The Kip fully-serviced hardstanding motorhome pitch (hot tub)
Liked: There's nothing that hasn't been thought off. Top quality facilities. Staff were all absolutely fantastic. We spent time in the breathing room. This was a nice touch to our stay.
In the main building (bar/restaurant) there is a pool table, darts, ping pong table and arcade machine all free to use.
The breakfast had a lots of options.
The pizzas 🍕 were also good.
Disliked: That we only had 2 nights booked.

Probably one of the best places in the UK to stop at with a motorhome.

Fully-serviced hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked: Very new and modern facility. Clean a d modern toilet and shower block. Washing up facilities with very hot water(: great for sanitary cleaning of dishes and also for filling up a hot water bottle.
Disliked: The wringing out mechanism on the mob and bucket in the shower block was broken making mopping up after a shower a chore. Shower drain not effective so some water went on floor in shower room.

The Tiny fully-serviced hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked: Impressive entrance and initial wow factor of the Workshop bar area.
Fab pizzas from the bar in the evening.
Pleasant bar staff and reasonable bar prices.
Disliked: Not a pleasant camping experience. Evidently campers are the 'poor relations' compared to those staying in the 'luxury cabins'.
Bleak pitches, away from all the lovely landscaping of the cabins. Just fencing and grey gravel to look out at. Facilities v inadequate. Just 2 toilets, and 2 showers, newly fitted out contemporary styling but cheap finish, with wood panels missing and one shower o.o.o.already. And the smell!!! Dreadful stale water smell permeating throughout the block, probably caused by the woeful drainage system in the shower. V poor design. Floors flood on first use, so poor for those following to use. No mop or means to tidy up a little for the next users.
Washing up sink right beside the septic tank by the smell of it. Unbearable for me. Made my stomach heave. Couldn't wait to leave. Sorry Kip & Nook, but it seems a lot of style over substance.

The Tiny fully-serviced hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked: The washroom facilities were really good.....with a double shower (which was a first for us). We spotted hot-tubs and even a sauna on site, which was also a novelty. The barn had a great-looking bar with cool seating areas.....dotted with vintage cars, which was really fun. We didn't eat there, but I understand there are things like pizzas and breakfast available (to pre-order).
Disliked: There was nothing we really disliked hugely - except that our Campervans pitch was next to a ditch which smelt very strongly of sewage. Once we closed our doors this wasn't a problem though, but with the dogs open, the smell was very 'present'.
