General information
Site in a lovely setting close to many chateaux. Modern facilities and large bar area overlooking outdoor pool. Fantastic modern toilet/shower block. Large level pitches.
Site very noisy in the evening. Saturday and Sunday bar open until 1 am with very loud thumping base music. On Saturday night gangs of teenagers roaming around shouting and screaming. Pitches although large were not looked after. Large bare patches, long grass, hedges not trimmed. We told Reception about extreme noise until 1am. They said bar shouldn’t be open until this time and would deal with it. Next night it was the same! A German couple in the next pitch said it was the same last weekend. We have been staying at Castels sites for 30 years this was the worst - not up to standard

General information
great site with brilliant amenities Plenty of walks and cycle paths.Very good location.
we have visited many castel sites,this being on of the best apart from our cabin. When we arrived the door was open and we were unable to lock it.The toilet was blocked and the general state of cleanliness was not up to your usual standard The door was put right immediatly but the toilet remained a problem ,in my oppinion the toilet pan was the wrong type (should only be used for liquids) We visited a Castel site the following week and it was all top class as always .

General information
Excellent shower block, plenty of toilets. Large pitches. Noise stopped at 11pm.
There was only one recycling and rubbish place outside the main camp. So we had to use our bikes to get rid of the rubbish. There should be at least some more inside the campsite, as it such a large campsite.
Accommodation review
Large pitch. Water and electricity on site.
Brambles not cut back but that's understandable with the growing and size of the camp.

General information
Quiet, lots of space, lots of things to do on site. Staff very helpful. Felt very safe and secure to allow kids to run around freely. We are already planning on retruning next year for 3 weeks and camping on one of the large pitches.
no safe gluten free options in cafe/restaurant. Shop had little gluten free food as well. Bar was a bit over priced for drinks
Accommodation review
Decent size, good location in shade on very hot days
We definitely left it cleaner than we found it.

General information
The wash facilities are excellent, well maintained, very clean park with helpful staff.
We had previously hired a fridge, which despite putting the request in my booking form, was not available this year. The cool lockers are just not big enough, and we find the shop too expensive (compared to a supermarket) for buying all our food.

General information
This is a lovely site. Not too quiet and not rowdy. Shop on site is well-stocked and staff were friendly. Excellent amenities and activities.
Reception (process not building) was poor. We were given our pitch (private shower/toilet) and off we went - it was locked! I returned and asked for a key. Later I had to return to get our included wi-fi code as this had not been provided. Then I discovered we should have had a welcome pack, so I went back again! The takeaway pizza was appalling, barely cooked and tasteless. Chips were like cardboard. This site is very, very expensive but is spoilt by poor management. Also, wi-fi is a part of daily life. Why only 2 devices? It's 2019! I can get free wi-fi in a supermarket! Include it for all.
Accommodation review
Fridge was good. Toilet block was clean and worked well. Pitches were a good size
The shower unit could do with a curtain as it was impossible to not flood the floor. Not a major issue and it soon dried in the heat. 2 years ago after we stayed here, I suggested that a canopy over the washing-up area would be a good idea but still not provided.
