Great CL But !!!
This is an absolutely lovely CL and just what CL,s are all about Anna couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly and you definitely need to follow her advice about navigation especially with a caravan. And here’s the But!!! It’s very small lanes for an 8ft caravan and vw van tow vehicle especially when you meet a Bus coming the other direction. Along with a load of abuse from a local in a car behind the Bus. Fortunately we could just about reverse into a side road. I personally think sites should be vetted by the club for what vehicles they are appropriate for and this CL is more suited to smaller none towing vehicles in my opinion. Also knowing this is on a bus route would have been very helpful. This is no way detracting from how nice this CL is but this was a very stressful experience leaving that I wouldn’t want anyone else to have to experience.
Comment from the Club:
Thank you for your review and for highlighting how lovely this CL is, as well as the helpfulness of Anna. We greatly appreciate your feedback and would like to address some of the concerns you raised.
The CL Owners have been operating this CL for over 10 years and have not received previous complaints about access. They regularly navigate the recommended route with a similar-sized unit without issues. Cornwall is known for its narrow, winding lanes, which are part of its charm. The route they suggest is a regular school and public bus route and is also used by milk tankers delivering to the local cheese factory. With patience and careful driving, these routes are negotiable even with larger vehicles.
We understand that encountering a bus and receiving abuse from another driver was stressful, and we regret that your experience was tarnished by this.
Our sites are visited by CL Inspectors to check that they are suitable for towing large units competently.
We hope this clarifies any concerns and reassures future visitors of the manageability of the CL Site. They look forward to welcoming guests who wish to enjoy their beautiful and peaceful CL.
