Booked a last minute stay on this site as it appeared to have everything we wanted. Fortunately read the reviews before we left, so we were aware of the site entrance coming in from the road, which is easy to miss. No one to greet us, but we managed to find our pitch from the information board. We had pitch one, which seemed perfect, however, we had to search for the EHU point, which was down a dip away from pitch. This has been fitted with a meter, a reading of which we had to take on arrival. It is very difficult to see, and also to understand exactly what the reading is! The water supply was on one side and the drain on the other side, obviously this has been a problem previously, testified by the extensive length of waste pipe under a tree for use if needed. It became apparent quite soon that this wasn't going to be a tranquil stay, the road noise was very intrusive, day & night, and the 07.00am motor cyclist, who started his commute from about 3 miles away, was very audible, sounded like a jet fighter coming past. This is not a good site if you like walking or cycling, (as we do). The only option appeared to be the main road, which is extremely busy and not very wide. This is a lovely kept site, if you can put up with the above, sad to say we probably won't return.
Response from the Club:
Thank you for your review. The CL owners have been in touch as they would like to address your concerns. Access to the site is visible from the road but you do need to follow the directions given.
At the time of your stay, as caravanners themselves, the CL owners were on a caravan holiday. Whilst they were away, they left the site in the capable hands of their daughter, Sally, who always makes sure to visit everyone at some point during their stay. Please note that as it is a a CL site it is unlike a commercial site, therefore not manned continually. They endeavour to make things as clear and easy as possible for their guests, by writing guests names on a board and asking them to read the meter to make sure it matches their reading. The meter box is clearly visible from Pitch One.
It is not through any problems that the water/waste are on opposite sides of the pitch, but purely at the choice of the owners, hence the extra length of waste pipe provided.
It is quite a busy road but please be assured this is not constant and only at certain times of the day.
There is a walk from the site through fields/woodland/country lanes which also applies to cycling.
We hope this helps address your concerns and we are glad you found the site to be lovely and well kept.
