Not sure how this site gets these great reviews!

I hardly ever write reviews as I consider myself an easy-going camper but we booked this site based on the great reviews and were a little surprised by the reality for us. On the positive side, the camping area is very neat & clean. Security is very good. Location for sightseeing is good. The downsides (in order of importance): 1. The farm appears to house a number of dog kennels and the dogs bark on & off all through the night. I know it is a farm but even farm animals sleep. If you are a light sleeper or have a dog who reacts to other dogs barking this would not be a good place to go. 2. On Saturday night the noise from the engines of the planes from Heathrow sounded like they were going to land on top of us. The flight route on the Sunday was different and no noise from the planes at all. (We live on the Luton flightpath so are used to a certain amount of aircraft noise). 3. The electric meter had not been checked & previous campers had left it in debt. We had to pay this. It also swallowed some of our money and we kept adding more. The owner was not there when we arrived (her son just pointed at the pitch) and she seemed to be only contactable by text but the mobile signal was intermittent. She said she would refund the money but never did. 4. The owner is not friendly, the only time we saw her was when she just arrived at our caravan after dark, took the cash and went. I actually began to wonder whether I had given it to an imposter. We had no idea where she lived to contact her in an emergency. 5.Quite a dangerous road for pulling into site (you have to leave car & caravan sticking onto road to access the pin code machine to get access). 6. Price is a bit steep for what it is. There are no toilets, showers or washing up areas and you are paying (a lot) for the electric. It was not for us!
