Reviews
They were happy to make up a portacot with lovely blankets. The wonderful lady on the desk called me a very very early cab.
She also walked my baby to the cabin whilst I took the luggage cause I was travelling with a 10 week old solo. Plus luggage!
Walking distance to an amazing pub and petrol station, if you can stay here, definitely do.
I didn't take the other kids, but I seen a bouncy pillow and playground they'd love! Defo a great place to stay between flights!
It might get a bit loud from the road and planes. I loved the spacious TV room with cosy sofas. Got to have it all to myself for a few hours and enjoyed watching a movie.
Kitchen and bathroom are clean and functional.
Staff is lovely.
Don't get me wrong, this campsite is cheap, clean, has everything you need - but at least at this time of the year there is no holiday feeling - still great value in my opinion.
Outside office hours key access was easy and straight forward.
However I was disappointed to see that I was only able to access the disabled shower during office hours and outside of these times it was locked.
Only being allowed to be disabled during office hours completely ludicrous at best.
We arrived after the office closed and left before it opened so couldn’t even talk to someone about this.
I am a lower leg amputee so using a regular shower simply is not an option.
Hence I had to leave without having been able to have a shower.
I have never encountered this issue at any other camp site I have stayed at.
