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.
