Close to Bath

Compact site with EHU and fresh water on each pitch and each pitch has a hardstanding of paving slabs to the width of a caravan. Helpful owners who run an on site farm shop with fresh duck eggs! The site is close to Bath and you can walk in via the river path.

Excellent for Bath and Bristol

We were looking for a site close to Bristol and as I have never been to Bath we decided on Bicknam. It was so nice to find a site that doesn't charge extra for a third adult, awning and our car that we always travel with the motorhome. Very annoying when people have a car with a caravan but don't get charged it is one of my pet hates. So we arrived on the Friday afternoon to a lovely welcome and a massive welcome pack/leaflet's. Everything was explained from elsan point to the recycling ( never seen such a comprehensive area each box labelled plus food box and dog poo). Friday evening we followed the directions to the boat house pub where we thought we would have dinner, unfortunately due to COVID they were two chefs down and were not excepting walk ins for food so we had a few drinks and went to plan b an Indian from masala in Weston who delivered to the camp site definitely recommend. Saturday we walked along the river into Bath and would recommend getting the bus back especially if ladened down with beer purchased!. Sunday we spent the day in Bristol another superb day eating in turtle bay and a visit to the quayside. Had a fabulous stay and we will definitely return in the summer hope we can get in! Just be careful if you have an older motorhome and take it into bath ( we don't and didn't ) due to the clean air charge which Merv did tell us about when booking. Don't forget to have a look at the farm shop we had potatoes and eggs which were lovely.

Jiffy motorhome

Recently returned from our summer holidays where we stayed on this delightful site. Fabulous welcome from the owners with a brilliant bumper pack filled with local knowledge, maps, bus timetables etc. Excellently situated just along the road from Bath city centre. So much to see and do. We will definitely return.

Great CL for visiting Bath

The owners are very friendly and keen to please; check-in is well organised. It's not a very big site with hard standing and grass, but quite pleasant nonetheless. There is EHU and water on each pitch and the greywater waste is down one end - you'll need a flexi pipe since there's no drive-over grid - we didn't bother for our 3d stay. It's a very pleasant 2 miles walk down into town (we got a taxi back up!), or the river Avon is 5 mins walk away and that has a cycle path all the way into Bath. This is our second stay here and will certainly stay again next time we'll visit Bath. Van Blanc

Excellent

No problem booking in was greeted by Merv who showed us where everything was and have us a really good arrival pack.As we arrived at school closing was a bit difficult in getting into site so next time will avoid arriving between 1500 and 1600 .Bus stop is a 5 minute walk from site if you catch the number 19 which runs every hour into the centre of Bath .Site is small and quite ideal for couples not much for children to do.

Lovely CL site very close to Bath & cycle routes

We had a warm welcome from Merv & Lynn with a fantastic large welcome pack of leaflets. They have a great farm shop with fresh vegetables and eggs too. We spent 4 nights here end July 2020. Lovely well maintained neat site with water and electric on the pitches. Not a big site but no problem for our 23ft MH, but there is a slight slope on entering gates. Waste water located at end of site has limited access for a MH as wash pipe directly adjacent to the drain. Easy access to Bath by bus or medium walk. Nice short walk into local village. Lovely walk over Cotswold way very close to site. We also used the local cycle routes to Bath and Bristol and the famous 2 tunnels. Well worth a visit.

Convenient location for Bath tourism

Spent 3 nights in January 2020. It lost 1 star for not charging what is advertised The entrance for the site is up a hill in a layby where cars park, so is quite narrow. The site itself has a single access path to the pitches and no way of turning around. There is no drive over waste disposal as described. The CDP is up a steep slope near the owners bungalow. The pitches do each have an electric point and a water tap. Though are quite closely spaced.It is next to a secondary school so there is some noise during the day. We received a warm welcome from the owner and a very large welcome pack of brochures. The site itself is quite tight and the hardstanding just wide enough for a motorhome. The pitches are flat but not level, a single set of levellers might not be adequate .There were a number of other motorhomes that looked as if they were long term residents. The site is 2 miles from Bath and close to some bus stops so great for walking in. Driving out from the site proved problematic as we had to reverse out and overgrown bushes on the side scraped our van. The site is in need of some tlc.

Informative visit to region for Bath & Bristol sites

We had the pleasure of a 4 night stay at this CL outside of Bath and found it an excellent base which to discover Bath and Bristol. The information pack handed over by Merv (owner) on our arrival which included a chat about what there was on offer at the site and beyond. The site was very well laid out with bins to segregate the rubbish and our own power and water stand at the pitch was very helpful indeed. Should anyone require to carry out visits to Bath and Bristol which we made use of the buses as our Motorhome was to have difficulty finding suitable parking we would recommend this site. If you have a hectic time in Bath or Bristol it is such a nice quiet site to then come back to relax. Great base for cycling or walking as well as easiness of buses. 10 out of 10 for the reception of the owners who show a vested interest in visitors to the site.

A great location within walking distance of Bath city

We stayed for three nights on this CL, just a couple of miles from the centre of Bath. The owners provided lots of information after I booked and, on arrival, gave us a huge bundle of pamphlets and maps for the city and local area. They were very welcoming and it was good to be shown where everything was to make our stay easier. The pitches are hardstanding with own electricity and water supply, with a large grass area alongside; we had great weather so made the most of this. The CL is close to a school and road, so some noise during the day, but very quiet at night - we heard owls and the peacocks on the site! It's a short 10 minute walk to the Park and Ride - £6 return for two adults into Bath. We also walked back from the City on one evening. For a base to explore Bath it's a great location. We made the most of visiting museums, eating out and spent a lovely afternoon in the Thermal Spa - highly recommended! With very friendly owners and good location, this CL is definitely worth considering.
