Powered grass campervan site
Liked: Ok campsite showers and toilets clean maybe a problem if campsite full as limited 2 toilets and showers
Disliked: Grass was far too long with dogs they would get soaked just walking them especially with the rain we had plus no Wi-Fi which would have helped
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your comments. We are sorry that you didn't enjoy your stay with us and that the dogs were soaked due to the wet weather and slightly longer grass. As the weather has been against us and we have a great deal of rain. The grass has not been cut as often. One of the reasons for this is that vehicles travelling over the grass are able to get more traction when the grass is a bit longer. This helps with towing as well. In addition when the grass is wet we avoid cutting as it can leave cut grass lying on the ground which can then be tracked into the tents, caravan etc. Our details do state that we do not have wifi on site. many of our guests have their own wifi/wifi units that they bring with them. We are glad you found the shower/toilet facilities clean but you must have missed the additional toilets. There are 2 single toilets within the shower block plus another 2 toilets within the large family shower rooms Plus 2 additional toilets on the outside of the shower block incorporating 1 ladies, 1 mens plus an additional separate mens urinal.

Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: What a shame you feel this way! It recent times as we all know overheads have increased. We look to offer a price that includes your electric and shower facilities so no extra payment to be made. Your ratings are in opposition to the very many positive ones we have received including the Cleanliness of our facilities. We will not be including wifi as we have found that it is a way to encourage our younger visitors to lay down their electronics and get out and play and interact with others improving their social skills and their communication with others. Many of these youngsters have been upset to leave us. Sorry we were not the place for you. Let's hope you find future sites that are more in line with your needs. Happy Camping

Disliked: Wi-Fi would of been really good
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you so much for your kind review. So pleased that you enjoyed the space around you on your pitch and enjoyed your visit with us. We have found that not having wifi is a way to encourage our younger visitors to get out and play. Many of our visitors have their own mobile wifi. In addition the feedback from parents has been that although sceptical at first at not having wifi for the children/family it has actually been positive with the children laying down their tablets etc and just playing.
