Liked: Beautiful campsite, super friendly staff, good toilet/shower/wash up facilities, provided soap and scrubbers - great as I forgot mine! Level pitches and lovely shady area with picnic benches.
Disliked: Road noise was too loud for us, might be OK if your used to living by a road. Wash up is by door to mens loos.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks for the review. Sorry about the road noise, we have done a lot of shrub planting to help with this but it will take time to grow. With regards to the washup station being next to the men's WC this is something we cannot do anything about due to the drainage and plumbing positions. We have notes on the main door of the WC requesting it be closed when leaving. Sorry to hear that you will not be staying again.

Meadow electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Lee who runs the site was very welcoming and accommodating. The site was spotless and very well layed out.
Disliked: The only thing that drops it to a 4* instead of a 5* are the showers sloughs very clean and tidy and kept well at all times. The water pressure was not great and I’m not sure if it was me but the water kept going from cold to hot and back to cold again.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks for the review. Sorry to hear you had trouble with the showers, unfortunately we were very busy over the bank holiday weekend, which meant the wc/showers were in constant use. We did explain that we are in a low water pressure area, as we are a farm site, and that all the showers are electric. We also have further instructions in each of the shower rooms to help make sure you get the best out of them. Hope to see you again.
Clean facilities, spacious pitch and friendly owner.

Liked: Spacious, level pitches on this leafy site surrounded by trees. Toilets and showers spotless. Owner friendly and informative.
Disliked: There is noise from the busy road nearby but it is much quieter later on and overnight.

From the manager: Thanks for the review. Sorry about the road noise, but there is not much we can do about it, but as you state after the rush hour it becomes much quieter. We have also done a lot of shrub planting to help with this but it will take time to grow. Hope to see you again soon.

Liked: Friendly owner, given information leaflet on local attractions. Well kept site. Drinking water, grey waste drainage on our pitch. Individual gravel area to park alongside our own grassy area. Picnic benches in shady area. Beautiful trees and birdsong! Very clean facilities, big showers with benches far enough away to keep belongings dry.
Disliked: Poor vision on exit of site onto road with sometimes fast moving traffic.(obviously something not under the owners’ control!)
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you very much for your positive review, its great to hear that you enjoyed our campsite. Sorry about the road traffic, as you say it's something we cannot control, but we have cut the verges back to increase visibility to help improve this.
A very enjoyable stay.

Liked: We had a fantastic weekend at Bluebell Meadows Campsite. It was very peaceful and the staff was very helpful. The facilities were very clean and the campsite itself was well-kept. There are nice shaded areas for the kids to sit and the campsite is close to a lot of sites to visit. We will certainly visit again.

From the manager: Thank you for the great review, its wonderful to know that you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed our site. Hopefully when you visit next time you will be able to see more of our beautiful County. Hope to see you again soon.
