Home from home

Once again we travelled to Bristol from Lincolnshire to visit our children. Peter and Jenny gave us a very warm welcome as usual and the offer of a hot drink. Not only did we enjoy our stay our 2 dogs had a smashing time playing with Bertie. We enjoy the friendly easy tranquil atmosphere and we will keep returning. Thank you Jenny and Peter . See you again soon.

bit disappointed

We chose this site to visit our son in Bristol. The approach is quite narrow at times and, in fact, we did damage our caravan on overhanging bushes on the road on the way back. (Not Jenny and Peter's). The welcome was excellent and when we made a suggestion about the water Peter rectified it instantly and Jenny brought us a spare water barrel across. The only down side is the motorway noise (which she did apologize for).

Welcome break

We had such an enjoyable experience and friendly welcome the last time we stayed we just had to come back again. We will definitely be coming back again next year to see Jenny Peter and Bertie. We have had three very enjoyable stays at Green Gables this year and fully intend to continue using this site. Thank you for all your kindness

Handy for Bristol

A nice site with plenty of space. Very friendly and helpful owners. Easy to find using site instructions down country lanes, which can be narrow in places. Not to far out of Bristol. We found that the noise from the motorway was intrusive

A HARD PITCH TO FAULT

We stayed mid March after a prolonged wet spell .It was our first visit .We had been concerned about the ground conditions ,as we have a 4.5 tonne motorhome .The entrance gate is well designed, such that we were not on the road whilst we entered the code for the gate lock .The water tap is just inside the firm gateway if you need water .We followed the instructions we had previously been given ,as to where to pitch.The pitch itself was concrete ,but accessed via a gravel /grass area .This should not be a problem to experienced drivers ,even in wet conditions.We were shown the location of all facilities on arrival ,but all were fairly easy to find,and labled.The motorway is visible in the distance ,but the noise was no more than a dull hum (we live in the countryside ).The price is a little high but given its proximity to Bristol & the M4 ,probably justified .We tried the local Chinese take away , who deliver to pitch .The food was excellent (we are hard to please ). Jenny & Peter ,our hosts , were helpful & friendly .We shall look forward to a return visit .

perfect hosts!!

We have stayed here on and off since Dec/Jan 2013/14. Yes the field is a bit muddy but lets be fair the weather has been exceptional!! Once you are on your pitch the ground is fine. Ourpuppy has been made most welcome and Jenny and Peter are amazing(not forgetting Bertie the dog!!) They cannot do enough to help you in anyway possible.Peter can always tow you out if you get stuck!1 We changed our motorhome whilst we were here and they really couldn't have been more helpful. There are plenty of shops local but yes a car ride away and a couple of pubs doing food within walking distance. Jenny has a menu and tel no of a local Chinese that will deliver to the site. The fees are in common with most cl sites. Motorway access is easy for both M5/M4 so great for stop overs if you are travelling. There is ehu and water plus refuge with recycling facilities and chemical waste disposal. We will return without doubt,if nothing else,due to the friendliness and enthusiasm of our hosts Jenny and Peter. Well done to you both and good luck in your venture.

A bit muddy!!

We did ask before our visit (before Christmas 2013 for a shopping trip) if it would be suitable for a motorhome and were assured that there was a hardstanding pitch. Phew!! What they failed to mention was that you have to drive across the pitch to get to the hardstanding! The owner was very friendly and helpful, but it wasn't really the evening we had envisaged skidding about in the mud and rain trying to get to the water point. Eventually spent the night next to the tap in stuck position. A bit more skidding and wheel spinning in the morning to get out. A tow was offered, but not needed in end. So owners very friendly and site fine - but would not visit again if chance of mud and rain as not suitable parking a motorhome in the wet.

non visit

we booked this site for the days after Christmas. The plan was to visit down south the a drop off into Bristol to catch up with the rest of the family. The booking was made with Jenny who was very helpful. Because of the dad weather we had an unpleasant time over Christmas. So we decided not to drop off into Bristol, cut our looses and get home in one piece. We contacted Jenny was great about it. They said they would have help and really offered to put themselves put. So I would recommend this site for the help that was offered. We are looking at visiting in the summer.

Would come again

After reading the review about being towed in due to the mud at the entrance and the amount of rain in the run up to our arrival, just before New Year 2014, we were a little concerned about the suitability of this site for our motorhome. However we needn't have worried - there was a little surface mud in the entrance but the area we were advised to pitch on was very hard under the grass and we got safely in and out without the need for a tow. Peter and Jenny (and their dog) are very friendly and helpful (not so much the dog!). We had some nice (if rather wet and muddy) walks in the area.
