Top tip, look at the map before you leave, as Sat Nav may not be accurate. 1 mile access road is a bumpy ride with a caravan on the back.
It's a well kept site, good sized pitches, facilitates could be cleaner, but it was half term week and really busy. Lots of kids around. I took my lot, so I can't moan!
Swimming pool was heated and busy, some kids jumping in dangerously with no parents accountable.
Onsite Pub with free WIFI was pleasantly quiet. Plenty of woodland walks with direct access from the site.
Looking forward to visiting again.

We really love this site for the forest location, however over the bank holiday weekend noticed that the facilities for the number of people on site were stretched to the limit, with a full park and only 7 showers (male) at peak times there was a long wait. Also looks like the facilities are in need of a spruce up with paint flaking. Site staff appeared to be stretched and not very friendly. The disabled shower is used by all with no radar key, my son (wheel chair user) regularly waited over 15 minutes to access the toilet/shower.

My two daughters (12, 9) myself and four other families have just returned from a 3 night stay. We were welcomed and shown to our pitch which was very generous in size. Slight downside is the EHU unit was quite far from the tent and despite our long cable it was difficult to reach. Luckily I was pitched next to my friend so I ran the cable across her pitch. Could have been a bit akward if it was a stranger.
Despite the site being large we didn't queue for the showers or washing up facilities which I was very pleased about. The showers aren't the best I've encountered but they get the job done! Only 5 showers (ladies) for the whole site but well maintained and clean.
Kids loved adventuring in the forest, swimming in the pool was a big plus. They were in there rain or shine. Take a chair to the pool as there's lots of space but no seating provided. We spent all three days on the site and kids were happy and made their own entertainment. Parks, football, table tennis, futsal, pool table - what more could they have wanted! My daughter was desperate to watch Women's UEFA semi final and wifi wasn't behaving - a very helpful waiter in the pub restaurant helped us sort out an alternative way to view, which made my daughter very happy despite the result ☹️
Overall I'd recommend the site and would visit again and perhaps explore the surrounding area as there is quite a lot to do locally.

We are a family of 5 who Visited In April for 5 Nights and will return and recommend.
This is a fantastic campsite set in the forest, it is really peaceful and there are fantastic walks to be had but also many great facilities on site.
The staff keep the site looking clean and tidy and seem to really enjoy what they do.
There is an outside pool for the summer months, a bar and restaurant with a small play area outside and a larger one on the main field to the front of the Dower House, there is a well stocked shop with little bits for the kids to buy. My eldest son enjoyed using the football pitch area on the field outside reception/shop and was in and around the bar area with friends most of the time. The pool table in the bar is also a big hit with the older kids.
This is a very pleasant site with spacious pitches in a great setting, I really like that you drive a couple of miles into the forest to get to the site.
Excellent!

This is our 2nd trip to the Dower House touring park,
As a family of 5 with 3 boys aged 4, 8 and 15 we find it a perfect place to visit, we take all of the bikes with us and enjoy cycling around the forest and various cycle tracks, there are miles and miles of track to follow.
As for the park itself, the pitches are very large and provide good level ground with electric hookups very close by. There are plenty of water points and waste points. There are only a couple of toilet waste points but are easy enough to get to.
There is a park on site for the kids to play at and a pub for the adults ;-)
They have recently opened an on-site restaurant which I cannot rate as of yet due to not trying it out yet.
There is a pool table that costs 50p ago but it is in dire need of refurbishment.
The outdoor swimming pool is an excellent feature, however wasn't open in April, but was open last October when we visited last.
There is a reasonably well stocked and priced shop on-site.
I haven't used the shower blocks, however the wife has used them, unfortunately she doesn't rate them particularly highly, although they are clean. They are the typical push button pre-set temperature ones.
Toilet blocks are kept very clean also.

2 adults + 2 kids (10/5), for a 2 night stay 18/19/20 September
Quiet campsite, felt that we had the pitch area all to ourselves, imagine would be busy in main season though.
Went knowing that the on site swimming pool would be closed but had activities planned so not a problem.
Kids didn't use the play equipment so much as they loved playing in the forest directly behind tent.
Toilet/shower block v. Clean and tidy, plenty of hot water. All communal areas(+site ) kept very clean.
Found the Information Point very helpful, and up to date.
Onsite Pub, with some entertainments, which were enjoyable.
Onsite shop, had basics but end of season so could understand a shortening of supplies.
Access road a little rough, but most potholes filled in.
Some lighting from the field to the shower block would be helpful, even if it was some luminous stripes on the fencing.
Will put it on list for a return next year.
