We are new to caravanning on CL sites this being only our second in 5 years. We have been members of the caravan club for 10 years and having a teenage son we always booked the larger sites and more recently started booking serviced pitches when available This week we have discovered CLs and this one has been excellent. It is practically a serviced pitch with your own water supply and electric point. The waste water to be tipped into the hedgerow or if we had a long enough hose we could pipe it directly to the hedgerow. The owners were really helpful directing us to where we could walk our dog. They were busy because it is working farm but when they were able to they were happy to talk to you. Yes we could hear the cattle but what do you expect when you use a working farm and they weren't noisey all day just when milking took place. The toilet and shower room have had a fresh lick of paint and were clean and presentable whenever we used them. And all of this for a fantastic £12 per night. My husband and I are now more likely to be caravanning on our own now the son is 18 and we see this as the way to go. Thank you Alison and Peter for showing us how pleasant it is to use the Cl network. We are now converts !! Caravanners from Crosby near Liverpool, so it was only a short tow to a really lovely site .
We didn't see much of the owners as they had young cattle to tend to, but they were friendly enough when we arrived. The site was VERY muddy but soon dried out. (It wasn't very peaceful at the time we were there as many of the cattle were being kept in the sheds and there was a braying donkey in the next field! Probably the time of year?) My main concern is that the toilet cubicle is rather scruffy (full of cobwebs) and the paintwork much in need of refreshing. I don't think the hand-basin was cleaned at all during our stay. (Didn't use the shower as one in our caravan more than adequate). Having said this, it was great to have water/electric on each pitch and this is a good location for sightseeing. To be fair: Maybe we chose the wrong time of year to stay at a site on a working farm as others seem to have enjoyed their stays?
