Perfection
Can't recommend this site more highly. What a flat field - took us only 20 minutes to set up - no levelling necessary. So nice to be met at the gate by Andy and then Nicky stopped by later. Very helpful leaflet provided of local spots and we tried the George Hotel for our first evening meal and it was exceptional - what a fabulous building full of great interior design ideas and almost an art gallery, all the way through the delightful restaurant.
Nicky has been the most responsive owner that we've ever come across - both with emails and our telephone call for help with the gate lock. As others have said, the field is so large and the EHU points are well spaced out so you have a huge pitch to yourself and can position your van any which way you like - no straight lines here!
The local area has a great deal to offer - Dorchester is delightful - we would have spent longer in the Abbey but a wedding was about to start. The Snug Cafe and Farm shop is going to be a great breakfast stop when it's fully established - little bit of a building site at the moment - although the alpaca walking that they do at the farm is bound to be popular.
Can highly recommend the Waterfront at Benson as an ideal spot to view the Thames and boats with excellent food and drink. Days Lock is also worth a visit as well as the Earth Trust and the Wittenham Clumps. For anyone with a sense of adventure and young folk - the Wet and Wild attraction just down the road from the site looks terrific fun and the sailing lake and fishing lakes make for some lovely local scenery.
Thank you so much Nicky and Andy - great hosts - much appreciated.
