Delightful stay
We stayed at Crossways for a week immediately after 'lockdown' ended and returned for three nights recently. The layout of the site is great - it's a wooded area and the pitches are arranged in 'clearings' so you never feel surrounded by lots of other vans and motorhomes. We were not far from the railway line and of course, on our first visit, didn't notice it at all because there were very few trains running at the time. It was slightly intrusive early in the morning and late at night when the train crossed the nearby level-crossing and sounded its warning signal! Not a huge problem.
The composting toilets are interesting and not perhaps to everyone's liking, but I have to say, they were scrupulously clean and there is absolutely no smell of any kind. But probably not ideal if you have young children. We have a good shower in our van and didn't make use of the facilities on site, so can't comment there.
The dog walk is very good, the area is beautiful and there are plenty of places to visit. It's an ideal location for walking, cycling and getting to the coast, and seeing the occasional deer grazing on site is a bonus.
Finally, we have to mention the wardens, Graham, Dawn and Chris. They are extremely efficient, friendly and helpful. We had an 'unfortunate incident' with our van just as we were leaving and they could not have been more helpful, practical and understanding. They were very kind, made us a hot drink and checked that all was ok before we departed, so a big thank you to them. I am sure we will return.
