Silverhay farm cl review
September 2019
This is a great CL with a friendly, personal welcome from its lovely owners, but at present the approach via the owners workshop yard (resembling a car breakers yard), just visible on street view, will put a lot of tourers off.
If you can get over this, once inside the CL the workshop yard is hidden. The pasture is a bit lumpy and bumpy, the grass a little long, but it's a nice spacious CL in a good position for touring and cycling the area, really quiet and with a nice open but well sheltered aspect. There is a fresh water tap at the top of the field, and a good, flushing CDP with a water rinse tap and hose at the lower end. Overall a level field, but as stated before, there are lumps and bumps. Rubbish, glass and recycling bins are by the new entrance gates. There is now good strong and free Wi-fi provided, a great boon to us. Radio, 3G and phone signals are good. As mentioned elsewhere, a second electrical cable would allow you to pitch anywhere. The area is very hilly, but for cycling there are lots of small, quiet lanes right from the door. Nearby are Lyme Regis and Bridport, and many stately homes and gardens. Mr Hedditch keeps a close eye on the site,and has improved it by screening the workshop yard and adding two hand crafted benches to the CL. He tells me he is currently planning to put in a new entrance avoiding his workshop, and put hardstanding under the cold tap, which would be brilliant.
We loved our stay, and think this a lovely CL and great value, and in a good area. We hope to return soon.
