喜欢: water side pitch held promise of a good setting

不喜欢: 24hr construction site near site (motorway), mainline railway line within 500m of pitch express non stop trains every hour throughout night, on approach flight path for East Midlands airport. You could not have any more noise issues. I had a sleepless night. facilities non existent I was told there was a tap.
The approach to the site is along a pot holed track to a lorry park.

喜欢: Wonderful and very helpful welcome by site staff.
Proximity to railway station to the NEC, trains every 30min and less than 15min journey.
Nice village nearby with two good pubs.
Good Cafe onsite serving breakfasts until 13.00hrs
Peaceful and tranquil setting near the fishing lakes
Opportunity to fish for the day

不喜欢: Entrance track to the site filled with un-avoidable potholes.
The stoned up pitches, six in total were cut into a slightly raised bankside, could have been levelled out a bit more and made wide enough to comfortably walk alongside the Mo-Ho.

喜欢: We knew we'd arrive late so called in advance and were quickly given the appropriate number for the staff who'd be on site that evening.
We travelled in our micro camper and found that the lane into the site was fine to use despite heavy rain and arriving in the dark. There were potholes, but consider the use of the site and the weather. Damage over time is inevitable and the lane was not water-logged or impassable in any sense. There was no risk at all that we would not reach the site or that we'd damage our vehicle. Maybe I'm just used to it as a Yorkshire lass, but our neighbours in much larger vehicles seemed happy enough, too.
The staff could not have been more helpful before and after we arrived. Debbie arranged for us to park in a nearby well-lit pitch as it was late.
The pitch was large and the site is peaceful - we are tiny but the pitches easily accommodate RVs.
We could not pitch our awning as the non-hardstanding part to the side was brambles rather than grass and may have torn the groundsheet. We didn't need the awning so we didn't ask to move, but I have no doubt that staff would have provided us support the next morning had it been necessary.
Swiftly prepared, tasty and affordable food available at the clean, warm cafe. There are toilets in the cafe which are accessible during 'office hours'.
Well-stocked tackle shop with good signage to indicate where to get your fishing papers.
As you'll see in the details, there are no shower/toilet blocks, but it's easy to wash etc and dispose of waste water not far from the camper standing.
Debbie went to the trouble to get her wellies and high beam headtorch on to help us navigate the dark when we arrived and show us clearly before we settled for the night.

We'd definitely return, in fact we plan to later this year.

不喜欢: Nearby construction of HS2. This didn't interfere with our enjoyment of the site, but lights can be seen on the cranes being used and works may be off-putting to others.

来自经理: Thank you very much, we appreciate your honest review!

喜欢: Sehr freundliche Platzbetreiber.
Trotz Bahnlinie auf der einen Seite und einer Großbaustelle (tagsüber) auf der anderen Seite als einfacher Übernachtungsplatz ok. Wir haben einen Platz in der Nähe des NEC zum Besuch von Crufts gebraucht, dafür ok.
Zufahrt ziemlich holperig, direkt hinter der Brücke, vor der Werkstatt rechts in den Feldweg einbiegen.

来自经理: Thank you for your review!

喜欢: Nothing

不喜欢: Couldn’t drive to the site due to excessively poor road with mud and potholes. Turned around half way. The approach is a combination of a scrapyard and bomb site.

来自经理: We have a 500m track to the entrance of the complex, which in the winter when it rains a lot the water does build but it is easily passable, for instance for the time you were booked on in February, the rest of the complex was fully booked and we had no other issues with anyone else. Unfortuntely we can't stop the rain, that's one thing out of our control. All the best.
