Barons Cross Inn and Campsite — Restaurant in England

Liked: Basically everything. It was so relaxed,friendly staff always willing to help or chat, clean, tidy level solid pitches, with electric and water at every pitch, within close proximity to the pub which opens at 10 for breakfast and serves food all the way through until 9 at night and stocked some lovely gins as well! The food was magnificent, not the sort of thing that you expect at a small provincial pub, very well chosen ingredients cooked to perfection. We ate three meals there. The chef really knows his stuff and I had one of the best steaks I have had anywhere. Everything was clear, we checked in at the pub, the landlady showed us where everything was, and was really warm and friendly. The shower was open all night which was really nice and the pub toilets and the overnight portable toilet were clean. There is a baby changer in the ladies and an absolutely huge bouncy castle in the beer garden which was full of kids. For somewhere which has minimal rules, it was really a lovely place to stay as everyone was respectful and happy. Lots of kids, lots of dogs, lots of people eating in the beer garden, very Darling Buds of May, and a rare gem of a place. Lovely! No wonder the place was packed. We will definitely be back soon!

Disliked: They had some internet problems whilst we were there but did say the wi-fi isn't always the best anyway. If you are in larger vehicle the track is slightly narrow but perfectly manageable even for really big things like us as long as you are paying attention, but that is just being nit-picky and is out of the control of the owners, so nothing really to...

Liked: Nothing. There was nothing to like

Disliked: I have never stayed anywhere like it! It was beyond filthy dirty. The toilets in the pub were a disgrace. I have seen the owners responses to previous bad reviews. They say they clean them regularly, they certainly don't, and they don't top up the loo roll. They also say to raise any concerns with them but surely guests should not have to ask them to clean the toilets or to provide toilet paper. We used the toilets at around 9.30 in the morning and they were revolting! No loo roll, soggy toilet roll all over the floor and they stunk. My husband went into the gents and there was vomit all over the floor and all over the toilet seat. Later in the day the floor had been cleaned but the toilet seat was still covered. There was hardly anyone on site so there is no way that mess was from that morning. As for the portaloo, there are no words. Again, this is not cleaned and I have photos to prove it. There is one shower on site and it is swimming in water when you walk in. At least provide a clean mop and bucket so people can clean up after themselves. The lock on the door didn't work either and yes, I raised this with the owners, she took note and walked off! The site itself is not well maintained. The hard standing pitches are a mess, grass isn't cut and its just run down. They say it is a work in progress. I would suggest it needs to be closed while the work is done as it is not fit for people...

Liked: No 1 & TOP OF THE LIST. The fact that all the ridiculous negative comments in the reviews, we did not experience, in fact totally the opposite. The facilities on offer for the price are fantastic. The 24hr access to one of the best ( Non push button) campsite showers i have experienced. Toilets are available during pub opening hours and a portaloo which is suitable for people with disabilities. The campsite is well looked after and the grass cut. With hardstanding pitches there is electric and a water connection. For me the pub has not lost its old traditional feel with a bar that has a pool table etc or alternatively the restaurant/bar for a quieter atmosphere. The food was lovely i had fish & chips which was faultless and my wife had steak & chips. There is a Morrisons within walking distance or the town centre a little further. A carboot sale is advertised for a Saturday from midday although there was only one trader on this day maybe a hot weather thing ( 33+ degrees) with no shaded areas. Farmers/craft market in the centre of town also on a Saturday

Disliked: Nothing although maybe one small thing I would consider would be to provide a mop and bucket for the guests who do chose to shower with the curtain outside of the...
