We chose The Hawthornes as the place to be for our first ex lockdown trip of 2021 and have to say that the week just isn’t long enough The site is easily reached being just off the main road - there is a little traffic noise but nothing at all to concern as it’s only mainly at the usual rush hour times. A true and proper CL with plenty of space for the allowed 5 vans - the pitches are not marked so you can choose the spot you want (within reason) and position your unit in the orientation you like. You will need some levelling blocks if you have a longish unit as the site does slope away but it’s again nothing too bad - managed to level our 27’ van. The field is all grass and really well drained and it’s only a short wander to the water point which is situated away from grey and toilet disposal area Toilets were very clean and kept clean - there is plenty of hot water for hand washing and sanitiser for the surfaces you touch provided to keep everyone safe. There is even a choice of home made preserves for sale (excellent!) but we missed out on the coconut cake :( Plenty of room for dog exercise on the fields behind or walking around the area We liked it so much we have rebooked for our next stay. Paula and John keep the place just as it should be. Hope that the traction engine might be having an outing next time we are there!!
