Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch
Liked: Great set up, clean, extensive facilities (individual site taps etc) and wonderful location. Really friendly staff
Disliked: Food order was poor at the on-site pub. Ordered food for outside table and went to check after an hour as they said there would be a delay, ended up being taken as a takeaway and was sat under hot lamps. I had to ask for it to be brought to table as was struggling with drinks. It was such a shame as just dried up. No apology offered just that it was ready and would have to have as a takeaway

Liked: Wonderful staff and beautiful food in the restaurant. Some great views of the estuary and sea from the top end of the site and close to some great walks. Access to the sister site which is huge and has incredible facilities was a bonus.
Disliked: Potholes. We arrived and they had just resurfaced the access road so had to pitch overnight in a different part of the park. Unfortunate and if they had advised us the day before we would have delayed by a day. Our fully serviced pitch had a literal uphill battle draining our caravan but the other side of the field wouldn’t have had this issue. Pay per use wifi £20/week.

Orchard camping pod (plus)
Liked: Nice quiet location but still within 15 minute drive of town. The pod was warm and spacious. We had good phone signal and was even able to put Netflix on for the kids in the evening
Disliked: The bed was a bit worn and tired so not the most comfortable sleep but when I fed this back the staff were attentive and helpful. There was a lot of potholes on some of the tracks around the site and the play park was very waterlogged but the weather had been very wet

From the manager: It is lovely to hear you enjoyed your stay in our warm and spacious glamping pod and its great the kids were able to relax with Netflix too. Thank you for sharing your review, it means a lot to us. Kind Regards The Castle Brake Team

Liked: The abilitions was kept in good working order, clean. The pitches was Spacious. Dog poo bins everywhere and didn't smell. Bar did good quiz nights and bingo. Reception was very helpful about the local area.
Disliked: Pot hole on every road, wasn't nice driving or walking. The angle of the speed bumps wasn't good, so when towing the caravan it was hard with the pot holes and the speed humps.
