Liked: Everything, Jane was really good on our arrival (i did forget her name so we had to nickname her blakey - as from on the buses because she always had a clipboard in her hand) Sorry jane.
big pitches with power and water close by. Had a nice walk to Ely - pavement all the way took about an hour and a half as there are no buses on sundays. Bar on site is well run and well worth a visit. Didn't have any food as it was still being set up.
Probably one of the best sites we've stayed on in England and will definitely return.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your review - yes Blakey (Jayne) is a big bonus to our site... We did pass you walking to Ely that is a hike Glad you enjoyed Sal and Trev

From the manager: Considering you arrived late in the evening on the Saturday for your one night stay - our warden did have to go out that evening but did see you on arrival. Are you seriously saying our site was muddy - well yes indeed it was as we had 2 inches of rain in the weeks before - and October in the UK is often wet and muddy. If we had the power to control the weather it would make for a perfect camp site. As for the cleanliness of our facilities - you stated a 2 star, I can say that is an out and out lie. We work daily on our facilities and many people come back due to the cleanliness and presentation of our facilities. There may have been a little bit of grass walked into the facilities due to weather but the actual showers and toilets were spotless. You did state that the site was quiet - it was always going to be considering it was our last week of opening and our low season - The Humble Pig pub was open that evening and we did have people in for drinks and a chat. You would have been more than welcome but obviously chose to stay on your own in the quiet of your motorhome.
Campsite with good showers. Boggy ground when it's wet

Liked: Quiet area. The lovely woman who initially was checking us in and also helped us with finding a shop. Clean, hot and large showers.
Disliked: The rude man that came over and interrupted the woman to tell us off for not adding that we were in a 6.6m bus to the booking (I did put the size on and he later admitted no one had even read the booking yet). We felt like we weren't wanted there and for £54 we'd rather have gone somewhere else but when my partner offered that the man quickly changed his tune and found us a spot.... He was apparently worried about his grass and shoved us in a bit of a weird place. When we woke on Saturday we found out why... the whole place was a bog! Luckily it dried out over Saturday afternoon and we were able to get out without getting stuck. Honestly not sure why he started off with a funny attitude? There are plenty of ways to have a conversation without being rude and it left us with a bad taste but we were very tired from travelling all week and just wanted a place to charge the van batteries and get some rest.
Also lots of the reviews mentioned a food truck and signs outside said food from 1pm but when I asked they said they don't have the food outside of high season. That makes sense of course but just something to keep in mind in the quieter season.
A site map via email would've been handy.
