Fabulous bank holiday first visit

We visited this site for the first time with our friends who have a touring van as well. We were all very impressed from the start of our visit to the end. Wardens very friendly and the site was a credit to them. Facilities very clean on a very busy weekend. Our pitches were very generous and accommodate our twin axle vans, awnings and cars with ease. We walked into Longleate Safari Park having pre booked taking advantage of the club discount. We took advantage of the bus around the Safari Park it cost £5 each but having some of the cars coming out of the monkey enclosure money well spent. I'd recommend this site to anybody. We shall all be returning. .

Wonderful site

This was our first visit. What a great experience from start to finish. The site is exceptionally beautiful nestled in the midst of the Longleat Estate. Above all it is peaceful and tranquil--barring the occasional lion and sea lion roar! We were there for nearly three weeks [outside of the school holidays]. The staff show immense pride in their work and this is reflected in the very high standard of the grounds and facilities. They have an exceptionally good information room largely due to the wardens input. The wardens are friendly and most helpful. We had an electrical fault which was tripping the system and the warden expertly helped us to identify our kettle as the culprit. He was most friendly and knowledgeable. There is bags to do in the surrounding area especially if you like walking and sightseeing. The countryside is stunning and there are lovely towns and villages such as Frome and Mells nearby. The grounds of Stourhead are sublime. Importantly whilst Longleat Safari Park will be a draw for many it is by no means the only worthwhile attraction. If you have not been to this site yet, get in your car, hitch up, and go there now!

Disappointed

Having recommended this Site to friends and family, we were upset to learn that we were no longer able to walk from the Site into Longleat as in previous years. We haved paid for various attractions individually iin the past, but now are unable to pop into the cafe/restaurant/pub on the grounds. We expect that there will be quite a few people who don't want to have to pay a full day Adult Ticket in order to have a cup of coffee! Also on our day of arrival, we arrived at 1pm, following instruction from the Club not to arrive earlier, only to find people had already been allowed entry (and set up). Although it is an excellent Site and we have enjoyed our stays here, we doubt we will return next year.

Lovely Site

This is an excellent site. Facilities very clean also the overall site was very clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. The most special thing was sitting in the evening hearing the Lions roar. Also you can hear the sea lions most of the day. Nice walks with the dog. Will return.

More than on our first ever trip

The only reason I didn't give 5 stars on peace and quiet was because we'd pitched near the entrance Road. Minimal traffic though. There are loads of pitches where you wouldn't be near the road. Toilets and wash facilties better than many 5 star hotels we've been to. Get a two day longleat pass and go through the safari twice. One day include the house, the other day do the rest. You are two minutes away in the car. Pitch sizes great. No way could you have felt cramped in. Plenty of trees. Plenty of birds twittering. Everyone running the place were friendly and helpful. We've booked up for another three days.

Best site ever !

This site is the friendliest site we have been to, very kid friendly and has a lovely feel to it. Walking dogs in beautiful wood smelling of bluebells and wild garlic and listening to sea lions and lions roaring at night very entertaining. Staff lovely has overtaken my local site Malvern Hills as the nicest site we have visited will definitely be back .

Fantastic site

This is one of the best sites we have been on. The site was full due to bank holiday weekend but nevertheless quiet . The shower blocks and toilets immaculate. It is within walking distance to visit Longleat park so you don't need to drive unless you wish to do the drive through safari yourself rather than the Longleat bus. The pitches on the site were flat and well kept. We did get a TV reception too. I intend to re visit this site but will stay longer next time.

Can we give it 6 stars?

Having recently visited during the Easter Break, we can say Longleat is our favourite club site. Facilities were excellent and appeared to have been recently refurbished, site is kept perfectly tidy, nicely laid out with a mixture of tree's and open spaces for children to play as well as a indoor area with table tennis and pool, all making it a good choice for families. Longleat itself is literally next door, we had a 5 day pass which needs to be booked prior to arrival to benefit from the clubs discount. There is plenty to see and do around Longleat itself for both children & adults, house and grounds are excellent, set within beautiful countryside, a wide range of animals, activity's, play areas and peace and quiet with nothing but the roar of lions or sea lions at night. NOTE; Club members which arrive early, why? It is important to follow the clubs advice reference arrival times, and the narrow spots on the access route, we left at 10:45 and met another caravan coming down the lane, very annoying. Would also like to mention the newly recruited assistant wardens, very helpful and welcoming. An example to all other wardens.

Longleat Easter weekend

This is the 2nd time we have stayed there it is with out doubt one of the best, i have read a few of the other reviews about the road in, I have a 23ft motor home with a tow car and have not had any problems, as we take the clubs advice and arrive around 2PM and make sure we go before 12AM, yes the road can be a bit narrow but there are loads of pull-ins you just have to take it at a steady pace as the view ahead is good the only real bad bit is when you turn in off the main road there are 2 blind bends but hay its not a race take your time, there is one good point in another review, maybe the club could do a deal with the estate to have a camping and open grounds ticket (not inc the safari park) just the house and grounds that may be good as you could then use the restaurants and cafe extra , Other than that the site is spot on, OK tip here for you all the TV and satellite is rubbish but hay on our last night there we found TV hook up's on each post and it works fab Cheers Phill & Jill

Family Easter Holiday

As we have done before my wife and daughter with her family had a few nice days at The Longleat Site. The site itself is hard to fault but there there are a couple of things that detract from the overall enjoyment.. Firstly the approach road is very narrow in places and if you have a large van you have to hope you don't meet other vehicles coming the other way. The club have tried to help in as much as asking people not to arrive before 1.00pm and making latest time off of site 12.00 noon The other very annoying thing is the fact that caravan club members are not able to walk up to use the restaurants at Longleat without having a valid day ticket.It seems to me both the owners of Longleat and the Caravan Club are missing a trick as at one time you were able to do this. Longleat Estate only stand to make money by allowing Caravan Club members access to the restaurants and as you are not able to enter any of the other facilities without a ticket they could not lose by allowing this facility. The club would also benefit by making the stay more attractive and cutting down car movement, it's a no brainer.
