From the manager: Good Afternoon
Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with some areas on your visit.
As you can see from other reviews based on our toilet and shower facilities, there are indeed a new block of showers, with toilets in, at the top of the show ground. The older blocks are due to be renovated in the near future, I'm sure you can appreciate that with being a charity, not everything can be funded at the same time.
We hope to see you again soon
Many Thanks

Electric grass pitch
Liked: Liked the site & location
Disliked: There were several hard standing pitches still,and grass with hook up available available, but pitchup stated when booking, only one grass pitch with electric
Hook up available
I thought this to be very poor of pitchup
As we would have preferred the hardstanding, and you probably cost the showground a lot of revenue
Quite often when looking to book with yourselves it always states low availability But now I don't think that is too be true
What is causing the misinformation????
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks for your feedback - We do not over book the pitches as we only have limited facilities, this is not a fault of pitch up, but just how we manage the site with the facilities available to our guests, also often people on arrival change their preference of where they want to be (as we are such a big site) , if you were to return we suggest you ask the steward as to your preference, we are freindly bunch, hope that clarifies.
Great site with even better location, will definitely be back
