The Pig Place

Polubione: We loved the location, right next to the canal and the beautiful pigs. The bar, shop and cafe were exceptional. It also welcomes motorcycles, which is always a bonus for two-wheeled travellers.

Polubione: Absolutely stunning site. Great farm shop, outside catering and outside bar situated next to the canal with outside seating and fire pits. Beautifully kept and fantastic staff. This was our 3rd year here and will be booking again for next year.

Niepolubione: Nothing

Polubione: The canal!

Niepolubione: Unfortunately this was the most over priced, horrible campsite I've visited. Squashed in to a small, lop-sided field alongside some poor pigs (who the owner proudly informed me, ended up in the shop fridge...). Although we had paid over the odds for this site we were told there was no showers, only one tap, a couple of porter cabins and no electric sockets, because they were all used up! We left before we got trapped, loosing our payment but feeling free from the possibility of ending up like just another pig in a pen...!!

Od administratora: Thank you for taking the time to write a review regarding your very brief visit to our campsite. Upon receipt of your review I carried out an investigation into your experience and was told that the main problem upon your arrival was the discovery that there were no showers on site which greatly upset a member of your party. The fact that we do not have showers on site is clearly shown in the description of the site on PitchUp and mentioned several times in the reviews, our listing also states that we are not on mains water but have a borehole for drinking water and seven portable toilets. I particularly object to the "some poor pigs" comment when we clearly state that we are a working smallholding and our pigs are kept in the highest welfare standards. There was an electric hook up available for you, so stating there was not is complete fabrication. I believe that your disparaging review is a result of being told that a refund would not be issued for your stay over a bank holiday weekend just because you have not read the site description in full.

Polubione: Quirky with seating set-up outside. Catering van ok, new staff.

Niepolubione: Grass pitch a struggle with recent rain. Facilities basic.

Polubione: Friendly owners, good size pitches

Niepolubione: Constant road noise. Website says campfires allowed however barely allowed us to have a BBQ by our pitch. Camping without a fire is not camping. Bar and shop overpriced. Original booking got cancelled and got moved, wanted to add another day got charged double

Polubione: The pigs Inside Hut area Canalside

Niepolubione: Despite the canalside location, it’s far from tranquility as the opposite side is a busy main road which is extremely noisy. Right from the off we were greeted with hostility by the owner. There was no BBQ set up which was expected to cook on, we decided to improvise and use a grate on top of the fire. We were told off for this. I asked the owner if he was okay and much to my surprise he replied with ‘I will be when everyone’s gone’. The grass pitches are very uneven. The farm shop is sparse and prices are extortionate. We were told not to move furniture around, even though we had no intention to. The owners need a crash course in hospitality as we were made to feel everything but welcome. So much so, one of our group decided to go home a day earlier, they were offered a credit note but then didn’t receive their full credit note amount. I would not recommend staying here to anyone.
