Chose this site as we wanted to be close to Alton Towers and for that it ticked the box. Location - beautiful - really quiet, our idea of heaven. Yes you could hear a hum from the quarry, but it really wasn't that loud and didn't bother us. Depends on the level of noise you're used to at night I guess.
The entrance has been mentioned, yeah a little tight (I wouldn't like it if I'd been towing), but my partner got our 26 foot twin axle through no problem - he's more experienced than me!
Having waste and water on pitch - fantastic, thought we'd struck gold - 2 less containers to deal with.
Unfortunately, the shower/toilets let all this positivity down for us.
No loo roll provided. We use our own toilet facilities, but even so, if you did want to use them, you don't want to have to take your own up there! Attempted to shower - what a joke, no hot water. Mentioned it to the owner's daughter, who was going to tell dad, 2 days later - still freezing cold with not a hint of hot. Hand basin - no water at the hot tap full stop! The shower/toilet/basin is a wet room, hardly ideal, separate facilities would be better. Also, no hand towel or method of drying hands (hand dryer, paper towels, nothing).
Can't comment on the welcome - didn't see the owners the whole stay. Only saw the daughter as we went to the house to pay the day after arriving!
To be honest, we were really disappointed. Our minimum requirements are toilets (5 of us, you can guarantee the kids need the toilet when someone else is in ours), shower block and electric. 1 out of 3 isn't good enough for us, so unfortunately, despite the lovely location, we won't be going back. Just not for us.
