Disappointing

It was easy to book on the website and we received an email confirmation with good information. We arrived on Friday late afternoon for a two night stay. On arrival we followed the signs and selected an available pitch as instructed in the email. We expected the owner to come and greet us, we didn’t see him all weekend and ended up trying to call him to pay before we left. He didn’t reply so we left the money with the farm house, not sure that is anything to do with the CL now. We have a motorhome with services on the drivers. In order to use the waste we couldn’t follow the suggested caravan awning layout. I would suggest that this CL is really designed for caravans, as if you couldn’t access the waste hole there isn’t a drive over grey water dump. Toilets are portacabin style, and the shower requires £1 coin, considering the CL is £20 I wouldn’t expect to pay for a shower. We have stayed in much better CLs for a lot less and with better facilities. I’m afraid we’ve marked this down as didn’t feel welcome, and if we had of had any issues the owner wasn’t contactable. The nearest pub The Red Lion doesn’t take dogs. We had a good meal in The Swettenham Arms.

We are regular delighted users of this site for three years or more. Everything about it is excellent in our view and it's not correct to say there is a charge to use the showers. There is a coin box in one of them but it's been disabled. We can't speak highly enough of the site and the helpful, charming owner Nick. We store our caravan at the farm as well as regularly using the site and facilities. We saw the development from a busy working farm to the first class site it is today. We saw hard work to develop it by Nick while still running the farm. On a CL, the farmer can't always be around and if Nick isn't which is unusual, it's easy to pay by posting the sum due into the postbox outside his office/ static caravan. So pleased to see Nick's success in the 2017 CL awards. In our view, it should be the top spot this year. We've chatted to him many times but he's so modest that he didn't even tell us of his award.

Thank you for your comments PatnMart. In response to the original review, the showers are free and have been since 1st of Jan '17. The toilets are all mains connected and are not Portaloos. I have had many motorhomes visit and have never heard of any issues regarding waste disposal. If there were, I would have addressed them. I'm always open to constructive comments to improve my site. I apologise for having missed you Thomj, I believe it is an important part of running a caravan site to welcome my visitors but unfortunately I appear to have missed you on this occasion. If I'm not around, I'm always contactable on my mobile. Nick
