Perfect location to introduce our nervous rescue dog to caravanning - a real gem of a site!

After taking in a very nervous and unpredictable rescue dog in November 2021, we were beginning to wonder if we'd ever be able to take her away caravanning with us, and kennels were not an option. We thought we'd go for a test run near to home and found the Totteridge Farm site using the "Adults Only" and "Dog Friendly" search criteria. The site can only be booked directly through contacting Caroline Wells who could not have been more helpful and understanding to our situation and offered us sole use of a field with power and water that sounded perfect for what we wanted. It was a short journey from home to the site and the directions to the pitch were spot on. We found the ""What Three Words" app to be particularly useful in helping to navigate to the site as using the postcode was not recommended. We met Caroline as we arrived and were welcomed and pointed to our pitch hook-up and water point in the corner of a recently mown field on a beautiful sunny afternoon. Power and water were the only facilities that we needed on the site and we were pleasantly surprised to find out we also had excellent mobile phone reception at the site which was useful for a trialling remote working whilst we were there. The field was ideal for us and our dogs with plenty of space to play on a long lead without distractions and our rescue soon settled down and realised that the caravan and awning were going to be her new temporary home. It wasn't long before she started to relax and enjoy the adventure. We stayed 2 nights and focused mainly on the dogs but did manage to get some walks in around the local area and to the local pub. We were made to feel hugely welcome by Caroline and Muttley and we felt more like house-guests than paying caravanners during our stay. An extremely peaceful and well-kept site that was a perfect location to conduct a trial run with our dogs. It was a success and we are now looking forward to going further afield in due course. However, we both decided that Totteridge is a site we'll definitely be going back to.
