Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Stayed at the holiday park and decided to eat here as had good reviews. We were disappointed. It was nice and busy but very understaffed. Grumpy bar staff. The only waitress struggled to keep up with clearing and cleaning tables. Very basic pub grub.

Read so many good reviews about Sunday Lunch ... so disappointing! Meat was tasteless, potatoes under cooked and not crispy, cabbage very watery, Yorkshire's flat and doughy etc etc, only thing on the plate worth eating was the cauliflower cheese. Guess we were just unlucky,...but we wouldn't brother again, very expensive inedible meal... we were asked why we hadn't eaten our meal, after explaining the response was "all feedback welcome". ?????More

Visited here several times during our stay at the Highlands End. Breakfast was lovely, dinner was also lovely and massive portions so good value for money! Lots of deals and offers on throughout the week! The soft play is great for babies and toddlers, but...not so much older kiddies. Slightly over-priced for what it is. Would recommend to others!More

If I could give these guys a ten I would!!! Some of our family booked a camper van pitch at Highlands as our original plan was to have a small family party/gathering at the van. However weather put an end to that idea so we...called Martins For assistance. We were a group of 8 with a wheelchair and someone with Motor Neuron with us, plus we had all traveled from all over Uk to be together for birthdays and quality family time. Martins Team were exceptional!!! From the first phone call they offered us space without question, said we could stay there as long as we liked and no issue with some party bits and pieces. We also had a silent disco with us to use and they were more than happy for us to use this. The staff when we were there, couldn’t do enough for us. They were so friendly, nothing was an issue and they truly helped make a memorable weekend. Thank you to you all!More

Very expensive for a place to take families to eat, check the menu before ordering. Chicken goujons were £2.00 each, same for the fish. £8.00 or £8.50 per portion, lots of batter, not much fish, shame, could be ideal but they do have a captive...audience.More

After walking to find Downhouse Farm (which was closed due to staff sickness) we walked to Martins. This is set within a caravan park. Beautiful views overlooking the glorious countryside. We came in to a warm welcome & staff were more than accommodating to our...family of four who hadn’t made a reservation. We had the carvery. We all left with full bellies. Food was good & not overpriced considering it was Easter Sunday. Costa coffee also available. Definitely worth a visit.More

Food took an hour to come. Then the quality of food was bad for the price. Veggie burger tasted very cheap and bland despitecosting £16! Childrens Mac and cheese had little flavour with no garlic bread and the dirty fries didn't have proper bacon on...just a few sprinkles of meat shreds and over cooked dry onion rings. As for the home made colslaw , it was bland , dry and hard. The dessert menu didn't impress either with small slices of cheesecake at £7 eachMore
