So much potential
We booked this site as it was in an area we love, however after some concerns with the recent weather I contacted the owner to ensure the field was fit for purpose as we did not want the caravan to get muddy and spoil the weekend.
We were reassured that the field was in good condition and has held up well even with all the poor weather, with this I did re-read the previous review from 2017 and thought why not go for it and give it a go.
The entrance to the site and 50 yard drive to where the CL field is does leave a lot to be desired but having talked to the new owners they do have some really good plans and I hope they make the changes as this site has a lot of really good potential.
The CL field itself is fairly flat and is split into 2 sections (we would recommend driving past the first section and use the back of the field as this does seem to be the sun trap. There is a lovely little stream running down the back of the CL.
When I arrived Jim had already mowed the lawns and was busy ensuring he was removing as much mown grass as possible as he did not want it to spoil peoples visit by uncut grass all over the pitches.
This site is definitely ideally situated for people who want to visit Bournemouth, Wareham, New Forrest (20 minute drive) and slightly further affeild Southampton, Dorchester, Weymouth and Salisbury (all within and hours drive)
Positives
Quiet and very peaceful
Nicely Kept fields
Friendly owners (Jim could not have done anymore for us
Negatives
Entrance to the CL needs a lot of hard work doing as it is an eye sore and will put people off
Signage definitely needs improving (this is in hand)
Remove the tractors and put in gates
As the owners do not live onsite think about electronic bank transfers for payments
Slightly a higher price currently than could be justified
I would definitely recommend the CL and if all the changes that have been discussed are implemented and the price does not rocket and is kept to the £15 per night fee.
