Really well situated campsite with loads to do nearby. We wouldn't normally camp at a 'holiday village' type site but with the dodgy British weather, the allure of the indoor pool was too good to pass up! Certainly kept our 10 yr old busy & happy as it was too blustery to sit outside.

Liked having the bar facility on site with choice of eating there too. Opening times and rules that others have mentioned didn't bother us as we were back to our tent at 9ish anyway. But joined in with the nightly bingo, good fun. When in Rome...

The three of us only stayed three nights but there were many others there for their longer holiday as well as seasonal caravanners. Real mix and lots of children to play with. Added bonus of a playground and separate recreational field for a proper kick-about and dog walking. We didn't bring our dog as puppy + tent isn't for us but there were lots of well-behaved dogs on site.

Lovely and quiet after about 10.30pm, lots of clean, well-maintained facilities (v important to have decent showers!) and friendly staff. Only downside was the pool area - supposed to be no outdoor shoes round the pool but the floor was gritty and quite muddy - not a nice mix with damp tiles. And the pool itself wasn't very clean, really could have done with a clean out. I only lasted 10 minutes - obviously kids aren't as picky as me!

Think we'll be back as Shamba had everything we needed. Thanks for a good stay!

Travelled to visit relatives in the area so the location at the edge of the forest was perfect for us. The facilities are the cleanest I've ever experienced on a campsite. Everything was immaculate. The washing up area even had little j cloths to wipe down the sinks after use. Showers warm. Toilets spotless. Swimming pool fantastic. Even used the launderette....lovely little rooms with iron etc. Pitch was huge even with our large family tent. We travelled with 2 toddlers and were grateful there were no late night parties, boisterous loud guests or music playing. Our children slept peacefully and well 7pm till 7am all three nights. We were given a very informative map and dos and donts when we arrived which was fantastic. This gave us all the info we needed and we knew where everything was. They provide bricks for bbqs, electric at all points and there was water really close by. The grass is kept really short and tidy in the playing field where which my littlens enjoyed a good kick about with their balls. Wardens always busy keeping everything clean and tidy. They were very friendly. Booking process really easy. Lovely ladies on reception and lovely welcome on arrival. Even had wifi which was only £3 and meant we could Skype and send emails. Thanks for a great stay shamba.
