Fantastic location. Peaceful, with the exception of listening to the wildlife from Longleat. This is, of course, an attraction of the site. Poor WiFi but gives you the chance to switch off.
Facilities very dated and in need of refurbishment. Warden said lease is ending soon so no investment which is such a shame. In particular the disabled facilities need a review though I was able to discuss concerns with the site warden.
Clearer information regarding access road to the site would be useful as the road feels more like a country track than an access road. Nearly turned around!
Another great stay
Another great stay at this site - myself, husband, son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter stayed again this year and couldn’t fault as usual. Seemless check in - lovely clean and well maintained facilities and pitch. Wardens went above and beyond as usual and were very accommodating and helped us out on our second day which made for a stress free day not having to moving car and motorhome.
fantastic staff
Had an awesome time. Such a lovely location and close to so many sites to visit The staff do an excellent job in keeping the site and facilities very clean as well as always friendly and helpful. We have already booked our next trip here in the school half term xD
Lovely Longleat
This is a lovely club site, on the border of Wiltshire and Somerset; clean, well-maintained, with good facilities.
The staff are amongst the friendliest and most helpful we have ever come across and are always on hand to provide advice. A special mention should go to Sandra and her husband who made a particular effort to make us feel welcome.
The site is large, clean and looked-after. Yes, there are some pitches that have been cordoned off in one area of the site, but this did not detract one bit from the great experience that we had on site.
As with a lot of the sites, access to wifi can be very hit and miss, and so it is with Longleat; however, on the upside it really gives a chance to switch off and enjoy the holiday.
There is a lot to do in the area, obviously the safari park, but also local walks around Cley Hill, walks on Cranbourne Chase, which is an area of natural outstanding beauty, and the Mendip Hills.
I thoroughly recommend this site.
Good but..
As with most Club sites, Longleat is clean and tidy. However, they just don’t maintain some extras.
The Wi-Fi is hopelessly unreliable, even if you are close to one of the antennas. Given the site is in a ‘dead spot’ for at least two mobile companies - so you can’t use your own system- having the Club system is important.
None of the TV points on the bollard near our pitch worked. This is quite common.
The site has no full service pitches. Several are being prepared. They were started over a year ago. They are still not finished.
Given the prices charged by the Club, functional Wifi, TV systems and completing work in a timely manner isn’t unreasonable.
Isolated site on edge of Longleat Estate iron curtain
We stayed in July - 4 nights. Site about a quarter full. Friendly wardens. Clean facilities.
Strangely there are about 6 pitches taped off and looking quite desolate, with partly installed electrics?Although we were aware that unless cycling on a specific cycle route you can’t venture onto the Longleat estate. It’s way more restricted than we had imagined. We chose not to go to Longleat £39.95 head and went to NT Stourhead! Long walks to the bus stops and pubs too.
I get a feeling that this site is running down to closing. I’m guessing it will become part of Longleat!
Lovely site but just too remote
We have no complaints whatsoever about the cleanliness of the facilities, friendliness of staff or site layout all of which were fine. Our only negative was the remoteness. OK we booked it in advance and we read all the reviews prior to doing so so it was our own fault. However a word of advice to those of you in larger MH units..If you decide to go here make sure you have all your supplies for the entirety of your stay because it’s a bit of a Safari (get it?) getting in and out.
Amazing stay
Ive stayed at this site numerous times. The site has large pitches that are well spaced out. The toilet, shower etc blocks are spotless and the showers lovely and warm. We had a great couple of days in Longleat and the only noise on the campsite was the sound of the sea lions and occasionallythe lions. Thank you Longleat, we will be back soon
Lovely site
Longleat site is one of the nicest sites we have stayed on. It is clean, quiet and friendly. The barking of the sea lions at longleat is lovely to hear and they made us laugh. They are not so loud as to keep you awake.
The staff are all very nice, welcoming and helpful.
There are loads of places to visit around the area. Although some are a fairly long drive away, all are worth the visit. Most of the places we went to were National Trust or English Heritage properties and gardens. As members of both, visits were free.
National Trust, Avebury Stone Circle and Avebury itself. You can walk around the stones and see Silbury Hill from the stone circle.
We also visited Bradford on Avon. A really pretty town with some excellent coffee shops and restaurants.
Frome is not far, where there are supermarkets. Sainsbury's at one end and Asda the other.
Places to visit are very much a personal choice and it all depends on your interests. We found loads to do and will certainly be back. We stayed 15 nights and there were still places left to see for next time.
The White Hart pub at the top of the site access road has a roast and all the trimmings on a Wednesday and Thursday for only £8.00. Great value and plenty of food.
All in all an excellent two week holiday.
Is Longleat club site closing?
The site is amazing but apart from paying the very expensive entrance fee to get into the Park there is nothing to do in the immediate vicinity.
How long will this site stay open as we have heard that Lord Bath has plans drawn up for a Hotel and Conference Centre on the land?
The new peg trial appears to be a backward step which will add to the confusion some members have of how to pitch up appropriately.
