Liked: Second time here in 6 weeks & had another great stay. Burgers, fries & Pizzas hut open this time, very tasty. The Charlie Bassett team are friendly & work so hard. An impressive show of traction engines were in the car park, ponies & trap too. It’s a lovely sight to see. Great views, lovely walks off site. Clean facilities, level pitches. A great find, even if I came here on my own I would still have a great time. A lot of improvement is taking place.

Liked: We have just arrived back from an enjoyable 3 night stay. Great location for local attractions (Alton Towers/ Monkey Forest etc). Toilets are lovely and clean, could do with more mens, but we did notice the additional unisex toilet by the pub entrance on the last day. Washing up water nice and hot. Views from the beer garden are beautiful and a good beer selection in the pub.
Disliked: The pitches aren't level as the site is on a gentle slope. Not overly an issue for us, but I would recommend taking levelling blocks if you have them.

From the manager: Hi Dawn
Thanks for the great review much appreciated + Glad you enjoyed your stay with us ,
Just to Clarify all the Gravel Pitch's are perfectly Level x9 of them
Gras Pitch's are slightly unlevel but this is one of our ongoing objectives to sort as time goes on .
and yes there are additional Toilets and showers at the TOP OF THE SITE BY THE PUB .

Liked: Although alittle off the beaten track, thie location is in beautiful countryside with spacious pitches.The facilities, toilets and showers ,looked brand new and very clean. On arrival the staff were friendly and welcoming.
The site is adjacent to the pub with large garden and play area so family friendly..and safe. We ate in the pub and had the biggest home made pies ever! Delicious and good value for money.
Shame we could only stay one night, as it's a great place for exploring the ara
