Cold, snowy January visit

We have stayed here before so knew what to expect for this site and we weren't disappointed. It's tranquil in the extreme. You can hear the owls at night, and the birds in the morning - and that's about all. The site warden on arrival was friendly, helpful and informative, check in was quick and efficient. We stayed for one night during which it snowed and temperatures dropped to -2. We therefore didn't venture to the shower blocks, preferring to stay in the warmth of our caravan and use our own facilities instead. We therefore can't comment on the cleanliness of the shower/toilet block but there's every reason to expect them to be impeccable as per our last visit. The wifi was on the blink and we were recommended not to bother paying for it because it's so flaky. Thank you for the warning warden! It's in the CC's gift to get this sorted - it can be done. There's absolutely NO mobile signal (this is not in the CC's gift!) While it's great to be out of reach it can be a bit challenging if you didn't expect to be totally 100% off line - so be warned. We asked if we could check out a couple of hours late to allow us to walk to the National Trust tea rooms and back, and with plenty of spare pitches available for newcomers, the warden was really flexible and allowed us to do this. Thank you again Warden! As an aside, the National Trust tea rooms in Clumber are in a fabulous location but should be avoided. The cappuccino might have been bean to cup but it was machine made and absolutely awful. Bacon and sausages were slapped into a bread bun and sold as sandwiches with not even a napkin on the plate. It was more lke eating in a transport café than a National Trust tearooms, except for the prices! You certainly won't be disappointed with the CC site - I wish I could say the same for the NT! We'll be visiting Clumber again soon, testimony to how lovely the site is in isolation of the National Trust park in which it's situated.
