Gonna be great!

Our first time here, just 2 nights, but we know the area really well so it's great to finally have a site in this location! Very much a work in progress, but it is remarkable how much the owners have achieved in a short time - since the Spring. Very peaceful, excellent for birds; the walk to Castle Water gave us an hour in the hide watching the nesting Cormorants. Woken up by Reed Warblers in the morning, kept awake by Marsh frogs in the middle of the night - superb. The owners are lovely & great hosts and are working hard on site all day. At present the 3 hard standing pitches & 2 grass pitches are rather huddled in 1 corner of a huge field & hence too close together; I had to endure a lady talking to her mum on the phone for 45 minutes - not her fault, she was inside her motorhome, but with windows open this is what happens when units are close; it isn't why we use CLs. The owners plan to extend both the hard standing & grass pitches round the field in future. Trish explained that they also want to create some access points to the river so fishing will be possible. Perhaps a bit too manicured for a wildlife friendly CL? I understand keeping the grass short around the pitches, but not across the entire field - there were many Swallows flying over the grass looking in vain for insects; with longer grass there would be many more insects including butterflies, and more birds. Just wow some paths through it for dog walking? A lot less work! Maybe offer non - serviced grass pitches as an option in the future? Excellent for cycling & walking, & the nearby fish shop is super - we had fresh dressed local crab! Great work so far - we'll be back!
