Liked: Lovely setting, quirky features, friendly staff, the atmosphere was great with everyone on the site.
Great food, enjoyed a meal on arrival & a great breakfast.
Good little farm shop on site.
Disliked: Only 2 toilets open, the rest were padlocked as it was end of season & they were full, one of the toilets had no door & the other didn’t have toilet paper & no flush, I don’t mind festival toilets but if they’re available please keep them serviced.

Liked: Liked that it had its own shop, food stand and bar. Plenty of outdoor and indoor space for people to sit and chill. Grounds kept beautifully and great to watch the canal boats. Also have live music on. The pigs were very cute! Also it’s adults only.
Disliked: Toilets, they were portaloos and were in quite a bit of an unclean state while we were there. Could do with a dedicated toilet/shower block. No wifi.

Liked: Wonderful site, the pictures don’t do it justice. Highly recommend for campers, vans & boaters alike.
Super friendly owners and staff and very cute pigs to give an ear scratch to.
Breakfast offer very good and lovely shop with good offerings.
Had a wonderful time, thanks so much all at the Pig Place, perhaps we’ll try to book a mooring next time and make it along from the staffs and Worcs.
Disliked: Nothing at all.

Liked: Fantastically quirky, very welcoming site where you can get an amazing breakfast every day of the week at the Trough and a drink or three at Trotters bar. Enjoyed the challenge of levelling the van in the ridge and furrow field but decided on ridge over furrow after losing the feet off the rear steadies trying to reverse into a dip - oops! Great location for canal watching/walking and getting away from it all with a bit of live music thrown in for good measure. Would definitely recommend.
Disliked: Not so keen on the constant motorway noise but it didn't stop us getting a good night's sleep. Bit pricey for a site with only festival style toilets and no showers etc

Liked: Loved the atmosphere here. Little farm shop, great cafe for a coffee and breakfast, mushrooms were magic. Bar on site. Staff staff super friendly and couldn’t do enough fit you. The pigs was great to watch digging up the ground. The kettle by the sinks was a great thing as no hot water but it added to the quirky site. Loads of entertainment with a quiz and local bands playing. Would go back
Disliked: The porta loos even though they were clean and well stocked with loo roll they were a bit smelly come Sunday and in need of emptying as was getting full and some didn’t flush.

Lovely site by canal
Disliked: Toilets - site was busy & they were quickly full & smelt. We have our own so not bad for us, but for people in tents it must have been pretty awful. No facility to enable people to even wash.
I wouldn't recommend to anyone without their own sanitation.
