Thank you so much Grant. We will look forward to seeing you again here soon.
Nice
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Camping Pitches (Dog Friendly) Oct 2023 Nice site. Good pub on site, along with visiting caterers. Very quiet, and easy going.
Allocated pitch which in this case I was not happy with. Seemed they were reluctant to to change our pitch if required, not sure why as there was space available!

Thank you for your review, Christopher. I am sorry you are so upset about allocated pitches. You chose a certain type of pitch. There are only 13 non electric pitches in Damson, and you came at the weekend where we are very busy.
We allocate on morning of arrival and if customers request a certain pitch we try our best to offer them the pitch they want. However, you did not. If you want to move pitch when you are here and there are pitches of the same type available, then we will always try to help. Many thanks.
An autumnal experience Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches (Gravel) Oct 2023 The park was quite difficult to find initially. However, proved to be quite central for visiting.
At the moment, I need disabled facilities and had checked that disabled facilities were on offer. This turned out to be minimal. With the exception of one path, they were all stone chips which neither my walker or buggy could go on. This meant we had to drive to the shower block, which I would not class as a disabled unit. I could barely get my buggy in, there was no rail from the toilet to the shower which made things awkward. There was no shower curtain so the shower splashed my carer. The second unit was even worse as it had a cupboard which had to be negotiated to get to the shower and toilet part from the entrance.
The bar was surrounded by chips, as was the entrance to the shop prohibiting me to visit either. There were shower and toilet facilities next to reception but unfortunately, no disabled. They were all up steps. My husband informed me that these were lively and quite new. Perhaps more thought could have been given to there siting and inclusivity. Anyone visiting the bar had to go half the length of the park to find a toilet which they could use. The park was a nice tranquil setting.
My husband thought it was lovely but he is able bodied. We were unable to use the walks or pitch and put due to my disability and ground covering

Thank you for the review. We are glad your husband had a nice stay and we are sorry that you had difficulty with the nature of the park with your access issues. However we hope you enjoyed your stay apart from this.
We are a very natural park with areas of gravel rather than tarmac pathways. We are a eco park so have to be very careful of the impact we have on the land. We do try to make this clear on our access statement and park description. I am sorry if the shingle was not easy for you. We do use the sea washed small shingle to make it easier but obviously this did not help you.
The 2 wet rooms we have at the main shower block our access wet rooms rather than proper disabled access. These are historic when we bought the park and we are working on them to make them as easy as possible for customers to use and we will continue again this winter to work on them. These cant be replaced without removing the whole block. I hope if you come again you will see the changes.
We fitted the new shower block at the reception side and Monty's bar 2 years ago. This is obviously additional to the main block. We did consider carefully access to this. Unfortunately, there is no way to get a ramp to it. It is 2 steps and a door lip. We have put a shower seat and fold down arms in the first wet room for customers but this is the limit of what we are able to provide.
We do find most customers do have their own facilities in their own motorhome and caravans so our facilities are additional to this.
I hope you enjoyed the other aspects of our park and that you will visit us again.
Best regards, Martin.
