Liked: Was a lovely campsite!! Myself and 2 year old absolutely loved staying here!! Seeing the peacocks free roaming was really lovely!! They came right up close and seemed very friendly (brilliant for taking photos, it’s like they’re used to it!!) such posers!! Would 110% be staying here again, even in a thunderstorm as that was incredible (I think because it was further away though, maybe not if it was right above us!!) would definitely recommend to other people and am already planning my next camping trip!! Pitch was really level with electric and water facilities with a nearby toilet/shower block too!! Staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome!! Didn’t have wifi but wasn’t expecting a campsite to have any if I’m totally honest!!

Liked: Good views
Disliked: Dirty toilets with no hand-wash. Nobody to ask accept the chef. Poor Access to toilet block. Bad unmade road to site. Noisy traffic using campsite to the riding stables. A lot of money for what we got, more expensive that caravan and motor home club with clean facilities. Strange comings and goings, people sleeping in cars too. Very disappointing all around.

Liked: Location
Disliked: Toilets covered in cobwebs, dirt. Hotel seems to be used for contractors working in local area rather than tourists which mean the atmosphere in the hotel bar is definitely aimed at a very boisterous clientele and not at all suitable for families.

Liked: Not a lot! Apart from a beautiful tree and the peacocks
Disliked: Everything really never have I been more disappointed with a campsite in my life, it was a saga. The approach is a nightmare very angled bends and overhanging growing in bushes and trees ready to scrap your caravan no maintenance is happening. Signs to enter campsite is not very obvious, we ended up going up wrong lane very stressful. On arrival I walked to the hotel bar and was greeted with yeah just pitch wherever no asking for my name at all. I had booked for 5 nights. The sanitary amenities are truly dire and dilapidated as you can see from my photos the standard of cleaning very poor, worst ever I have seen. Having a shower was an experience I don't want to repeat the water came on and off the flow was intermittent and claustrophobic no where to place clothes just 2 plastic stick on hooks on back of door. There was building work going on site construction of cabins trucks coming in and out. We saw no designated gravel/grass pitches as advertised only grass you just park where you like ......which means you can as we did, get someone in an enormous motorhome come and park directly beside us, who proceeded to take out their tables and chairs feet away from us facing us. Rough slopey ground we plonked ourselves in the middle of what is basically a field. No shady sites No privacy between sites Much smaller than appears in their photos I assume taken with wide angle Very unpersonable It was so bad we had booked for 5 nights and left after 3 and took the loss at £35 per night its was very very overly priced. It is certainly a "no frills campsite"

Liked: The site is stunning, quiet and relaxing. It is quite possible to spend the whole time exploring the beautiful grounds. Nature is abundant with peacocks, rabbits, Squirrels, cats, insects, horses etc. We never got as far as finding the play area but the lake and Manor are breathtaking. There was plenty of areas for the kids to run and the amenities were clean, tidy and accessible. Phone signal was sparse but this was actually a good thing as it meant we were able to enjoy simpler things. We are already planning our next camping trip here.
Disliked: The peacocks made some very strange noises (it is mating season) and this can be until quite late into the evening and early in the morning. However, ear defenders and ear plugs reduce and eliminate this issue.
