Superb CL - We will be back!
What can I say about this CL – it is superb. Becky and Paul are the most welcoming hosts and nothing, and I mean nothing, is too much trouble. The email exchanges with Becky beforehand were first class – please take note of her directions on her email as they are VERY important if you don’t want to end up down a very narrow road. Yes, access is narrow but it is literally a stones throw from the main road so not an issue if you follow her directions.
The site is immaculate. I have never seen such clean waste bins. Becky has a great recycling system in that she gives you a plastic box for cardboard and plastics, and a food bin which she will change whenever required. It is a great system which we will use ourselves going forward. We were very lucky to have her two gorgeous young grandsons, James and Billy, explain the recycling process to us – it really was a treat.
The site is lovely and quiet, there is slight road noise at times but nothing to worry about. You can park your unit however you want to as Becky and Paul are very laid back and happy for you to pitch as you prefer (as long as your wheels are on the plastic under the grass which is fine). The pitches are fully serviced which is great and the electric charge is not an issue. I think we spent an average of £1.84 per day so when the site fee is £16.00 a night its great value for money.
There is plenty of room on the site and it’s great for dogs. There was loads of room for our two labs to have a wander. There is not an actual dog walk, but you can wander down a quiet lane from the site to a fishing pond. There is free wifi on site and you are given the code on arrival. Again, most welcome.
Becky will happily supply you with details of what to do in the area – she is a mine of information! We particularly liked Gloucester Docks, especially for eating out at night. Gloucester itself didn’t really float our boat but with Ledbury, Tewkesbury and Cheltenham not too far away, we had plenty of places to visit. If you have a dog/s we found a lovely place on the river at Lower Lydbrook (about 30 minutes’ drive) but you can also stop off at Ross on Wye which is lovely.
All in all, we had a fab two weeks at Magnolia Pitches and would highly recommend it to anyone. It is adult only CL which is another bonus if you prefer peace and quiet!
Thank you, Becky, Paul, James and Billy, for making our holiday very special. We will be back!
