Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked: Nice area with friendly locals .
Disliked: People who stayed on site (lookes like on permanent bases)selfishly played very loud music ,looked very strange and we wouldn’t trust to leave our things outside or unlocked. We booked gravel pitch but had to move far from this issue to grass pitch with no electric hook up. Toilets and showers not clean and dated ,also divided by dwarf walls (someone smoked in one of the units and cigarette smoke spread with in all facilities).No good if you stay with small kids.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked: The site is well placed for access to a variety of shops as well as direct access to London via Leighton Buzzard train station. The showers are mixer showers with good pressure and temperature control. Damage caused by a travelling group was quickly cleaned up.
Disliked: Travellers had entered the sote before we arrived (they left during our stay). The main gates have been damaged and require repair so access to the site is not currently controlled.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked: The size of the pitch but nothing else.
Disliked: When we arrived one half of the field was filled with travellers and then everyone else was on the other side. The travellers were trashing the place and made it quite unpleasant to stay there. The showers and toilets were smelly and mould was all over the walls and ceiling in the key access ones which was disappointing as I would expect them to be better managed, I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone as nothing good came out of it really, such a shame.

Liked: Location and Check in Staff.
Disliked: Absolutely awful experience. We was nervous about our location and this proved to be right. Last night we was on site was awful, swearing, music being played loud, kids running around and fighting this went on to 2.30 am. Rubbish left around site. Showers and toilet facilities are not clean and general rubbish store overflow with rubbish which attracts vermin.

Liked: Verharde plaats
Disliked: Ontvangst, norse meneer die geen enkele uitleg gaf. Alleen het pitch nummer. Dus zoek zelf maar uit waar de douches zijn, de chemisch toilet uitstort en nwaar het grijs water gelost kon worden.

Liked: The site is very spacious with a lovely view of the countryside and good access to the canal towpath. The pub next door is excellent. Shower facilities lovely and clean. Good value for money.
Disliked: Nothing really. Some visitors have commented about the railway line and road nearby but honestly speaking it is not intrusive and the easy accessibility and access to the canal more than compensate. We did not really hear either.
