First CL and we found a little gem
As per the title, our first CL experience and have to say, ticked all the boxes. Two parts, the CL and the new field, both have electric and water. The CL part has one permanent unit on it so it can look like there are 6 pitches and not 5 to those who can't be bothered to find out and rate accordingly.
We knew we were on the field, can accommodate 10 but for the now, only 5 are in use. We had pitch 1 and the view overlooking the filed is wonderful and we were very lucky to see a hare across from the back of site past us and onward to the field.
Rachel wasn't there when we arrived but we were met and sorted so nae bother on that front. When she arrived back, she come across and explained things that we needed to know.
Two toilets but the now means only one to be used at any time, sanitiser outside the block to use pre and post, recycling and chemical waste point. There is no shower so again, you can't be shown where it is - see a previous review, a shower is not listed in the facilities!
Short walk to the river and two walks circular walks from that point along the river and then inland, each passing the pub.
The pub, The Red Lion, has seating outside, 5 tables and a garden at the back of the car park which is not obvious. Plenty of tables inside, all socially distanced. Food good, fish & chips from me, chicken ceasar salad for my partner, one of the best she has had and generous amount of chicken. No grips at all with mine, light battered fish, my preference rather than crunchy.Price wise, food £20 for the two, drinks, £15 from 3 medium Pinots and two cans of Coke (driver).
Thatchers Gold on tap and some local ales plus all the usual spirits and wines. and all reasonably priced, All in all, a captive audience and it does it well, very pleasant staff, service and good quality plus they do take-aways if that is your thing.
Enjoyed our stay, very peaceful and relaxing and plan to return in September or possibly October or may be even both!
