Liked: Super friendly owners, lovely on arrival and if you needed anything they definitely would have helped in anyone they could.
Disliked: Not enough facilities for the amount of people, needed double the amount of everything -especially pot washing up area.

From the manager: Hi Carolyn, Thankyou for your kind feedback! Your absolutely right about the washing up facilities, we are currently organising more of these to be installed this week. Hopefully we see you again 😊 Newlands Valley Campsite

From the manager: Hi, Thankyou for taking the time to give us a review. We have a strict no music after 10pm rule which we do go round and enforce. However there was an incident with one family who seemed to not want to follow that rule but we did deal with them and they were asked to leave the following morning. Its not often we have any issues but unfortunately a very small monority do spoil it for others. Which is a shame. We apologise and really hope you visit us again sometime. Thanks Newlands Valley Campsite

Liked: The chilled out owner and they had fire pits. We didn’t use them but would return to use them next time. It had clear signposts and was easy to find. It was spacious and flat with lovely trees for the birds to sing in. The sound of the river near by was lovely to sleep to!!
Disliked: Only the mud but was just the rainy weather

Really enjoyed our stay, right next to the river was beautiful.

Liked: The field, views, service, fire pits and general welcoming, friendly feel. Dogs were able to wander and explore freely.
Disliked: The toilets are a bit tight in space to get in and out, conscious we may not return until next year after pregnancy or ill never get around the doors!
