We stayed mid May at short notice, for a conference in Southend, and were worried by a previous negative review, a booking and review which it turned out the owner had no knowledge of, she had been away on the dates mentioned apparently. Could not have been more helpful for us, placed reserved sign on the hardstanding pitch as we have a large motorhome and had asked for that spot. Facilities not new but all working and clean, based at a busy stable yard business so lots going on near loos etc. but pitches were far enough away from the yard for complete tranquility. We will visit again if we are in the area.
