A real treat if peace is what you are looking for!
Having seen in on the club website that Hard Farm, Holt, Norfolk is new, we decided to book our first trip of the year to the site. We have not been disappointed! On arrival, the first person we saw was Mrs Harcourt (Angela) who was on the CL talking to the owners of a van already on site. She immediately made us feel at home and enquired as to how we had found our journey etc. We were able to tell her that due to the extremely clear instructions that she had supplied by email, we had had no problems whatsoever. We were then offered a cup of tea which is the first time that's happened in over 20years of caravanning - a really nice touch. While she went off to make the tea we chose our pitch which are all well spaced and maintained. On returning with that refreshing cup of tea, she handed us a well stocked folder full of information regarding the local attractions in the area. The site has 5 double EHU points, is flat and to grass which we happen to prefer. The site is on the edge of the village of Field Dalling, which is about 5 miles from Holt, although Holt is the postal address. It is a very peaceful site with birdsong being the main 'disturbance' This is definately farming country. The site is accessed via a long drive off a minor road and is the last property along the drive so a feeling of security is enhanced. It is obvious that the owners have put many hours into getting this CL up and running and it shows. The grass is well maintained and the scars of the EHUs instalation have almost disappeared. The site is planted with shrubs and bushes and in a couple of years time will no doubt be a really nice feature. The facilities of, Water, Chemical disposal and rubbish (with recycling) are all in a line at the rear of a holiday let which you have to drive past the front of then turn left up the side of before entering the site which also gives a feeling of 'safety'. Mrs Harcourt is keen on recycling 10 out of 10 there then! The village of Binham with it's old Priory is about an hour away by foot. It's a pleasant walk and is flat! The Priory is very interesting and was a victim of the disolution of the monasteries in the 1500's. However, a visit is highly recommended. A general store, which seems to sell just about everything you could possibly want, a quality butchers and the Village Pub which serves meals of various descriptions complete the picture. If you don't want to walk, it's 5 mins by car. We will definately return to this site in the future as North Norfolk is our favourite destination. Wildlife in abundance with rabbit, muntjack deer and many bird species seen during our relatively short stay. We wish Mr and Mrs Harcourt many years of success with their beautiful and peaceful CL.
