Literally everything!
Hard to think of anything
The setting is beautiful. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. The staff are the absolute best. The music. The attention to detail in the facilities.

Nice, clean, relax site. Love the music evenings and the friendly happy staff.
We found the menu in the restaurant a little bit restricted not much choice if you don't like pizza.
Pitch was large with electric, water and drainage for waste water.

This place is the only place in the world where we return. It is a very special set up from the team that run it through to the facilities. It is safe for children to play and explore and the people that visit seem to be like minded, friendly and warm. Love the bio attributes and the concerts. All aspects come together to make a fabulous holiday.
Clean, well equipped and fully functional

Friendly and helpful greeting, nice cafe and restaurant. Lots to do on the campsite - we loved it!!

We loved it! The camping site is beautiful and we really appreciated the whole spirit of the place, that was felt in everything from the friendly people working there, the atmosphere, the activities focused on nature and upcycling. It is quite unique and we would love to come back.
The restaurant food was unsatisfying. We eat mostly plantbased food and this was hard to find. We had a pasta with vegetables from the restaurant that had so little taste we had to ask for cheese and oil to make it interesting. also at the barbecue it would have been nice to have vegetarian options from the grill, specifically cause it is a eco-friendly place.
Tents are fabulous, we loved the peaceful place we stayed. We were first a little disappointed that we lived away from camping site, but ended up apreciating the peace. It is alittme harder to feel the community spirit when living at this place. Maybe make it even more clear when booking.

It was wonderful as always - everyone was so friendly as usual and the facilities were top notch as always. We especially enjoyed the bar/cafe being open longer hours as we travelled in peak season this time.
It would be excellent if for the first hour of the pool opening in the morning, if this could be reserved for adults only? Or perhaps the last hour?
We had a lakeside pitch which was a great size. Plenty of room and great views.

An excellent stay as always. Very caring staff. Felt very welcome.
Slightly cooler weather next year please!
Plenty of space. Close to bathroom facilities for those with motility issues. Excellent shed space and fridge.

We absolutely loved the site and the wonderful friendly and helpful atmosphere created in large by the staff. We have already booked to stay next year such was our enjoyment. The site was clean and tidy, well maintained, and situated within a gorgeous part of the countryside.
The shower block adjacent to the restaurant unfortunately wasn’t sufficiently accessible. The shower kept turning off after about 1 second and that meant stepping out of it to press for more water which ran out again very quickly. we ended up using the shower block near the cafe which was much better. The only other slightly negative comment referred to the timing of the musical entertainment. Whilst we absolutely loved the music perhaps 11pm would have been a better time to bring it to an end as many have really early starts in the morning afterwards.
All great. Clean. Well maintained. And when we found the first pitch lacking in shade we were helpfully allowed to move to a site with cover. We hugely appreciated that.

The setting is very beautiful and a special environment. The staff are lovely. Morning breakfast order was excellent.
Shower block which hasn't improved since our 2018 visit. Not one shower worked properly. A cool shower in a heatwave was hard to come by. A lot of water wasted when trying to get the right temperature. A water tap on the pitch would have been good as the nearest tap was where chemical toilets were emptied. The pitch although large had sloping and lots of holes which left reduced options for pitching. Better stocked shop.
The view was lovely. The extras were most welcome as were the rabbits Harry and Jude.
The holes and lack of water tap.

Relaxed atmosphere
Nicole always gives us a friendly welcome and Raphaël stops for a chat and make us feel part of the family. It does not feel like a corporate chain of sites, but personal. My daughter found her bikini, thanks for checking.
Shame no dogs allowed, our fiends can't come with their dog.

A gentle, relaxed feeling about the site with friendly, helpful staff. The animals were a pleasure to see every day.
Many flower tubs were untended & it was a disappointment to see the promised vegetable garden & greenhouse overgrown. A couple of signs indicating the one way road system would make it safer.
Comfortable & with excellent decking/ outdoor space with sun brolly, loungers & bbq.
Smelly toilet areas, particularly in the heat.

Every part of our stay was fantastic
Food was not good though in the restaurant
Beautiful surroundings and site

This friendly, well run, peaceful campsite is a great holiday spot. It never feels crowded, the surrounding areas are great to visit using bikes which the site are able to source for you, The pool & food services make camping a little more luxurious.
Quiet pitch, with fridge, bbq and chairs

We had a wonderful 4 nights. Been here many times over the last 30 years and it is always a pleasure to return. We have many wonderful memories of family times and just the two of us now. Our late son loved this site. Very friendly atmosphere from staff to visitors. We had a lake side pitch which made it more special. The weather also played ball. We always try to stop here when we are in Normandy.
Only comment would be to request more choices on the restaurant menu and to allow side options extras to be purchased with main meals.
Lakeside pitch is always worth requesting but most pitches are absolutely fine.

The campground is built into a 6-hectare old orchard and wooded park surrounding a Louis XVI château.Lakeside The pitches are spacious and landscaped with lots of greenery. Campers can choose pitches right on the banks of the central fishing lake.Roaming Animals: Ducks swim on the lake, while chickens, friendly goats, and loose rabbits wander freely around the property, adding a rustic farm-like charm. Lots for children to do. Lovely pool area. Bar and restaurant also on site. Modern spacious Shower block. Highly recommend this site.
Well kept pitches. Good size. All individual

The site is nature based, with a wood on one side on the hill which provides clean air. The goats and fowl in front of reception are delightful. The digester is an excellent idea for carbon neutral electricity. The staff are friendly and helpful, even fixed the rickety chairs we brought with us, by tightening up the screws that held it together The swimming pool was wonderful relief during an unexpected heatwave
You can't improve on a camp site where everyone works together to provide a good experience.
The facilities were fine. Enough room and pleasant well arranged accommodation. The kitchen area was well appointed and provided with all the essentials. The shower room worked well with plenty of room. We were able keep our bedroom cool overnight. The outdoor area was very pleasant.

Not a small campsite but with generous pitches you felt as if you were on a small farm campsite. We had a very large pitch over looking the lake which was perfect. One thing I liked was you could choose your own pitch rather than being told which pitch you have to go on. The pool was very welcome as the temperature was touching 40 degrees. Overall a beautiful campsite is gorgeous countryside.
Though the showers near the play area were lovely and modern we couldn’t turn the temperature down low, in some the button to operate the shower was too far from the shower head to reach it easily and in a couple of the showers it only ran for a few seconds so we had to change cubicles. But they were spotlessly clean.
Good spacious pitch. Plenty of shade.
Nothing to dislike.

Spacious pitches with bbq, parasol, table and chairs. We had a premium pitch with water and electricity. Lovely pool. Friendly and a well stocked shop.
The restaurant served okay food - starter and puddings very good, the mains we both had were very basic
