点评:Our Happy Place – Six Visits in Five Years! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was our sixth visit to Pillaton Hall Farm in five years. We first came when our boys were only six and seven, and they are now eleven and twelve. They still ask to return every year, which really says everything about how much we love it here.
The whole site is clean, spacious and very well looked after. The facilities are excellent, with plenty of washing-up sinks and hot running water. The showers are immaculate and cleaned regularly, which makes such a difference when camping as a family.
Occasionally, children leave toilet roll on the floor, but that is not the campsite’s fault. The cleaners are always quick to sort it out. Parents should take responsibility and encourage their children to respect the facilities and practise good toilet habits.
There is so much safe, open space for children to enjoy. Our boys love the huge bouncing pillows, the different parks and play areas, the bike track, the fishing lakes and the brilliant activity lake. It gives them the freedom to have fun, explore and make friends while still feeling like a safe and well-run site.
The fishing is another huge highlight for us. The lakes are peaceful and beautifully surrounded by reeds, wildlife and countryside views. Catching fish here has created some really special family memories.
We also love staying on the back field behind Dottie’s. The views are beautiful and the sunsets are absolutely amazing. Sitting outside the tent at the end of the day and watching the sky change colour is one of our favourite parts of being here.
The food from Dottie’s is lovely, generously portioned and always served with a smile. The staff across the site are friendly, helpful and work hard to keep everything running smoothly.
There are rules, but we honestly see that as a good thing. They help keep such a large and popular site safe, clean, organised and enjoyable for everyone.
We love that there is enough to keep children busy while still allowing them to enjoy nature instead of constantly relying on technology. Children may occasionally say they are bored, but that gives them the chance to discover how much fun the great outdoors can be. Bikes are a great thing to bring too, as the wide paths and open spaces give children plenty of room to explore.
Pillaton Hall Farm genuinely makes us so happy as a family. It has become part of our boys’ childhood and has given us years of laughter, fishing, bike rides, adventures, beautiful sunsets and precious memories together. They ask to come back time and time again.
In our experience, Pillaton Hall Farm does not deserve some of the negative reviews it receives. TripAdvisor can sometimes become an outlet for complaints, but it is also important to take the time to share positive experiences.
We would recommend ignoring the overly negative reviews and experiencing this wonderful place for yourself. We believe the price is fair considering the size of the site, the range of activities and the clean facilities, including hot running water for washing up, which is not always available at other campsites.
We already cannot wait for visit number seven. It truly is our family’s happy place and has created so many wonderful memories for our children. It is a site where you can pitch your tent, relax and enjoy being together. Even if it rains, there are still things to do.
The great outdoors is a wonderful place. Keep it simple and give children that unique sense of freedom and adventure that can sometimes be lost in the modern world.
One final thing: the little shop is a bit of a walk up the path, but it is an enjoyable stroll and part of the camping experience!
We absolutely love it here and cannot wait to return. ❤️🏕️🎣🚲🌅
翻译:我们的最爱之地——五年间六次到访!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
这是我们在五年内第六次造访皮拉顿庄园农场。最初来这里时,我们的儿子们才六七岁,如今他们已经十一二岁了。他们每年都吵着要再来,这足以说明我们有多喜欢这个地方。
整个园区干净整洁、空间宽敞,维护得也相当不错。设施极为完善,设有大量洗碗池以及随时可用的热水。淋浴间同样一尘不染,定期得到清洁。这一点在全家一起露营时尤为重要。
偶尔会有孩子把卫生纸留在地板上,但这不是露营地的错。清洁人员总是能迅速清理干净。家长应当负起责任,教育孩子要爱护设施并养成良好的如厕习惯。
这里有大量安全又开阔的空间供孩子们尽情玩耍。我们的儿子们特别喜欢那些巨大的弹力垫、各式各样的公园和游乐区,还有自行车道呢。那里的钓鱼湖以及热闹非凡的活动湖,让孩子们能够尽情玩耍、探索世界并结交新朋友,同时整个营地又给人一种安全且管理有序的感觉。
对我们来说,钓鱼也是一大乐事。这些湖泊宁静祥和,周围环绕着芦苇丛、各种野生动物以及美丽的田园风光。在这里钓到鱼的经历也成为了我们一家人珍贵的回忆。
我们也很喜欢住在多蒂屋后面的那片空地上。那里的景色美不胜收,日落时分更是令人陶醉。每天傍晚,我们最喜欢的活动就是坐在帐篷外,欣赏天色的变化。
Dottie’s提供的食物美味可口、分量十足,服务员总是面带微笑地服务。营地里的工作人员也都友善又乐于助人,努力确保整个营地运转顺畅。
虽然有一些规定,但我们真心觉得这是好事。这些规定有助于维护这个规模庞大且备受青睐的营地的安全、整洁、有序,让每个人都能享受愉快的露营体验。我们很喜欢这里有足够多的活动能让孩子们乐在其中,同时又能让他们亲近大自然,而不必总是依赖电子产品。虽然孩子们偶尔会说觉得无聊,但这恰恰给了他们机会去发现大自然有多有趣。带上自行车也很不错,因为宽阔的小径和开阔的空间为孩子们提供了尽情探索的空间。
Pillaton Hall Farm真的让我们全家都开心不已。这里已经成了我们孩子们童年记忆的一部分,它为我们带来了无数欢笑、钓鱼的乐趣、骑自行车的时光、各种冒险经历、美丽的日落,以及许多珍贵的共同回忆。孩子们一次又一次地要求再来这里。
以我们的经验来看,皮拉顿霍尔农场并不该遭受那些负面评价。虽然TripAdvisor有时会成为人们发泄不满的平台,但花点时间来分享美好的体验也同样重要。我们建议忽略那些过于负面的评价,亲自来体验一下这个美妙的地方吧。考虑到营地的规模、提供的各类活动项目,以及干净整洁的设施——包括随时可用的热水以供洗漱,我们认为这个价格相当合理;毕竟其他露营地可未必能提供这样的条件。
我们已经迫不及待地期待着第七次到访了。这里绝对是我们全家的乐园,也为孩子们留下了无数美好的回忆。这是一个可以搭帐篷、放松身心并享受与亲友相聚时光的好地方。即使下雨,也有许多事情可做。
大自然真是个美妙的地方。保持简单的生活方式吧,让孩子们体验到那种在现代社会中有时会逐渐消失的自由与冒险感。
最后一点:小商店在沿着小路走一段距离后才能到达,不过这段路程十分惬意,也是露营体验的一部分哦!
我们非常喜欢这里,迫不及待想要再回来呢。❤️🏕️🎣🚲🌅
