Mr Amazing!!

Firstly I would like to thank Mr Michael Payne ( Owner) for saving our planned 7 week Trip to Spain. We arrived late on 18/3/24 after a horrible drive in our Motorhome from North Northumberland. After closures and detours from the A1 and 8 hours later in darkness we arrived at Severals Farm. A few miles short of the Site we misjudged a Low Rail Bridge and Totalled the Heki Skylight that exploded into the Kitchen Skylight!! I can’t start to explain how awful this situation was! We limped into the Site and managed to set up and prayed it didn’t rain. Michael spoke to us and assured us that he would look at it in the morning light as he new a company locally. Mr Payne patched up the Skylights with Perspex Panels and a large amount of Gorilla Tape making it sealed so we could continue on our travels. On our trip I managed to add more Tape and Sealer ensuring we stayed leak free! Moho now repaired and looking good again after Insurance Job! We even still arrived at Le Shuttle on time and enjoyed a memorable Holiday. Michael you are the best and thanks again for your support and kindness. Yours sincerely. Pete and Sara.

One of the best CLs out there.

We have stayed at Severals 3 times now, each time we have loved it. The CL area is a decent size, with 5 pitches suitably spaced apart. The scenery is stunning, and it is so peaceful. When you consider its proximity to the M11 and Stansted Airport this is an extremely quiet location. We only live about an hour away, in SW Essex, but we stay at Severals for a bit of a refresh every now and then. On the fields you will see, Hares, Deer, Red Kites, small birds in the hedges etc. The facilities are very good, each pitch has its own water supply and electric hook up. Michael is the perfect host who is very welcoming and knowledgeable of the area. Both the Axe and Compasses in Arkesden and the Ananta Thai at the Coach and Horses in Wicken Bonhunt are worth a visit. For days out in the area, a good start is nearby Saffron Walden, a lovely historic Essex town, and then there's Audley End, a Jacobean Stately Home, built with the intent of rivalling Hampton Court Palace, but since then has been scaled back. I'm sure we will be back for more.

Perfect CL

Having booked Severals CL for the August Bank Holiday weekend, we ended up staying a further two days because we just loved it there! So relaxed. The location is stunning, local places to visit, the welcome was warm, the site spacious, the rural location peaceful and all within a 15 minute walk of the newly refurbished pub! Facilities basic but available if you need them and remember you are staying on a CL not a club site so were all extras as far as we were concerned!! Agree that WiFi to the pitches would be nice but not crucial. Cannot recommend this CL enough, perfect!

So peaceful

Lovely location and very clean facilities. Staying for two nights but could easily stay longer and just chill out. We do geocaching and lots in the area to walk too. The village is beautiful with lots of thatch cottages and unusually marked cob walks. Pub, although looks great, is shut as serious fire earlier in the year. On course to open October. Micheal responds very quickly and sent us useful information by email. Definitely recommend this site.

Just what I expect from a CL

We chose this site as we were going to a concert at Audley End. We stayed for 3 nights. It’s a great location for walking, cycling and local attractions. Audley end house (English Heritage) is c3 miles away and well worth a visit. Saffron Waldon is a lovely market town and the Pizzas at Audley end station are excellent. The local pub was closed for rebuilding but is due to reopen shortly. We will definitely be back for another visit.

One night stay to break up journey

This was a convenient location for us to stop on our journey north. The owner came to say hello and was very friendly. The facilities (toilet, kitchen, black waste) were basic. I don’t mind basic if the price reflects the facilities but for £25 we have stayed at locations with much more for our pennies!

Lovely site for dry conditions

Considering how close the site is to the M11 and Stansted Airport, it's incredibly quiet with just a bit of aircraft noise in the evening. Each pitch has EHU and water tap, with grey waste going straight into the hedge. The only problem we had was the mud. We visited at the end of March, when the area had seen quite a lot of rain. Pitches are hardstanding, but access from the drive is across sloping grass. The owner has put some mesh under the grass with small white markers to show where the edges are, but our 2 wheel drive car struggled even after we'd unhooked the van. Thankfully Michael and his 4x4 were on hand to get us pitched. Being on the Essex/Cambridgeshire/Hertfordshire borders, there is plenty to do in the area & we found some lovely footpaths to walk. Highly recommend the Thai food at Ananta (former Coach & Horses pub) in the next village. We would be happy to return, but only after a sustained spell of dry weather!

Cycling, Geocaching, Peace and Quiet.

I stayed for 5 nights at this very peaceful CL during August 2021 in a large 8.5 metre motorhome. Access to the site is nice and easy up a lovely tree lined drive with an electric gate at the top for added security. When I arrived there was only one other unit on site (coincidentally I knew the couple!). I chose pitch 1 which was wide enough and long enough for my motorhome and very level. Not sure I would want to be on either pitches 4 or 5 as they are quite a bit smaller and on a slope. Nicely sheltered from the wind by the hedge, there is plenty of space either side of the pitches for tables, chairs, awnings etc. The site is clean and tidy with well cut grass. I received a warm welcome from the owner, Michael, who told me of some local eateries, walks and cycle routes. I cycled, (and geocached) for miles every day, through quiet country lanes and quaint villages. A very quiet site, no road noise, just the occasional plane going over, but I barely noticed them. I happily whiled away an hour or two, sat in the sun watching Kites and Buzzards soaring overhead and Partridges trotting through the site. I had a lovely evening meal at the nearby Axe and Compass pub (not dog friendly inside unfortunately) but plenty of outdoor seating, much of it covered, where dogs can probably go. I didn’t use any of the on-site facilities such as the kitchen or loo, so can’t comment on those, it’s a shame the wifi can’t be extended for use on the pitches and not just the kitchen area. At £20 per night, it is more than I would usually pay, and I would expect more facilities for that price (wifi at the pitches, shower/toilet block), but the location and tranquility was worth it for me. I would definitely revisit Severals CL and recommend it for a quite stay.

reiterate earlier reviews

just had a week there and was well chuffed. lovely drive up to the site,,,,but beware the cattle grid halfway up, i didn't see it for looking at the trees. quiet as you like except for 9 to 10 at night when planes seem to aim for the site overhead...but only then. strange, but it was no matter, i would heartily recommend this site.

Peaceful autumn stay

We stayed for a long weekend at the end of October/early Nov. In common with many older folk we are staying on CLs rather late in the year using our Covid secure accommodation. The hard standings are fully serviced and the larger ones particulalry useful for keeping footwear clean. The site is on a bit of a slope and was somewhat chewed up by people staying late in the season like us! But the hard standings themselves are nice and level The owner Michael was very welcoming and is intending to lay some matting to aid access to the hard standings. He was very helpful when we needed to be flexible over departure date. We did get a little disturbed by some Stansted (we assume) night flights but it wasn't a major problem. Toilets and wifi in the barn kitchen really useful too.
