Lovely altogether
We were somewhat fearful of the last few miles, having read the reviews and instructions on how to get there. But it is easy, even for a big old grumpy campervan driven by a much older and equally grumpy bloke. All you need to remember is to use the road by the White Hart not the Red Lion. It's a bit twist, with the odd narrow bit but nothing bad. Talking of the Red Lion, the food there is pretty good and it's a Wadsworth's pub - the beer is excellent.
We were greeted warmly on arrival, the shop is one of the better stocked CC places. They had no dog food, which pleased our little feller as he had to suffer corned beef and ravioli for a few days. Not much hardship there. They also sell TV coax, which is just as well as the reception is somewhere between non-existent and dreadful. This was a required purchase as I felt the need to watch England v Iceland but lets not go there. The site is spacious, big and quiet. It's easy to lose yourself for the first day or two. The first time I wandered over to the shower block (which was impeccably clean by the way) it took about a minute. Returning to the van took about five minutes, which is odd because I have a superb sense of direction. Strange to say, it's very convenient to Longleat Safari Park, there are also discounts on the tickets. I have no idea what Longleat is like as we didn't visit (don't ask, I was almost tempted as there is a rather good narrow gauge railway that runs along the back of the site. Don't worry, it's not intrusive. There are some great walks to be had - get an OS map from th shop, it's worth the expense. Great site, nice people and wonderfully clean and well kept. If you want to use the dodgy CC WIFI, choose your pitch carefully and the drongo's who installed it seem a tad clueless on RF transmitter location. The office has a very helpful map on WIFI reception. Yes, we'd visit again. Nice.
