Another shared: "We came here for a week as we are renovating our house and had a great time, the staff were really friendly, food was good and beer was cold, what more do you need!

"Added bonus, our dog got treats every time we went into the bar, so much so that when she was being walked yesterday morning, she didn't want to come back in the caravan and led my wife straight to the bar and sat at the door!"

Meanwhile, another wrote: "Bucklegrove holiday park was great to visit. The pool is a great asset to the site. The bucklegrove team are fabulous, Sally and Gary went above and beyond to make our stay special. Would highly recommend and we will be visiting again."
