A good winter base

Just returned from a 3 night stay at Moreton over a weekend. When we pulled in to the site we were met with a fantastic display of illuminations for the Christmas season. Well done to the wardens for providing the Christmas cheer. Site was quiet because of the time of year and so there was plenty of space and we didn't feel overcrowded by others. A nice easy stroll into Moreton helped for some Saturday Christmas shopping with a craft fair in the town hall and a brass band playing in the Budgens supermarket. All the shop owners were very friendly and welcoming. Facilities were all kept excellent as mentioned in several other reviews and sensibly during the coming week, because of low numbers predicted on site, the wardens were closing one of the toilet blocks to reduce their workload slightly. The site proved ideal for us as a winter getaway with hard standing and heated facilities but even though we pitched towards the back of the site the road noise from the A44 is quite prominent. Probably wouldn't bother some people but we do prefer somewhere that is more peaceful without the constant noise of traffic in the background. The TV link from the hook up bollard worked well for us and was very welcome with a wet Saturday afternoon and long evenings. Well done to the wardens for keeping the grounds so tidy which can't be an easy job during the winter with so much rain, leaves, mud and wind.
