Понравилось: Wonderful campsite with the perfect amenities and more including fridge, freezer, microwave and washing machine! The hosts were fantastic, so friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely lovely people. Before our stay they were in contact with us regarding the weather and the site conditions, advising us to bring wellies which were a needed due to the British weather! We had a cracking stay in all of England’s wind and rainy glory! They did awesome cooked breakfast, served local cider and ales and have a fab area. You can pay on arrival to hire a fire pit and they provide a bin of dried fire wood on a trolley to transport. Everything was so good! Would definitely return.

Понравилось: The food was nice ,and it was close to where we wanted to visit .

Не понравилось: We felt that they could do more for the site,eg .. the water for washing up was cold,and we feel perhaps they could put gravel down for the tracks and pitches as it was very wet and muddy ,fair enough there was a tractor to pull you in and out ,but they could improve it .

От менеджера: Good evening, thank you for your review. Our camping site is grass pitches on a working farm, as shown,not a park with driveways and roads.(so many sites were still closed from the winter) The relentless wet weather this winter has made the conditions difficult. All campers last Wednesday had emails making you aware of the conditions. We could have closed the site but that would have spoilt the Easter break for every one. Also at the same time Gerald (76) & Jake working in the rain applied a further 8 tons of hard core(£ 600 ) to make an extra track across the camp field, ( we did similar at half term) first having to temp fence off at least 20 pitches as they were under water. We were trying really hard to make every-ones holiday happen over a wet weekend. When I did my cleaning shift Saturday morning I cleaned the wash up sinks & both had plenty of running hot water , if the system changed mentioning it at the time would have been good as we always have a replacement unit for instant fitting. Most guests made the very best of the situation and enjoyed what we had to offer, noticing the huge effort we put in for the campers.Gerald was extra busy as had to do his regular farm work but still spent a lot of time on site with campers. Obviously our site is not for you, we wish you well on your future travels. Pam and Gerald.

Понравилось: Owners Pam and Gerald couldn’t have been more accommodating, unfortunately the weather has been very wet recently and they emailed in advance to warn the site would be muddy. They also moved us to hard standing at no extra charge providing electric hook up to match our needs. Gerald checked we were settling in ok and facilities were as expected in terms of showers and toilets etc. basic campsite with a homely touch added. We only stayed for one night but steak at dinner was amazing but service was at a more steady pace as it appeared that Pam and Gerald were doing it all. Hats off to them and the setting would be much more enjoyable in drier weather. Our children enjoyed seeing some animals on the farm, don’t expect polished facilities and play parks that you would get with the likes of Parkdean, but it gives you everything you need to get a night off the beaten track

Не понравилось: Facilities were a little rough and ready with concrete floors etc, made it slightly more difficult to deal with children. Couldn’t find the advertised baby change but I didn’t ask about it either

От менеджера: Good morning. Thank you for taking the time to review. It was a hugely tough weekend keeping the site open with the recent bad weather, we are a grass site but the lucky ones could come onto the hard surfaces to pitch up.Being a farm Gerald was always on site with his tractor to getting vehicles on and off. We keep the Swallows Rest area with concrete floors purposely so campers can come and go in their outside footwear and not have any worries.There are 3 toilets and showers with a lino finish including the family/baby change room that is situated forward of your pitch just to the left of the Swallows rest door. ( on your welcome letter i think it says near the commercial kitchen) Service for the bar and restaurant was also challenging Friday evening as our front of house was unexpectedly unable to be there and couldn't let me know until after 9pm, but as usual we pushed on and coped,Saturday we were back on course. Please ask for things that are not always obvious , we are here to help you enjoy your stay. We hope to see you back again one day. Pam & Gerald.
