Large Tent - Non Electric Woodland PitchesSep 2023

We stayed in a woodland pitch which was beautiful and peaceful. We had a nice secluded spot, the dog loved the shade of the trees and the children enjoyed exploring and riding their bikes around the little tracks. There is a nice play area for the kids and an outdoor pool which you could book a private slot for. Perfect for a splash around and great that it wasn't overcrowded. The owner also let us use it outside of our booked slot because it was quiet, so always worth popping into the shop to ask. Our pitch was further from the facilities, the meadow pitches are closer but busier, so it depends on what you prefer. Nice hot showers, clean toilets and a family bathroom, which is really handy with kids. There wasn't much traffic moving around, so it felt safe letting the kids roam free. There's a lovely little woodland walk which is perfect for the dog. It had a great feel on site and people respected the quiet after 22:30. There were no electric points in public areas, so take a power bank if you need to charge phones etc. The only downside was that the compost toilet in the woods was a bit smelly, we did visit on a particularly hot weekend though and it didn't bother us, but may be a problem for some? Overall, it was a really enjoyable stay and we would definitely return 😊

Too noisy for me

VW-Type Campervan - Optional Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023

Nice secure little site in a wonderful location, but no point in having a quiet policy after 10:30pm and before 7:30am if it don't exist. We were kept awake by a very loud party on the Friday night until 1am on the Saturday night. Showers took too long to get hot and kept going cold when they did eventually warm up. Recycling area was very messy and smelly. Very sorry, but won't be returning, not for me.

Medium Tent - Optional Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023

We enjoyed a lovely stay on this woodland site. Family-run, friendly and accommodating. We loved the swimming pool and had lots of fun in the park. The woods offered great shade during the heatwave. Location couldn’t have been better for visiting beaches, River Cottage and National Trust properties. Ideal stay. Campfires are a must!
