Our 1st CL Holiday

CL number 678 and 679 in SD book, there is a website www.greenacrescl.co.uk 

You will be fine at The Willows then! We have two Labs, so need good dog facilities. Make sure you read more than just the three reviews each CL page first allows, you will get a much clearer picture of CL over a longer period, in all seasons as well. You soon learn to pick out the odd, shall we say "strange" review, from all the others that say how good things are. Be aware that occasionally, even though it isn't allowed, you will get the odd review from someone who hasn't actually stayed a night on the CL in question! It does happen!

Just got to find more sites like Passage Farm within an hours drive from the Trowbridge area of Wiltshire.  I've been trawling through website, but I've been dismayed when I've read a lot of the reviews.  Probably going to try the Kings Arms at All Cannings as that would be good for a Friday night getaway in the summer as I don't finish work until quite late.

Catherine you will enjoy The Kings Arms at All Cannings, Richard the landlord is very hospitable, dogs are allowed in the pub and the walk to and along the canal are good, villagers are very friendly, go for it.

Catherine, I can back up what tda says about the Willows. The lane that passes the site is quiet, and there is a footpath across fields close by. It does have a toilet and a couple of H/S. Another in that area is Emblem Villa, with has EHU & H/S but no toilet. Would recommend both.

Both Greenacres sites are good, only one has H/S and neither has a toilet. Plenty of quiet lanes, footpaths & bridalways close by. We have used one or other of these two nearly every year for the last 8 yrs.

Catherine, your post concerning a route home tomorrow has reminded me of the CL we stayed on at Minchinghampton that should suit you. Burnt Ash Farm, no 708 in the site directory. Mainly grass but at least 1 H/S pitch, with a toilet and great showers. The only drawback is the traffic noise from a cattle grid close to the farm, but we soon got used to it. Great site for walking on the Common.

Think we are on the same site as you right now ( Passage Farm). Been caravanning 35 years and this must be up in the top 10 of cls for us. So much space and excellent service pitches, we don't worry about the two motor homes as they feel quite some distance from us.  Isn't the area fabulous for walking and cycling and we can recommend the pub! 

Also been to Greenacres. Loved it!

Hi BB, the pub is superb we went up there on Friday night.  Didn't manage to try the Fish restaurant though.  have you got the Coachman?

yes that's us in the coachman and still got an awning after last night, You survive?

Lovely to meet you BB, hope you enjoy the rest of your stay.  We will definitely try your recommended CL.
