Friendly and Peaceful Site

We have been to this site quite a few times now, as our son lives nearby. We have been in Spring and Summer and have always enjoyed our stay, with nice walks nearby. The owners are very friendly and go camping themselves. At the right time you can even pick your own fruit. The approach is a bit tight but nothing too drastic.

Nice Spot

Stayed for a week in November and had a great time. Entrance is a bit tricky but if you take care it's ok.Electric hook up is only 10 amps so everyone seemed to be out one time or another trying to reset the RCD switches.Only down side for me was the toilet waste was a long way from the site. It was at the front of the farm building which is quite a way from the pitches.We found that you can hear the main road noise from the pitch but it was that inaudible we couldn't at first work out if it was the road or the weir.Bus route brill, Pubs nearby and access to attractions easy. We will return to enjoy the locality again, and at £9 a night what more do you want.Just a note I used the caravan club Sat Nav to get there and even this tried to get me to turn off down the lane before the farm. Entrance has a large white board on the right hand side if coming down the hill

Fantastic CL

This is a really relaxing and quiet CL, set in a lovely area of Somerset. The area for caravans includes both hardstanding and grass - we chose a grass pitch, as we then could have unspoilt views down towards the river. We were extra lucky as the weather during the first week in September was tremendous, hot and sunny. The owners were away when we arrived, and on their return from holiday on the Monday, Mr Benson was straight on his mower cutting the grass!!! An exceptional site for a quiet relaxing break, with a couple of good pubs in walking distance.

So convenient

For us this site is perfect for visiting family that live locally. Okay, so on our first visit we were a little concerned about getting in and out, but if you go slow and steady it's worth the hassle. We've been three times now and hope to be back again if not this year then next. Beautiful setting and well kept grounds. On all the occasions we've been there we've had heavy rain, and although we choose to park on the grass we didn't have any problem with drainage. Sarah and Mike are lovely and very welcoming. Good walking for the dog, but always wear wellies, the grass on the back tracks can be a bit long and wet. Rode is a very quaint village, especially the village library - one way to use the old telephone box. Lots of wildlife around, including a very curious speckled hen who will eat out of your hand if you let her. Excellent value for money and I'm actually wondering why I'm writing this 'cause we may not be able to get in next time.........

A mini oasis

We have just spent a gloriously sunny week at this site and the web picture didn't do it justice. I can imagine that even if it were pouring with rain this site would still look beautiful. Sarah the owner was very kind in guiding us in as we had taken a wrong turn as we approached and she kindly waved us in at the top of the drive or I feel we would have passed right by.The only criticism we have and it's a very teeny weeny one, is that perhaps the CC sign could be more visible from both directions. The location was perfectly centrally placed to visit the many attractions in any given direction. The Mill on the Rode is a very picturesque place to while away some time. The food was good but slightly over priced. We have two Whippets and the dog walk was their idea of heaven and if they had a say in the matter they would give this CL a 100% doggy rating too. We will be back!! Tracy and Kevin

I am a Cider Drinker!!

Fantastic site!! No problem at all with entrance. Really friendly family owned farm and site. Bus stop to Bath 5 mins walk & excellent pub/restaurant also 5 mins walk. The site itself has plenty of space, 3 hardstanding pitches & plenty of space for those who prefer grass. In fact when we left, work was just starting on widening the access to the field (not that it was a problem). Excellent recycling facilities.Lovely area, Bradford on Avon, Trowbridge & Frome 10 mins drive. It was just an added bonus that I got to see The Wurzles while staying in Somerset! Highly recommended - excellent holiday - we were even lucky enough that 2 lambs were born while we were staying. (well, excellent apart from the blow out on the way home!!)

very dark at night

a beautiful countryside site, just right for stargazers. No one around when we arrived so we picked the largest pitch and saw Sarah the next day, no problem at all. Free range chickens manage to escape and come to breakfast, just a slice of bread tho'. Entrance (on the left) could be tight when coming down the hill but no problem for our motorhome. The local hostelry is The Mill at Rode and the fish pie is to die for as is the ham, egg and chips. Only one slice of ham but 1/2 inch thick and nearly covers the plate. Our grandson was quite amused to have his fish and chips on a board. Sarah is a most lovely lady and even delivers the eggs when wanted, rich dark orange yolks. Site handy for lost of places and the bus stops are just a short walk away. Quite a busy site so if staying long I suggest a notice left on "your" pitch. We have an old police no parking cone which worked well.. The weather in Feb was bitterly cold so the taps, fresh and toilet drop, were frozen but fresh thawed out by evening. Full electric hook up, van and 3 for £9 a night, can't go wrong. We'll be back.

What a lovely CL

I hate to tell everyone about this site because it should be kept a secret. It is a fabulous place. It is a basic CL with water and electric and and grey and black water points, what else do you need. It is such a lovely little site and situated close to Bradford on Avon and Westbury and in a pretty little village with at least two pubs within easy walking. The dogs loved the walks through the fields beside the river and it,s just such a lovely place to spend a tranquil weekend away from it all.

Lovely site no problems with entrance

We have just returned after spending two nights on this lovely site. We have a 7m motorhome and had no problems with the entrance. We followed the directions in the handbook and came from the A36 through Woolverton. The site is very pretty and quiet, with the usual noises you'd expect in the countryside. Don't rely on the cockerel to wake you in the morning, he's a late sleeper!! Lots of good walking and a very relaxing place to stay. Lovely owners, very welcoming. We can see why people keep coming back, we shall certainly visit again when we are in the area.

Nice location

Slightly tricky entrance, sloping driveway with some overhanging foliage but ok if you took it carefully. Choice of hardstanding or grass pitches but hardstandings a bit short and some sloping (chocks required). Very friendly free range chickens, one visited every day! Good for visiting lots of local attractions.
