Angry staycationers blast 'luxury' glamping site after turning up to find field ...

Furious staycationers have slammed a glamping site after they arrived to find a field 'full of sheep poo', a lack of tents and just four showers for all the guests.  

Motorsport Camping and Glamping in Bleak Hill, Silverstone advertised luxury camping accommodation for customers who were attending the nearby British Grand Prix on the weekend of July 17 and 18.

However, visitors at the site instead reported a lack of showers, deflated beds and no towels or bedding. 

The owner, named by customers as Wayne Atkinson, blamed travel site Booking.com for the fiasco, claiming his glamping experience had been overbooked. 

One furious visitor told MailOnline: 'We have just returned from a terrible Luxury Glamping experience. 

'On arrival, there were no showers, no beds, bed linen, towels, food, drink, electricity, the list is endless of what we were promised. I am £770 out of pocket.'

Another said: 'When we got to the site, which was not signposted and was just a field full of sheep poo and old wool, the police were there as were many other angry 'glampers'.

'There was no food, bar and the tents were not dressed despite him saying all that was missing was bedding. There were four showers for the whole site which broke down on the Friday, due to the generator running out of fuel.'

While a third said: 'I paid £790. There was one cold water tap, no working showers or washing facilities - and this whilst in a pandemic.

'We had to rush to a local Tesco at 10.40pm (it closed at 11pm) to buy airbeds and sleeping bags as nothing was provided in the tents. There was no bar service and no entertainment and the sole member of staff was Wayne and a young kid on an electric bike who claimed to be 'a friend of Wayne's friend'.'

One visitor went as far as branding Mr Atkinson a 'con artist' and said: 'We had booked what we thought was luxury glamping, when we arrived we realised this was not the case.

We were expecting proper beds, bedding, toiletries, fully carpeted, lighting, power socket and showers with daily towel change for glamping customers.

'I have tried on numerous occasions to contact Wayne, via text, email and voice. The man is a con artist and has told so many different excuses and stories to different people.

'In all, he supplied no food, no security, no COVID measures(as advised by the council apparently) no bar, no entertainment (unless you call the police the entertainment). We were on edge the whole time, not knowing if we were
