Liked: Lovely place to stay. Lovely pub and park area for kids. Staff all friendly and helpful. Outside pizza hut serving food till 9pm
Disliked: Bottom field ground a little soft but expected with the weather not really ideal for caravans or folding campers and make sure you select electricity with pitch up in optional extras!

Liked: Lovely site, great views and pitches were generous so no feeling squished. The pub had a great atmosphere and lots of entertainment over the weekend. Staff and owner are so friendly and welcoming. Easy access from the M6 but feels like a very rural location although there are lots of amenities nearby. Lots of walks out from the campsite too. Some of our friends enjoyed it so much they booked to stay an extra night!

Liked: A beautiful little spot with picturesque views over the valley and wildlife. Clean and well maintained spacious pitches and lovely relaxed atmosphere. The pub was lively with a great choice of beers and the live music was excellent quality and an added bonus. We used it as a stop off on the way back to Oxfordshire from the Lake District and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again
Disliked: Not a dislike but just be careful entering the site from the road if you have a long caravan as ours scraped the ground at the back so take it slow

Liked: Clean, tidy and child friendly. Hard standing pitches are good but grassed pitches were water logged.
Disliked: No hot water. Children not allowed in pub after 20:00. Food and drink prices quite high. Only one shower and two toilets.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hi Anonymous , Thank you for the Liked Points apart from water on Some of the Grass Pitch's Unfortunately we have had a lot of Rain and this was out of our control ?? Ref the Disliked Points , - Most Alcohol establishments have to set this policy of no Under age Children after 8pm ? - Prices are average for our Area, - We had No other Complaints about Hot water but a Hot tap had been Left running on x1 Day ! so presume it would be the Cause , - There are x1 Shower Room + x5 Toilets available ? We are also in the middle of Building a new Shower/Toilet Block additional to the one we have . Hope to see you again when we can get a better Score Like our average of 9.5 Best Regards Team Charlies
