Great inventory, fair prices, and excellent service. You can tell they truly care about their customers. I’ll definitely recommend Reece Auto Sales to friends and family.

Fantastic place. Lots to do for the kids. Lots and lots of space to explore. Would be a great place to come as a whole family and enjoy a weekend away. Showers were hot, clean and modern, along with the toilets. Nice bar area with a gift shop next door.

We had a brilliant weekend here (apart from the rain). The campsite is really lovely, plenty of space between pitches, surrounded by woodland, lots of room for the kids to run about, play ball games, ride bikes etc. The activities on the Saturday were great, my husband and older son found loads to get involved in. It was particularly good as my son got his wristband for free (worth 21.50) as he has a blue peter badge and card. My my younger son (5) there wasn't much to do. He could have done indoor climbing and rafting, but both seemed too scary to him. So we watched the others and spent some time at the campsite playing cricket & boules. The onsite shop is fairly well stocked but mainly sells gifts. You can get milk and some basics like bread, pot noodles and cereal. It would have been good if they had some more breakfast items like bacon, sausages, pancakes and other things kids would have for breakfast. Particularly as the bar serving food didn't open until 12pm. We'd have loved it if we could have gone here for some breakfast as an alternative to making bacon at the tent. There was WiFi available at the shop/bar area, which was great as there wasn't really any signal at all over the rest of the site. There were plenty of toilets and showers around, all of which were clean and well maintained. The only issue I had hlwas that you couldn't change the temperature of the shower and it was very hot, too hot for my kids. Overall, we had a great time and I'd definitely recommend it and we will be returning... hopefully with better weather!
