Christmas get together
Brilliant!
We were 5 vans meeting up for our annual Christmas get together. We just happened to choose a weekend with the largest snowfall and lowest temperatures for years 🌨️. The owner called us a few days before, checked we were OK to come given the weather and explained over the phone how best to position our 5 vans for ease of setting up when in the dark on Friday eve, we had one van with a large awning for socialising and the owner was more than happy for us to use his large grassed area even though it was terrible weather and risked damage to his grass.
We made sure we put matting down on grass to limit damage of all the people going in and out of the awning so I think all was OK!
The site is clean and tidy, the hard standing is flat or as close as you need it to be, the views are stunning and you would have no idea you were 3 mins from the a50 other than some road noise! The site is quiet, there is a heated toilet and shower room and as you're close to major routes, getting out and about is no issue!
On the Sunday before waking up and through the morning we had some huge snow fall.. The owner was super cool and suggested the roads were open and safe and instructed us on getting off the site safely where it has a slight sloap which you wouldn't notice unless your 1.5 tonne van suddenly started pushing your car 🤓 and we didn't need that! ... But he also suggested we just leave the vans with him at no extra cost till it was safe to pick them up (we were only an hour away) as it was we all left safely on the day.. Even though the snow was heavy enough to build a 7ft snowman ⛄
I can imagine a summer weekend with us all together using the grass to pay games with the kids and sit out drinking wine and watching the stars at night...
In essence its a great site for a weekend away a change of scenery and just to get away from the daily grind for a bit.. The owner is attentive and flexible without being in your face... A lovely site 🤠
Hope to go back for a warm weekend
