We drove to the site in torrents of rain, and when we arrived we were releived to find the ground was drying out and was firm , with short grass. We were met on arrival with a warm welcome from Mrs Norman who gave us a lot of information about the site and surrounding area. The toilet and shower facilities were very good and always kept clean. The site is very convenient to vist Dorchester and other towns in the area, and we found we could leave the car behind and get buses to where we wanted to go, bus stop a couple of hundred yards down the road, Of great interest was the iron age fort, Maiden Castle which virtually overlooks the site. We really enjoyed our 8 night stay , despite some not pleasant weather. We hope to return to The Manor House CL in the near future. Dorset has a lot to offer and this site is a tranquil and peaceful base to enjoy the county.
