• "I was very disappointed with the food in the pub but in true British fashion didn't say anything but as my plate was collected fairly untouched they must have realised, 3 cheap sausages plonked on two Yorkshire puddings and dowsed in cheap packet gravy does not constitute 'toad in the hole' in my book."

• "Mashed potato was inedible vegetables cooked to mush, and the beef was dry."

Cons:

• "Not worth the £32 a night!"

• "For families who are experiencing financial pressure, paying an additional £25 for a fire for one night seems a little excessive."
• "Cost, really don't know why a lot more than other places given the standard of facilities which were good but not exceptional enough to make the cost higher than standard."
• "No showers as covid restriction and only 1 toilet waste disposal."
• "The pitches were amazingly spacious but if you're looking for a flat pitch you won't find it here very uneven ground hard to pitch awnings on."

• "Beautiful countryside park."
• "The scenery was gorgeous, location was great."
• "This site was easy to find and the views are spectacular."

Cons:

• "Some loud guests up till 2 am, long walk to the bins and waste disposal from our pitch."
• "Other campers partied till 5am, communal shower cubicles with high step to get in and out not mobility friendly."
• "Unfortunately not the site's fault lots of the local minor roads linking the site were having road repairs."
• "Unfortunately the openings to the cubicles are very narrow and the shower tray is quite high which questions the suitability for the larger person or one with mobility problems."
• "Electric got turned off for 3 hours so pub could cook Sunday dinners, no visual presence from campsite staff."
• "The 'pub' is only open for a few hours a day even though that is the main thing mentioned when being advertised."
• "It was like driving through a scrap metal merchants at the side of the pub to get through the gate."
