Good Location For Visting Cotswolds
There has been quite a bit of work carried out since our visit last year. On check in the warden was so enthusiastic about the changes. Throughout our stay we found all the wardens very helpful and hard working.
With the new hard standing gravel there was no problem in pegging out the awning. They are in the process of renewing the steps to the upper levels.
Despite these improvements there are signs that investment is needed in refurbishing the toilets and showers. As an example in one of the gents showers a tile at the base is shattered which was clearly letting water in behind it. Also the plastic tile trim is broken in the shower basin which could easy cut a persons foot. This has to be balanced with the fact that the toilets and showers are kept very clean by the wardens.
The site has a silver WiFi rating, but the WiFi on site was beyond terrible. Trying to log in was a nightmare when eventually the device would pick up the WiFi signal it would not log in. When I eventually managed to log in it kept constantly dropping the signal this was at all times of the day, evening and night so it was not due to excessive usage by others.
For phone signals we managed just to get a 3G signal with Three. However with EE at times we couldn't get a good enough signal to make a phone call. I have contacted the Club and suggested that they install 3G and 4G mobile phone boosters at this and other sites - the cost of this is minimal.
The very small dog exercise area is looking more like a rubbish dumping area. A lot of rubble has been put on the ground it looks very uncared for. If you want a reasonable dog walk turn left outside the main entrance, go under the bridge (take care as no pavement), then turn left along the footpath. Continue along the footpath till you reach a road (Childswickham Road) then turn left and after a few yards cross the road onto the continuation of the footpath. This will take you to the village of Childswickham with a nice pub (but they are extending it so building work in the beer garden in progress). It's easy to cut this short and walk through a Leedons Residential and Holiday Park and return back to the site on the road.
Broadway Village is lovely and a walk up to Broadway Tower (and it cafe) is well worth the effort.
This used to be a very quiet site but we have noticed an increase in traffic noise, motor cycles, on at the rear of the site from Childswickham Road.
We may return but will be using this as a one/two night stop over site.
