First time on a C&MC site

This was our first time on a C&MC site and was not disappointed. As a family of 4 (2 boys 9&12) there is plenty to do in and around the area including the Safari park which the site is in the grounds of. The park has a play ground for the kids also a indoor play area with table tennis and pooltable also the park is good for children with bikes. The site is spotless clean and the staff really helpful and make you feel welcome. I wasn't sure if the C&MC was for us but after visiting this site will definitely be renewing our membership for next year.

Great site for families and oldies

This is a really good site for families and oldies. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. They are very capable but not in the least bossy! The site is big but so well planned and managed that it does not feel crowded even when busy. We are active retired. We were looking for a quiet few days with books, boots and bikes. The weather was uncertain and it was the first week of the school holidays, so naturally there were young children enjoying themselves (dedicated play area) and riding around on little bikes. It was delightful and we stayed a week. The walks from the site are lovely. The only drive we took was to Frome, calling at the community pub the other side of the main road from the site, for really good food. Also walked to the "Royal Oak", which was fine for us, and to the "Horse and Groom" which was brilliant, with an amazing menu - don't miss it. Day out at the safari park was fun, using their bus to save our vehicle from the monkies! Big rigs will have to be patient on the narrow site approach roads, but we had no problem with our 7m motorhome. A great holiday!

Great Clean Site

I can't praise the site or wardens enough, they were friendly, left you to get on with it, no problem. As for the site itself, it's great if you want to go into Longleat by foot or car as the Safari entrance is literally round the corner and by foot, you're inside longleat park the moment you leave the caravan site. It's also great if you're not going to longleat, as you've got Frome a little town about 5 mins drive, there's also a missive asda which again is 5 mins away in the car. There's some great walks for yourself or walking dogs, plenty of green land to see and walk around. Not too far from the likes of Warminster, Bath and Devizes if you want to go there. Site once again is great. If i had to have a slight niggle at it, and believe me, it's very slight. The access to the site is a long narrow country road, not ideal if caravans are entering and exiting, my advise is not to arrive until after 1pm because if you arrive before noon, you'll need your excellent caravan reversing skills. Also there's some great eating pubs dotted around, Royal Oak is our favourite.

5 Star site but never again

This is a 5* site, well maintained, clean, relaxing with friendly and helpful staff. However, and there is always an however, the access road is a potential death trap. Turning from the main road onto Lane End, a narrow road. You travel some 100 yards and you have to turn left onto a very narrow lane,similar to a farm track that has had a tarmac surface put on it, the problem is that the left turn is a blind bend with high banks and hedges to the sides and it is at the top of an incline. We were returning from a trip to the local supermarket one afternoon and were just about a car's length from the turn when a very large 4x4 estate tractor came round the bend at speed and cutting the corner. The tractor missed us by no more than 3 feet, the tractor driver was of course wearing ear defenders so there was no way he could have known we were there. This was bad enough but immediately behind the tractor were three fully laden 56 seater coaches driving nose to tail at speed and they also cut the corner. Had we been some 5 seconds earlier there could have been a serious 5 vehicle accident with a potential for a casualty list of over 150 people. We left the site early on the Saturday morning, about 7.30, and even then there were estate staff driving along the road as if they were Lewis Hamilton and they were not pleased at having to slow down and give way. This is an excellent, quiet site, with helpful and friendly staff but for us the access road makes it a no no.

Last minute weekend away

We went to Longleat as last minute getaway, close to home. It is quite a big site but it does not feel like that when you are on it. The facilities are excellent and well maintained. The safari park is very close and a 10 minute walk to the house. Vehicular access is only a few minutes back up the access road. You do get some noise from the park but it did not bother us and you can hear the animals on occasion, especially the sea lions. You are also close to some quaint Wiltshire and Somerset villages so plenty to see away from the park. We stumbled across Somerset Lavender www.somersetlavender.com/ which was a bit different with a tea room and shop. We had a lovely relaxing weekend and will definitely go again.

Animal park

Great site, not just for the safari park, very open, plenty of space to enjoy. Lots of open views and nice walks. The safari is great as well and easy access from the site. Check the postcode, as we had to do 13 point turn in a closed road, with the caravan attached.............

Lovely peaceful break

We were most impressed with the high standards on this site and the mass of information available for visitors. Warm, welcoming staff. We visited midweek and will definitely be returning.

Safari days

Stayed here for 5 nights June 2017 and had 4 full days in the park. Superb location close to Longleat safari park. 5 minutes walk into site, excellent facilities, peaceful and tranquil. Toilets and showers were immaculate, pitches spacious and level. Plenty of bins and water points across site. Will definitely visit again to explore the area more fully.

A fantastic break

We stayed for 4 nights from 30th June till 4th July 17. Wish it was longer. We'll definitely be coming back for longer next time. The staff are friendly and all do a fantastic job and keep the site spotless. Facilities are excellent. We had a hard pitch with an awning. You will need metal pegs for these. TV signal poor, but the electric hook up bollard has a TV ariel hook up too. So picture is OK. We got a 2 day pass into Longleat, which was brilliant. And as you can walk out of the site exit straight into longleat park was even better. We popped back to the caravan at lunch time, saving money on the price's of food and drinks. We got the Safari bus for £5 each. Well worth it as it's cheaper than replacing parts of your car and the bus stop is just around the corner from the site. We couldn't hear the lion's roar at night. But could hear the sea lions barking. Which was nice. Super market about 10 minutes away so very handy all round. Can't rate this site enough. Well worth a stay
