After reading the site description on their web page we booked 1 week at this site. According to their web site there was a 'luxury reception' & 'luxury showers'. The site was also described as 'the atmosphere is one of calm relaxation'.
Do not be mislead by this description, what they don't tell you is that the site is adjacent to the main road with constant road noise, this was so bad on some occasions that we couldn't even have a normal conversation outside on the pitch.
The luxury reception area was a counter in the shop. I complained to the site manager with no joy, I have since written to their head office to complain, no response to my letter sent in June.
The facilities are not as good as the caravan club sites & are more expensive, in fact there was a constant smell from the drains in the shower blocks.
The area around the service points were not cleaned during our stay, this area was covered by grass cuttings & other debris.
We are not overly fussy campers, we like a nice clean site with friendly staff, unfortunately this we did not find on our visit. We have stayed at better municipal sites in France.
Stayed for 2 nights at Stanmore Hall. Excellent, well maintained, only 10 mins drive from Bridgnorth town. Well signposted from the main road. Site is accessed/existed via security barriers.
Pitches are large and the site is well laid out. There is a large pool that is in the middle of the camp site which has resident ducks, also there is a peacock that patrols the grounds. I must say I have had the best shower ever at this site.
The toilet/shower block is accessed with a key. The shower cubicles all have a pull down seat, plenty of hooks for cloths/towels, a holder in the shower for your shampoo / soap etc and the water can be controlled by both heat / cold and pressure of water. There are also separate private washing areas. Free hairdryers too!
The play park has swings etc. The shop is well kept and the reception staff are very friendly. We forgot our TV aerial and they kindly lent us one for our stay.
We took our dog with us and on a slightly down note, there is no where to let your dog off the lead. There is a dog walk that surrounds the site and there are plenty of dog bins around. Happy camping / touring everyone.
Good site in a lovely location - Bridgenorth very nearby (transport needed - motorhome owners may need more than a push bike as it is quite hilly going into town)
Great for walking Black Country museum at dudley is excellent - suggest the whole day for a family with children. Can take a picnic and if you gift aid entrance fee you can return free for 12 months.
Good facilities on site. It was very busy so chose to shower in the evening -able to get in straight away. May have been more difficult in the morning as over 130 pitches and only one toilet / shower block.
We were on hardstanding (prefer grass but no choice as we booked late). Wardens are really nice and helpful.
Think it would be a good idea to enforce the 'one way' system for bikes as well as cars. Many bikes and safety was a concern - riding against the cars
Good meal at The Red Lion - menu in information room.
Lots to do but as we only had the weekend we did not have to do much.
We stayed at Stanmore and found the site very friendly. We had a super pitch and though my hose did not reach the water supply everything else was very good. The staff did say that the tv might not be very good but we had an excellent picture on ours.
The shop is very well stocked. We purchased a 25 metre tv cable for £15- bargain. The other prices are what you would expect to pay at a site shop.
The toilets and showers are very well kept. Someone paid great attention as all the screws in the shower block are perfectly vertical. Sad to notice but the attention is in the details.
The site will only allow one car per pitch though there is parking by reception though this is outside of the automated barriers.
The town of Bridgnorth is a short drive away. There are no local pubs or shops within easy walking distance.
All in all our stay was pleasurable which is nice as we are staying at their other two sites later this year.
This is a nice site. Agree with a previous post though about the noise from the road - this has to be the worst one we've stayed at for traffic noise - but then again we were on a pitch just as you enter the site, I reckon the ones further round might not be as noisy. I was surprised there only seemed to be the one shower block for the entire site - but having said that, every time I went I never saw anyone else in there so it must be sufficient. We were unfortunate to be placed in a pitch in the corner right next to the little gap in the fence to get out of the field, and we ended up having every tom dick and harry just walking past the window of the van, so no privacy at all. Play area was nice, but a bit too far away from where we were to let my 8 year old go on her own. Ideally situated for some good sight seeing, and we had a good time. Would probably try a different one from their chain in the future.
It was with great trepidation that myself, the wife and the boy made the long and perilous journey to Stanmore from our home in Stafford, we normally tend to stay in the local area but decided on somewhere a little more exotic for the boys first holiday.
On entering the park I knew straight away that this was the place for us, clean & spacious with good facilities and a cracking little shop. A little bit of paradise in Shropshire. I got on with the task of setting up our tent (17 mins 26 secs, a record if you're interested) while the wife and boy relaxed in the old Mondeo.
The surrounding area was cracking, me and my mate 'Slap' having a nice pint of Bass or two in the local watering hole, great views and much better weather than we get at home.
All in all we had a fantastic week, there's so much to do and we could have stayed much longer, I think the wife summed it when during a game of crib on the Sunday evening, her with a glass of wine, a nice can of Bass for myself, she looked at me and said Andy 'This is the life'
Have recently returned from 4 nights here over the Easter Holiday! Very nice site. Mainly grass pitches but some with hardstandings which is where we were pitched!
Friendly staff, but they are very strict about how you pitch: car, caravan and awning all facing the same way! Ok if you're on your own, but flexibility is nice if you're away with friends!
Nice dog walking area and lovely lake with ducks & geese. Also a peacock patrols the grounds! Small playarea. Ideal site for bikes though.
Toilet block is immaculate, loads of hot water and also dishwashing area & laundry! Bridgnorth is a lovely quaint town & well worth a visit. There is a Sainsbury's, Somerfield & M&S Food! Will definitely be returning!
We stayed here for four days and was very lucky with the weather what a fantastic campsite!
Lovely showers (which were free), lovely staff, a good shop, quiet and peaceful. A good adventure to get on a steam train (not too dear). So recommend to visit the severn railway.
The best pub to eat in is the castle in Bridgnorth also selling real ales. We are returning to this site in 2010 and can't wait to get there.
What a fantastic caravan park! We returned here for the second time, having enjoyed ourselves immensely the first time. We stayed in the adults only area, which was quiet and tranquil. The toilets, shop and park facilities are exemplary. We really would recommend this park to everyone - our favourite!
We have tried the sister parks, Oxon Hall in Shrewsbury, and Riverside in Betwys-y-coed, and would recommend them both. You know you're getting a good standard of facilities, and a relaxing break in beautiful countryside.
We stayed here for 3 nights beginning of Nov, and the site is lovely, and if you like ducks they descend on you when you arrive and come waddling over whenever you walk over to toilet block in case you have a morsel or 2 for them, I loved it. Also the resident peacock is there, as well looking for some food if you have it. The wardens were smashing, very helpful and although when we arrived Thurs evening, it was pitch black as unfortunately the sub station down the road blew up that afternoon but they were there ready for you with torches and got us onto our pitch no bother, and we settled up the next day, they said the electric would probably not be on til early hours, so we got onto the pitch with torches - that was funny, got the bits and bobs done, left the awning til the morning, had some sandwiches, and went to bed, to wake up to all facilities restored. The site is well kept and we give it a 9/10. The only thing that dropped it from a 10 is that the decoration in the facilities could do with an upgrade ie the tiling,etc, but apart from that the showers and toilets were fab in themselves and kept very clean. This would be even better in the warmer weather. If you stay here you must have lunch or meal at the Punch Bowl down the road a bit, we had lunch carvery, and its £6.95 and it cost us £18.60 for 2 carverys, a pint of bitter and coffee for me that came in a pot, and I had nearly 3 cups out of it, well good value for money and the food was 10/10.You get given your meat and asked if that is enough, so you could have had more if you wanted it, and then you help yourself to about 7 or 8 lots of veg, and you can have it all if you like it all, then gravy, and apple sauce for pork, cranberry for the turkey and horseradish for the beef. I waddled out of there, and enjoyed every morsel. We were on the adult area, which is very quiet. It is well lit at night, you can see where you are going, but its soft low lights, so you are not dazzled. Dog walk is more than ample for the morning walk and last night time walk, and for the older dog, with plenty of bins. We are going back in 2010 in the summer.
We visited for a few days in August and were expecting it to be much more crowded than it was.
Pitch was pre allocated, which we generally don’t like, but it was a nice quiet pitch on grass as we had requested.
Only one car allowed on pitch which was a drawback for us, but the car park was quite large so no problem parking second car there.
Barrier coded in and out. Key to toilets as on most CC sites.
OH arrived early – forgot it was 1pm not 12 – but they still let him in which was nice.
Lots of rules given out on arrival with a picture of how to put car/caravan/awning but once people were on it seemed fairly relaxed (we were on the adults only part so I don’t know about the family end).
Toilets and showers were ok, showers fairly small and neither were as clean as we have come to expect on CC sites but perfectly OK and didn’t have to queue.
Site well kept, mowed etc but more expensive than CC sites generally. Nice and quiet - apart from the peacock at 4am one morning!
Wardens very friendly, little shop very useful so probably a site we will come back to when we want to visit the area again.
We visited the site during July and it rained everyday for 4 days! It was the first outing for our Icarus 500 tent.Luckily the grass drained very well. We were on plot 18. Due to the one-way system all vehicles entering the site had to come by us but most vehicles obeyed the speed limit. It was a good sized plot and very handy for the toilets, showers, shop etc We did experience quite a bit of road noise during the rush hour. There is no such thing as the perfect plot!
The site is located close to the town of Bridgnorth. It is a very level site with both grass and hard standing pitches. It is quite a scenic site with a duck pond in the centre. The toilet block is cleaned daily and is of a good standard, though for some reason there is a key entry system which means that if you either forget your key or two of your party want to use the toilets simultaneously you can't get in. This is kind of typical of the site in that there seems to be endless rules and regulations to follow and some members of staff seem more intent on enforcing rules than serving customers. The children's play area consists of only a slide and swings. The shop is small but stocks essential items, though the extra charge for the morning paper seemed unnecessary. The water points and disposal were well located and well presented.
This was our first very nervous outing with our new twin axel Conquerer 630. We have not pulled a van for over 12 years, so we wanted a site that was easy to access from the road, no tight turns, narrow lanes etc and had large pitches. This fitted the bill perfectly. Very easy to find off the main Bridgnorth road and well sign posted.
On arrival, I explained our inexperience and they very kindly showed us to a huge grass pitch and helped me during my rather pathetic 20 point reversing manoeuvre! They could not have been more helpful.
As said many times below, this is a picture perfect site in the grounds of Stanmore Hall, with ducks waddling around the nice lake and a peacock strutting its stuff. A well maintained, well lit and well drained site; useful as it rained most of the 5 nights we were there. Some fine trees from the original Hall gardens. All the pitches were generous and the site gives the impression of low occupancy, even when busy. All very easy on the eye.
Reasonable dog walking area with nice views. Pleasant shop. Could not fault it.
Sure the toilet block is a bit of a walk if you are at the far end of the site, but no big deal.
Plenty do do in the area, Ludlow, Much Wenlock Abbey etc. Nowhere within walking distance though.
We did tire somewhat of the duck muck that our dog kept on eating and making herself sick, and we kept treading in. Minor issue really and mainly due to the large pitch they gave us near to the lake. We would return again and will certainly try the other Morris sites.
Absolutely fantastic site, we keep going back for more! All staff on site more than helpful, facilities are superb, slightly more expensive than other sites but well worth the guaranteed quality. Children’s play area is good, clean and safe. Toilet and shower block is always spotlessly clean. Local amenities also very good. Highly recommend and will be there a few times in 2009!
