Accommodating hosts, went above and beyond to assist and support me in my stay. Amazing location, very dog friendly. Only suggestion lots of local walks that tourists may not be aware of.

A nice and quiet site with very friendly and approachable owners. The facilities block is clean, warm and functional but is in need of an upgrade. This was the only reason for not being a 5 star review.
Site's response
Thank you for taking the time to post a review. The shower block was due to be updated in January, however we were let down and only managed to get one done before the season started again, as you said they are all clean and will be completed for the next season. This is just our second season so all work in progress. We hope to welcome you all back. Happy travels - Fiona and Paul.

Booked 2 days and was my 1st time camping for the other half. She was spoilt with good weather and all the luxuries from home, warm welcome on arrival and allocated a big plot. Small shop on site with fresh eggs from chickens which walk round freely. Toilets and showers kept very clean. Very quiet and peaceful site as it is adults only. Fishing lakes and river behind, and an excellent pub next door and the jeep was a bonus. Will definitely be back and recommend to others.

Chaotic and packed in like sardines.
Site's response
Hi Greame, sorry that you feel that your stay was chaotic, if you had mentioned this during your stay we would have tried to make amends, we were not aware that you were not happy. It was a very busy weekend with all pitches taken however there were two groups of 3 campers who wanted to be pitched together so it may have appeared they were very close and not in allocated pitches (this was their choice). This is our first season so it is a learning curve as well as work in progress, we appreciate all feedback. Take care and happy travels. Fiona and Paul.
On the whole a friendly, value for money site

We enjoyed our few days away at Bainside. We had a couple of issues, one, that we were near the toilets and the smell from the drains was quite bad. The other was that I know it is high season, but campervans and tents were squeezed in on any available bit of ground, so it seemed very cramped.
Site's response
We are glad that you enjoyed your stay overall. We are always about on site or just a phone call away if there are any issues, if we had been made aware of the unpleasant smell while you were staying with us we would have been able to sort it out. You did make us aware on your departure and we immediately dealt with the issue. It was a very busy weekend and this is our first season and a learning curve, we had a number of units and tents which requested to be put together therefore however this is what the guests requested. Enjoy your travels, take care Fiona and Paul.
Excellent place to relax and switch off with hosts that are more than happy to assist and make you feel very welcome!

Perfect for a quiet weekend away from the hustle and bustle. The hosts are welcoming and keen to ensure you have everything to enjoy your stay. All facilities are close by and kept clean. Although the site is smaller than others there was plenty of space between pitches, with electric and water access available very close to pitches (right next to most). The pub next to the site is closed on Sundays and the chef was also away on holiday during our stay, meaning they were not serving food but we understand this is the main holiday season and everyone deserves a break. There are plenty more pubs just a short drive away to enjoy.

Lovely site, easy to find. Nice friendly welcome from the owner. We had grass pitch with plenty of room. Nice fishing lake to walk dog around. Small shop with basics, didn't use it. The toilet shower block small but always clean. Pub right next door served good food. # Would visit again

A very pretty campsite with a lovely pub next door. The owners of the campsite went out of their way to help us when the battery died in our car!π Not only did they help fix it but drove us into town too. Can't fault the site, it's a beautiful area and the facilities are clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend it and will definitely go back again. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!!π

Not the sites fault but the pub was closed due to flooding which is about 20m away and has a great reputation. Woodhall Spa is a good hour walk away. The new owners were fantastic and we even got a dozen fresh eggs. Fishing looked great and plans for some additions are ongoing. The hampers from a local producer are planned. Some great walks from the site. A great little spot.

Hiya Scott, it was lovely to meet you both. The pub is now back open and the food is still amazing. We now have our very own chickens and hopefully some eggs soon. We hope to see you again soon. Fiona and Paul π

Stayed at this campsite at the weekend in a small tent and the hosts were extremely helpful and friendly. Excellent toilet and shower facilities and after our air bed popped, they allowed us to borrow theirs for the rest of our stay. Great location for some lovely walks and close to Woodhall Spa for the Kinema in the Woods. Large lake which you can walk around too. We will certainly be returning. Thank you very much! π

We loved our stay in the beautiful Bainside House Park. Very well set out with hard standings, grass and pebbles giving access to lovely clean showers, toilets and washing up stand. Lovely views of the landscaped park and nearby lake (dogs not allowed in that part). Lots of walks within 1 mile and further to Woodhall Spa, which is well worth a visit. Fantastic meals at the next door pub, The Ebrington which we highly recommend but it's not open on Sundays.

Without transport and only a pub in the village, you're a little restricted.
Site's response
There is a connect bus to get you where you want. Maybe we'd advise some research before you arrive, if you don't want to use your own transport.
