Nice weekend brake but with supprice of metered electricity
Arrival/ Welcome: prebooked weekend break, on arrivel at the site as directed left the unit and went to the farmhouse to collect security key, key was taped onto door with a printed instructions on how to pay for site and metered electricity. There was no contact with the owners of the site so had to find the facilities in the feild independently. Although not hard it could be an idea on the sheet that tells you how to pay for your stay to include where to find water and waste point (the waste point was more of a hidden spot in the corrner)
Stay: the site had free to access wifi that had good signal, the site was a very peaceful and had open views of the rolling country. The weather was not the best and the wind at time got very strong (shaking a twin axel van with all legs down) although the owners have no say in acts of god this may be something to remember ie it is an open field so open to the elements. The hookup available was on a pay as you depart meter although price was not to bad (2 nights in autumn with heating on cost £11.50) i feel this should have been informed prior to arrival as didnt budget for extra cost on top of the £11 pn with electrics as shown on the website. Ideally the pricing diagramme for the electric would be added to the images of the site as a heads up / be informed that the electric is on a meter on booking. I accept that there is merntions of this in other reviews but didnt spot myself before going so needs to be made clear as otherwise appears to be a hidden charge.
Exit: was delayed due to high winds and trying to break down, went past midday and had no contact with the site owners. the only observation i would make is to lock the post and return the key i had to block the road while walking back to the farm house due to the size of the unit and tow car, would there be any option to have a post box near the sites like the one for house mail for you to drop the keys into if paying by bank transfer (as we did) or have a area to pull into while returning the key.
this may seam a long review but wanted to give my full opinion key points are
- nice site
- peaceful and lovely views
- metered electricity
