5 Star Potential - Work in Progress

We stayed on this CL for 6 days in July 2023. For 5 days we were the only outfit on site. This CL has the potential to be 5 star but it is not there yet. Just my opinion. It is a business, Cranmer Country Cottages, it’s not like an owner loved CL. There is substantial investment. We are CL users, new CL’s offering what this site has on offer are very welcome. The CL is within the farm, not the owners home as stated in the marketing material. The web site states dog walks from site. There aren’t any. The site has lots going for it, it needs, in my view, more effort to make it reach its potential. The site schematic showing water points, pitch locations etc shows screening between pitches, there isn’t any. The staff member we texted answered that they did not know why it said that on the web site. The web site is misleading. The site is right in the top corner of the overhead photograph on the web site. I thought is was the area close to the house. We did not meet any staff or the owners, all done by email and text. To chat you are invited to walk to the office, 250 yards away, during office hours Monday to Friday. Efficient but not friendly. There is no access directly from the CL into the tennis courts. It’s a good walk along the road from the CL. The field is quite rough, tufty grass, quite a few high growing weeds, work in progress that needs attention. I needed to do some weeding and digging out a lump of building material before we pitched our awning, pitch 1. The web site states, ‘well maintained grass’, weeds, tufty grass, lots of bare patches, lots of rabbit droppings and rabbit holes. There is lots that’s good, big area, security gate although no pedestrian entrance, free Wi-Fi, serviced pitches, EHU not metered (although it states it is on the web site), peaceful (away from the road but some aircraft and wind turbine noise), and why a minimum of three day booking, efficiency? It is exactly what we search for, serviced pitch on a CL, at a great price with free wi-fi, lots of space and in a good location. Notes to self. Do not consider a CL if there is not a good photograph of the site showing the ground conditions. Do not choose a CL purely because it has serviced pitches. Overall Rating – Just a three from me. There are quite a few areas such as the ground and the provision of information that need attention.
