Good pitches in a really beautiful setting with loads of additional things to do, like the high-ropes/zip wire. The dogs love the woods, the kids love the playground, the adults did not like the food in the restaurant, though! Over-priced, over-cooked - shame as everything else about the campsite is fantastic. The bar looked like the staff 'pick up' area... More

We camped here for 2 nights in the Easter holidays, the pitch was great, offered alternative pitch next door because our electricity cable was not long enough, Sawmill cafe was excellent, food a bit pricey but drinks cheap. Spent all of next day with our boys exploring the woods and doing all the climbing, swinging, jumping and running activities, more... More

Attended a wedding, food was good but service was slow. Some tables had eaten their main and other tables were just being served. Not enough staff employed.

BUT the accommodation was superb, massive rooms, on suite, very friendly and helpful staff, can't fault. The food also was top class! Not many... More
