Great for Some - Less so for Others

Quiet and secluded. Well cut grass and reasonably level. Great break if you want to cut yourself off from the world. Through the trees you have access to the canal, very nice walks with the occasional boat going by. There is a pot-holed, muddy (dusty if no rain) entrance track of about 300 yards, so go slowly. There is only a 10-amp electric supply which isn’t very reliable, it tends fluctuate for no reason and you could find your fridge off in the morning! This happens even more so when there are other caravans in the field draining the supply. Using an electrical kettle trips the supply even with no other electrics in the van being used. The owners prefer you to move spot after two weeks if you have an awning. The rates are higher for all weekends (Fri, Sat & Sun) and bank holidays. It would be worth familiarising your route with the Satellite maps and/or to phone ahead for the local route before arrival. If you make a mistake, there’s no turning round. You need to test your spot if you need mobile / internet. Most spots have neither. If you find a clearing between the trees you will pick up an 02 Mobile signal. We found the best place was beside the entrance. The internet at the same spot will however be very slow, but at least you’ll have one, and works with a 3G Dongle. There is no EE phone signal anywhere in the field. TV reception poor – picture breaking up even with a large aerial. The best signal is from the Mendip transmitter, but you will need a better aerial than the standard roof mounted caravan one.

Comment from The Club

Many thanks for your review.  The CL owners have been in touch as they want to address your concerns as they make every effort to ensure people have the best possible time at their site.  They are sorry to hear that you had some issues with the electricity supply tripping.  The amperage supply on their site is 16 amps and no one else has reported any issues.  Please refer to page 651 of the Sites Directory and Handbook for some useful information on Appliance Current Consumption in Amperes and our Technical Department will also be able to help further by calling  01342 336611.   Regarding the pricing structure many of our CLs charge a higher rate for weekend stays and this is clearly shown on the website and in the handbook.  I hope this helps to address some of your concerns and thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
