The Racecourse Retreat

Me gustó: Excellent communication and very well organised and friendly on arrival. Well signposted on the approach roads. Spacious pitch and lots of room available, even though it was on the August Bank Holiday. Toilets were clean, with hot water at wash basins with good lighting. Didn't try the showers but they looked popular. There was a food van and entertainment on but we didn't partake and therefore can't comment, but great to have the options. Views were exceptional, when no clouds. No WiFi, but very good 4G for those that might want/need it.

No me gustó: The approach roads were very narrow with limited passing places, especially from the south side. Definitely would be stressful with a larger vehicle and/or towing a caravan. There were often queues at the washing up stations and at the limited number of toilets and on our second day some had ran out of toilet paper.

Me gustó: Great site, loads of tents but still plenty of room to not be too close to other campers. Loads of room for ball games, football ect. too. Great reception area and friendly staff. Bar and food area with benches both inside and out. Toilets and showers very clean despite a lot of use. The views are fantastic from the pitch up area. Fire pits available with bricks to raise them off the ground. Only booked 1 night for me and my son but will definitely book a couple more next summer 👍🏼

No me gustó: Nothing.

Me gustó: The staff are so lovely and helpful, they also went out of their way to make everyone’s stay amazing.
The toilets and showers are nice and kept clean.

No me gustó: Could do with a few more toilets but we were there over a busy bank holiday weekend.

Me gustó: I liked the location of the site it made visiting local sights assessable. It is a spacious site and the owners make you feel welcome. they provide entertainment such as move night for kids and adults. They provided a live band in one of the barns on site. Cleaning facilities are ok but very basic. A good toilet and shower block but again very basic. I believe the camp site is a new site possibly 3 years old?

No me gustó: The wind was terrible due to the nature of how high we were and how exposed the site is. The road accessing the site can be a single track road in areas and can be tricky. The electric hock up Kept tripping out but was never off for long.

Me gustó: Staff, the amount of space, the shed with bar and music, the incredible view.

No me gustó: The amount of toilets and showers. The ones they have are lovely, but the need double the amount - a toilet and shower block for each field is desperately needed.

Me gustó: It’s a beautiful campsite. Lovely views. Very kid friendly.
The pitches are really well set up and level, even though we’re high up on the hill.
The staff are super friendly and helpful.
It felt like a lovely safe place to let my child play with his friends.
The entertainment on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon was thoroughly enjoyed by myself and the kids. 😁🥰

No me gustó: Slightly difficult to find. Could do with your own brown sign indicating your campsite is there.
Not a bad issue managed to find the campsite 🏕️

Me gustó: Spacious pitches allowed for ‘family group camping’, lovely owners working really hard to give us a lovely stay despite having been up at 4am on the Friday morning as the storm trashed the marquee and holiday bar area.
They organised all the entertainments to the barn and were really involved and friendly.
A lovely family run site in gorgeous countryside. (We have already booked for next year)

No me gustó: Tail end of the storm and very windy but that was not the owners fault.
Site is a little exposed though and be warned it is a bit of a climb up the road to the fields if you are ‘less fit’ (I made it down and back to the food vans and entertainment several times though 😉)

Me gustó: Great location with stunning views

No me gustó: The facilities did not meet the need of the amount of people using them.
Last 24 hrs of our stay had no toilet roll or hand towels nor were the facilities cleaned in the same time frame.
Sadly it was so busy which is to be expected for bank holiday the showers and toilets didnt match the number of guests, had to queue almost every time we used them and showers had no pressure and just dribbled at you.

Such a shame as hosts were lovely considering the terrible weather, hope they invest in more facilities or limit the number of guests

Me gustó: Staff lovely. Toilets clean. Fantastic views! Grass well kept n cut. Pitch where you want. Allowed campfires. Would definatly return! Good 2 mile walk to town. Had a drink in pub before we braved it back up the hill. Drinks were reasonable. Take away is brilliant and delivered to the site! Food good and hot!
Bar on site, food vans and there was a quiz nite in but we missed it as we was running late.

No me gustó: Weather was raining but that's not sites fault.
