Facilities
Pros:
"The washing up station was really good touch."
"The cave bar is brilliant, with everything you can imagine on offer."
"The shower block was small with only two toilets and a single shower in the women’s and the same in the men’s, but they were clean and with good water pressure and hot water."
"The Cave Bar had a great atmosphere and provided opportunities to meet other campers and share our toasted marsh mallows."
"Fire pit hire and use of bbqs all over was a real bonus and the fire pits were excellent."
"The showers and toilets were cleaned several times throughout the day and were always clean and fresh."
"The shower and toilet block was good and clean."
Cons:
"Toilet block small and quick to get dirty from muddy footprints."
"The shower and toilets were dirty and poorly stocked, toilet seats were hanging off."
"The showers just wouldn’t get warm which is a shame, and the washing up station didn’t have warm water."
"The facilities were awful. The first day there was no hot water."
"The shower and toilet facilities need a desperate upgrade though! Quite a few pitches and only 2 ladies toilets and 2 mens."
"The toilet and shower block really let it down."
"The only downfall was the toilets. There was no soap to wash hands and the toilets and bins were never cleaned or emptied while we were there."
Staff and Service
Pros:
"The staff are really nice and very helpful."
"Thankyou to mark and the other man (i didn't catch his name) who greeted us Friday night as they were very helpful."
"Owners & workers very helpful and lovely people all and all a beautiful place to come."
"All of the staff are very friendly and welcoming and there is always someone about if you need help with anything."
"The staff are amazing, they cannot do enough for you, especially Dave, what an absolute star!"
"The staff we saw were amazing (especially Rob who helped kids with their fishing rods!)."
"The staff were amazing. Really welcoming and made sure everyone had a great time."
Cons:
"When we arrived, we were told that our booking had been cancelled at 20:00 the previous evening due to a wedding."
"The staff on arrival had no idea we were coming and had no idea where they were going yo pitch us."
"Owners dog roaming around stealing food and growling at my kids, really did not like that."
"We did ask about it but they said there was no cleaner."
"Not enough staff on site when needed. Bar rarely opens."
"The owners are not nice people. The woman looks down at everybody, as does another guy (looks like Boris Johnson, thinks he owns the place, probably does)."
"The management was very poor. We were directed to a pitch but the following morning the manager asked why we had pitched our tent there."
Location and Environment
Pros:
"Location is amazing."
"A beautiful site, and the staff were so helpful and accommodating when we had a little issue with our first allocated pitch."
"The camp site was lovely, beautiful spot with the river running through and mature trees."
"Beautiful peaceful site, perfect location straight off the motorway and easy to find."
"The site is set within lovely grounds which enables young children to explore and be at one with nature."
"Beautiful camping spot with a shallow river running through it which was great for the children to play in."
"The site is really beautiful, edged by a sandstone wall with a stream through the middle and lots of trees."
Cons:
"If your a light sleeper then it’s not one for you as it’s right on the motorway. You hear it all going by …"
"It was very noisy - music wasn’t turned down at the bar until well after 11 and there were large groups partying until after 1.30."
"Large camping group 20m away partying until 2am with shouting and music. Noise curfew wasn't upheld."
"Quite noisy at night, a few groups up late with one large group shouting and swearing until we'll after midnight (one night until after 1am) and turning their music up and down."
"Bare in mind, site is too close to the major road and as a result too much noise from traffic."
"Our trip was slightly ruined by a large group who didn’t respect the quiet times and we’re still shouting playing music into the early hours with no acknowledgement from staff… shame as a lovely family friendly site."
"Very near the dual carriage too much road noise."
Value for Money
Pros:
"The pitch prices are absolutely fantastic."
"We enjoyed Everything nothing to not like. Place is really nice hosts are very welcoming."
"The views and little play area for children."
"The kids loved the rope swing and zip line over the river and the stepping stones."
"The beautiful grounds takes your breath away, the lovely stream that runs through it was fantastic for my son of 5."
"Campsite manager does not stop working is really friendly and accommodating."
"Toilets always clean with plenty of paper and super friendly staff."
Cons:
"The taste of the pizzas was great but the price for the size wasn’t great and wouldn’t say it was a 9'', maybe 7'' at best."
"It was very noisy - music wasn’t turned down at the bar until well after 11 and there were large groups partying until after 1.30."
"We also had a few issues when arriving, we had put our tent size in like they asked and paid the price it was telling us, when we got there they asked for the tent size again and then said we needed to pay 45 per tent."
"The wood is quite expensive for how quick it burnt. It was not wood logs so we spent a lot of money for very little fire time."
"Ridiculous prices, far too expensive for what you offer."
"Was advised that we would have to pay a £10 fee."
"Electric hook up was shared to so many tents it kept tripping no-one had electric."
