens and a reindeer. Nice for the kids and adults who like animals. There is also a small park for the kids. We did a local 5 mile walk which was kindly printed off for us by Mike the warden. We ended our walk at the local pub which was lovely and reasonably priced too. The wash facilities were clean however I noticed on reviews complaints about the showers not staying on for long when you pushed the button. I never had a problem in the ladies and mine stayed on both times for a long period. However the gents didn’t stay on at all and my partner was constantly pushing the button. Maybe a fault. We didn’t have the chance to inform Mike about this problem. There is Wi-Fi but only in the cafe. You can’t get it at the pitches. Also our phone signal was limited. We didn’t mind as we were on holiday. Apart from that we really enjoyed our stay and would return.

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Location and animals, surrounded by countryside and not too far if you fancy a stroll to the nearest pub. Warden was very helpful. Pitches were not overcrowded. Site was clean and tidy.

Disliked: Grass surrounding pitch was quite boggy on arrival but this was immediately rectified with placing down temporary plastic walkways.
