Could do with a mop, as a lot of grass gets carried in ! Car boot both days which was good, weather was fab so used the river with our kayak, made it to the pub, quite a long way along the river, but fun day !
Disliked: Nothing

Electric grass pitch
Liked: Amazing amenities. Toilets and showers were spotless Lovely surroundings, river, lock and a lovely cafe. The ground was easy to put in the pegs and nice and flat.
Disliked: One minor whinge was it looked like the grass had its first cut of the year so the was big clumps of damp grass that stick to everything. My car looked like the inside of a hay barn when we left lol.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for choosing to stay with us and that you enjoyed yourselves. The grass has been cut a few times this year and requires regular cutting. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Electric grass pitch
Liked: Space, access to countryside, friendliness of staff
Disliked: Main toilet block- would have benefited from being serviced across the weekend and some shelves/additional hooks in shower cubicles would be helpful
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: I am sorry that you will not visit again due to the lack of shelving and hooks in the showers. If we were to put shelves in the showers this would cause a hindrance in getting dried and dressed, we have a hook on the inside and outside of the shower cubicle doors to hand a towel and clothing.
Been here a couple times now and never really had any problems…

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: Lovely outlook, close to the river. The pitch we had also had a water tap. Toilets on the whole were clean, just a shame the grass cuttings are not collected as these are walked through the toilet/shower blocks. Very family orientated and can be noisy but must admit by 11.00pm it was quiet.
Disliked: Grass cuttings just left.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for choosing to stay with us. We do not collect the grass cuttings as it is better for the ground not to remove them. Environmentally grass should not be cut this time of year due to bees using the daisies and buttercups for pollination, however if the grass gets too long on the campsite it hinders camping and also makes the grounds look untidy. We look forward to welcoming you again.
