Od správce: Such awesome pics of family fun at the lake and at your tipi...thank you so much for posting with your fantastic 10 out of 10 review! We're so glad you had such a good time and apologies for the rubbish signal - not much we can do about rural signal unfortunately but if you walk up the lane towards Reception a little way from the private tipis it does get much better. What we can do is sort out any failed solar lighting so the Asst Manager is going down after dusk this evening to check out the loo block nearest to your tipi and sort out any problems - thanks so much for letting us know and hope to see you again next year!

Líbí se: The weekend was so magical! My boys became brave enough to go on boats and enjoyed fishing/ chasing chickens and roosters. The staff were so friendly. I’m American and this place reminded me of home. The little cafe was an added bonus.

Od správce: Thank you so much for the top 10 out of 10 rating & lovely review - magical is a word we love to hear & it's how we feel about the campsite too! We're so pleased your boys enjoyed themselves and enjoyed the lake (the chickens have just about got over it!) and you found our staff friendly & enjoyed the cafe. We know Americans are famous for the welcome & hospitality they offer so are honoured our place reminded you of home. Look forward to seeing you again!

Líbí se: Large private pitch (Dykes). Ability to have a camp fire. Beautiful lake with activities and free to fish large rainbow trout. Option to eat at Gastropod. Central to lots of beaches and activities. Very friendly and helpful staff. No dogs allowed -this was a massive plus for us.

Nelíbí se: COMPOSTING LOOS! Massive let down. Very smelly. Very unhygienic. Shared with a lot of fellow campers who do not use properly or with care. For the size of the site, more flushable and clean loos needed. For the price paid for this beautiful site, the communal facilities were not acceptable. The loos and showers nearby to the Dykes pitch had no lighting. The solar lights were broken. This was the most disappointing issue for us.

Od správce: Thanks so much for calling us a fantastic off grid campsite and giving us 8 out of 10 overall. It sounds as if we got lots of things right during your stay such as your private camping pitch, campfires, the lake with fishing etc but you obviously really disliked the composting loos (the nearest loo to your pitch being a composting one, although of course there is a standard flushing block 2 mins walk away) and it also sounds as if some of your fellow campers that week were either casual or negligent when using the unit closest to your tent. This can become a problem when we're busy - especially in the school holidays when we may have children using the composting loos without parental supervision. This is often when mistakes/accidents etc happen. We are always very keen for our staff to be alerted to anything unpleasant in any loo or just something mechanical like a broken light. The problem is we can't help immediately unless we know about it at the time. A quick trip to Reception to speak to someone or even to leave a note if staff are all out & about working across the site should resolve the problem. We're really sorry we didn't live up to our usual high standards when you were here but would be delighted if you'd like to come back when our new loo block is built next year!

Líbí se: The amazing swimming lake with free boats and canoes already there on the lake. This campsite is all about the lake. The facilities were fine - hot showers, sinks and compost toilets (flushing ones apparently nearby too). There's a cafe onsite (didn't actually use it though). It was quiet and peaceful at night (no wedding that night!)

Nelíbí se: Would be very different if there was a wedding on, as the reception marquee is right next to the campervan area, so definitely worth checking before booking - there was one the day we checked out - a Thursday (so don't assume this is just weekends). Pricing policy was in our favour this time, as it is per-person rather than per-campervan - we were 1 adult, 1 child, so price was reasonable. With 2 adults and 1 or 2 children, it would be very expensive for bringing your own campervan (or tent)!

Od správce: Thank you for your great review - glad you enjoyed the lake and the boats!! We do ask Meadow campers to check before they book if there is a wedding on - many guests enjoy the atmosphere of them but we are aware it's not for everyone...

Líbí se: The lake and surroundings

Nelíbí se: The mud

Doporučit přátelům Navštívit znovu

Od správce: We really appreciate the 8 out of 10 rating and are delighted you liked the lake and we're sorry about the mud...it's been probably the wettest peak summer weeks we can remember and the mud has been an issue. Needless to say we've now got a mini heatwave and the mud is long gone! Do come again when hopefully there'll be better weather :)

Líbí se: Setting & lake. Very eco friendly

Nelíbí se: No hot water in showers - ran out of gas Too expensive

Od správce: Thank you for your review. We are glad you liked the woodland setting and the lake and hope you managed a swim or row about in one of the boats!. Normally the showers are lovely & hot. You don't say if you contacted the staff so they could look into it for you? Sometimes the gas needs changing or if windy the pilot lightoccasionally goes out but this doesn't take long to fix. Everything seems to be expensive at the moment but our prices include things that other places don't, ie boating, swimming, fishing etc (catch your own supper of fresh rainbow trout) on our lake at no extra cost. There are beautiful woodland walks and lots of wildlife right on your doorstep. You can also have a campfire which lots of places don't allow...

Líbí se: We liked just about everything really! The 2 sites we stayed at prior to arriving were notably cheaper but we understood why once we arrived. We loved the lake and that there were boats to use as well as being able to swim or fish. We had such a relaxing morning there! We also loved all the animals roaming around, the peacocks were just hilarious to watch and listen to but my favourite was the cat. What an absolute sweetheart, he/she made my entire week! The staff, we only met one.. the guy with glasses but he was really helpful. Just the general vibe of the place was incredible. We can't wait to come back after the summer holidays have ended

Nelíbí se: Nothing

Líbí se: Amazing amazing location and facilities. The lake is brilliant, beautiful and clean. We adored swimming and fishing there, we also took our paddleboards. There are peacocks and chickens and rabbits milling about the place and its overall just fab. We We absolutely be back.

Od správce: Thanks so much for the brilliant 10 out of 10 rating and the awesome pics! So glad you had such a great trip & so loved the lake - we love it when campers bring their own boards and do a bit of SUPPing our little stretch of inland water. We'll look forward to seeing you again soon!

Líbí se: Brilliant place the site is great we will be returning soon

Nelíbí se: No dislike the place is great

Doporučit přátelům Navštívit znovu

Od správce: Wow! Definitely showing us how camping suppers should be done! We love your menu of our fresh caught lake trout, seasonal asparagus, new potatoes & corn on the cob - that's proper outdoor cooking...and next time you come we're kind of hoping for an invite to your tent! Thanks so much for the fantastic 10 out of 10 rating and the great review - we really hope to see you here again soon!

Líbí se: Flat, well at up facilities and clean

Nelíbí se: Can't have your car next to the tent, guess that's why they call it wild camping! Lousy Internet data signal makes working out your logistics for the next day difficult.

Od správce: Thanks for your nice review; we do state on the website that we try to keep cars in their own area so the whole campsite doesn't just become one big car park - not to mention we want children to run and play and campers to be able to walk safely without fear of being run over by off roading cars. You're quite right that our signal is pretty rubbish in large areas of the campsite but really quite good in some other places - about 25% of the area is generally fairly reasonable. Members of the team are always happy to suggest the best areas but it does rather depend on which provider you're with. The advantages are of course that you can go for a bit of a digital detox while you're here!
