Liked: The site is beautifully planted with trees and shrubs and is spacious. There are seats and picnic areas dotted around along with BBQs for visitor use. There are some lovely walks along the canal tow path.
Disliked: You should always take note of reviews. This site is very noisy due to a railway line and busy road right along the boundary. If you like to be out and about every day you'll find lots to do in the area. If you like to sit by your camper and enjoy some peace and quiet this site is not for you.

Liked: Location was good, close access to pub, toilets and showers clean and very warm showers.
Disliked: Very bad communication from site warden, we arrived after 5pm whdn the waarden had finished work, although I called him before 5 he didn't brief me on the WiFi code, explain that we need a key to access the pub through a locked gate, I had to climb over a dangerous gate to get out to walk to the pub as we were literallylocked in, I called the number he didn't answer I left a message but no return call.

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.

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.

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.
