Perfect Site

Just returned from 3 excellent days at Longleat, lovely warm welcome from the wardens, nothing was too much trouble for them. The site is immaculate as are the toilets, a credit to the wardens. Thank you for a lovely 3 days

Very disappointed

We visited this site in 2011 & had a very enjoyable stay. We were able to walk into Longleat early morning & evening with our little dog. However, we booked a return visit this week along with park tickets for the day, I rang & spoke to a member of the CC customer services regarding dog walking facilities as the reviews had stated we were no longer able to walk in the park. I was told specifically that they had an acre of dog walking available along with all the surrounding lanes. We arrived on site after an 85 mile journey in blazing sunshine, we pitched in a shaded area & settled down to relax, on walking around our pitch on the offside of the hard standing it was covered in cigarette butts from the next door caravan, while we were eating outside the neighbour's visitors children were playing football in the road in front of us - we moved pitches after tea ! We then went to find the dog walk - a trip through the Amazon would have been easier, we needed to take a machete with us! It was virtually unusable & with about four other dog walkers a total waste of time. The following morning my husband decided to try the lanes around the site - bad idea!! He nearly got run over twice by speeding cars & Longleat works traffic, he returned very quickly. We gave our park tickets away to a nice couple we had spoken to & left the site very disappointed & out of pocket. We felt that the Longleat CC site is now extremely UN DOG FRIENDLY & we will not be returning.

Great Site great stay

Had a 3 night stay and have re-booked to go again.The site is immaculate and the wardens are both friendly, helpful and are always busy.Was disappointed to find we could not access the Longleat Grounds for even a walk anymore.This is not a Caravan Club decision we were advised.We purchased reduced priced tickets via internet and then as we walked into the grounds a nice young lady advised we could not proceed without tickets.It turns out she could print them in the hut we were sorted.Spent some time in "The village" the Penguins were great, train ride good also and then the boat ride.Had to 'Q' a bit but expectable.We did not want to take car in with the Monkeys so was advised to book Safari Bus.This needs to be booked at Guest Services area and promptly as only 4 runs were on our day.Extra cost £5 each but well worth it as you see the Monkeys pulling wiper jets out and blades and breaking aerials.Over all great value for money,so good we traded our tickets in for an annual pass (day cost taken off total).We used one food outlet which was good and dont forget to download your vouchers from Caravan Club web site 20% of food outlets and 20% off retail outlets.We had our picture taken when going on the boat ride and decided to have the pics with info book/frame keyrings and access via net to the pics. £20 but with discount £16.We intent to do the house and grounds on next visit.Back to the site, chippy was good on Friday night if a bit slow with orders but good food and reasonable cost.The Wi-Fi was acceptable for emailing and small downloads but the site was fairly quiet during our stay and that could be the reason it was working ok.Would think a week is the max stay here these days unless you have a yearly pass or just want to explore the area in general. Overall fantastic few days,bit expensive but why not :)

Beware where you site

This is a lovely clean site, wardens friendly, nice dog walk adjacent, however the dog walk is spoilt by inconsiderate dog owners who seem to think it is someone else's job to clean up after their dog. Pity we are no longer able to walk around the ground !! unfortunately we found ourself parked near the approach road, which also serves as an longleat estate route for dumpers and heavy kit that started about 7 each morning waking us up.

Pleasurable

We have yet again spent a few days at this gorgeous site, with the added bonus of having the Longleat facilities next door. Staff were friendly and helpful always smiling. The site was as ever clean, tidy and respected by all visitors. Due to the long narrow access route arrival/departure times must be adhered to so book early and enjoy. Thank you and we shall return.

Great Site

This is a really lovely site, well maintained, very clean and friendly wardens. The loos and showers always had empty cubicles available - unlike some places where we have had to queue. A good central site to visit so many places.

Idealic site in beautiful location

This site is simply stunning, its kept, maintained and cleaned impeccably which in our experience is standard at caravan club sites. We had nothing to complain about and found the wardens to be amiable, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The shop stocked essentials and daily papers could be ordered which was handy. The chip van was invariably busy when it arrived and was reasonably priced. The sites location is perfect for a gentle stroll into the park and grounds. Frome is just a 5 minute drive away and has a large Asda supermarket. The Safari Park on the doorstep is a good visit, we got the discounted 2 day pass through the caravan club and this proved to be good value. Whilst here we also visited Bath, Glastonbury and Stonehenge, all in relatively comfortable driving distance and all well worth the visit. In short a great site in a great area and we would not hesitate to come back

Lovely Longleat :)

Most campers leave at the 1200 deadline, we arrived at 1230 with no issues but got our tab bent. Common sense really you don't want to get caught on the road inbound when a outbound van is on its way out, it is narrow in places. Road noise from park service vehicles but you are next to the park, Sealions and wolves can be heard:) Not enough showers, 4 per block male, same ladies. Some adjustment in your arrival time will miss busy periods. Cleaning is split, the ones near the play ground close mid afternoon, worked for us. Good play ground, handy for the park. Felt a 2day ticket enough to see all, guided tours of the house in the mornings gets you into the private rooms. After 1200 its open house but not the private rooms, so we visited the house twice. Good open and well spaced pitches, but some numpty moved our peg, so lesson learnt to check peg is in the right place! Never had this before. A day at Stonehenge(prebooked times slot you in for the bus ride to the site), then a day at Bath the Baths, the Circus and then No1 Queens Parade - great kids activity pack here, road works add to the journey, so don't follow the diversion keep going as if the road was not closed, you will be then taken off the closed road up a steep and winding road, its the way we came back. Bath traffic nightmare, we parked at the long stay but had aimed to park and ride. Then our final day was at Street Shopping Village, the Clarks Shoe factory, well worth a visit many bargains to be had, good playground, thus no shopping in bath itself. Dog walk is in woods, so boggy after rain so go prepared, many poo bins about, easy to walk up the main road during non peak traffic times. Only marked down due to too few showers(her nibs went to another block and didn't queue) and a bit of road noise(as said to be expected really). Overall a great site. Remember the Longleat discount CC tickets via the CC website link, and the money off vouchers for food/drink and toys from the shops - big savings. We took nibbles into the grounds during the day. Fav bit the bat cave, worst bit the monkeys they wreak your car. It is worth paying the bus fare if you are desperate to see the monkeys. They take even flush fit parts, fav items wipers, washer jets and pipes, rear wipers, rear washer jets, parking sensors and any plastic trim etc etc We were still driving past bits of peoples car in the Wolf section. Last but not least, cannot fault the current wardens, the site is a credit to them, they are there but not intrusive, very welcoming and open. You'd have to go far to find a better a site.

Excellent for visiting the attraction

This is an excellent site, located within a 5 minute walk of Longleat Safari Park, it's superb for visiting the park with small children to take advantage of the 2 day tickets. The club site is clean with really friendly wardens, what you would expect from a caravan club site.  As it's right next to Longleat it is a bit noisy with the sounds of seals and lions and echos of the music payed on various attractions, but it's what you get if you want a site right next to a safari park! An excellent stay was had by all, and I'd thoroughly recommend it for anyone wanting to visit Longleat.

A perfect site in perfect location

A big site but so peaceful. Immaculate facilities on site. Plenty on site for children of all ages. Right next to Lonleat park which is also fantastic. We purchased special offer 5 days entry to park. 2 adults and 2 kids about £145.00. A one day pass would be over £100 so this really is great value. Would highly recommend to any family. Wardens run activities for children on certain days, there is even a huge outdoor chess board, badminton net, grassed play area for ball games, wooden play area, indoor activity room with table tennis and a film early evening for children with warden present. Simply brilliant, our best family holiday with Caravan Club so far.
