Family Half-term holiday

We’ve just returned from a lovely half-term holiday at Cholsey Grange. Each large pitch is wide enough for caravan, awning, and tow-car - and given that we have 4 school-aged children caravan, awning and tow car are not small! The fully serviced pitch also has a water, metered electric and grey waste disposal at each pitch. Slightly frustrating is the location of the CPD; a fair trek back towards the farmhouse and outside the window of one of the local business offices. However, a wheelbarrow is thoughtfully provided to assist the journey over the rough track otherwise I wouldn’t fancy wheeling the cassette all that way. Wheelbarrow located by the bins for rubbish and recycling. We took our portable solar panel to keep our electricity usage down and therefore kept well under our total 10 units a day allocation. There are also several garages that will allow you to fill your Safefill gas bottles within 20 minutes or so which we used - the one in Tiddington (almost opposite Oxford Caravans) is definitely to be recommended. What a great spot for the pitches too! Each pitch has spectacular views over the valley and onto the hillsides - sometimes the mist gathered in the valley providing wonderful beauty. Ted (the owner) also said to our children that they could play and explore the grounds - build dens in the forest area, play football in one of the flatter fields and generally roam the sight at will but respecting the abundant wildlife as well as the resident ducks, horses, chickens, owls, and even a peacock! Pheasants and Red Kites are a constant attraction. We all loved walking through the woods and exploring. Ted made us feel really welcome and even took us up to the barn to see if we could spot the baby owls in the owl box which has a camera set up in it! Our 4 children loved it so much they all want to return (with our eldest 2 boys aged 11 and 9, this is amazing as they are not easily pleased!) and our tv didn’t even get watched once as the kids were all so happy playing! If you have children this really is a site designed to make it relaxing and welcoming for the whole family. The location can suffer some road noise from the M40 if the wind direction isn’t favourable but, apart from the very bumpy road from J5 and through to Ibstone, the location is great being relatively close to the M40; easy reach of High Wycombe, Oxford, and several Nation Trust locations - our kids loved the yew maze and play area at Cliveden. Several supermarkets within about 15 minutes too and a few local shops in Stokenchurch. At £17 per night, with potentially more if excessive electric is used, it is at the top end of our budget but you do get WiFi, fully serviced hardstanding pitch, stunning views, security coded gates and an owner who takes real pride in his CL and will make every effort to make sure your stay is as enjoyable as possible. We will be back!
