A real revelation!
Having only stayed at club sites previously, I was somewhat trepidatious about staying at a CL for the first time, but I fell in love with this one almost instantly. I was immediately put at ease by Adrian on my arrival, and thrilled by the panoramic view available from the pitches.
I've lived and worked in the surrounding areas for nearly three decades, but was oblivious to this brilliant area for walking being on my doorstep the whole time. There are public footpaths aplenty, with one that leads to several others accessible from the site.
I have family and friends who live 6 miles away in Nottingham, and my mind is quite made up that I cannot do better than basing myself here whenever I visit them. The easy access to major transport routes is another plus point.
I recognise my circumstances are somewhat unusual, and not everyone has the facilities to cope with the absence of a toilet/shower block. Also, I'm travelling solo, which probably also makes compromise easier. That said, I honestly feel like the pros to staying here (scenery, tranquility, excellent free wi-fi, walks, etc.) massively outweigh the cons. And the comings and goings of the horsey folk associated with the adjoining equestrian centre helped offset any sense of isolation I'd anticipated (wrongly as it happens) experiencing at a small CL.
Adrian was really helpful during my stay, replying to all of the enquiries I made in a timely fashion.
To be honest, I'm only sharing with you what an unexpected treat I found my stay here to be because I've already made multiple advance bookings to make sure I can return again soon!
