October at Longleat

This beautiful, wooded site has a very special feature: the roaring of lions as you prepare to go to sleep: the ‘Serengeti’ experience in your own caravan , wonderful! We decided to visit Longleat Park although our first impression was a shock at the price of the entrance tickets. After presenting our Caravan Club card and proving we were bona fide AOP (how flattering!) our tickets were very much more affordable. After a day spent there, which we qualified as ‘superb’ despite a very cold ‘shower’, we agreed that even if we had had to pay full price, it still would have been excellent value for money. Once you pay for the entrance, everything is free. You only have to pay for your refreshments and souvenirs. While you’re at the camp, Longleat isn’t the only place to visit, Stourhead is a must! We recommend them! We were at Longleat Caravan site from the 15th to the 19th October 2016. The leaves were just ‘turning’, the season being late, but the foliage was still offering a lovely coverage. The site is well designed, offering little ‘islands’ in the middle of the trees. Apart from being well kept, what strikes you when you arrive, is that somebody has green fingers: the reception building was a riot of colour, beautiful! The very accessible, well designed sanitary block, near the disabled pitches (we didn’t visit the other), is not only spotless, it is WARM. With seasonal low temperatures (2.9C was the lowest) it was truly lovely not to shiver when taking a shower. We would warmly recommend this site. Not only it is beautiful, the wardens there are wonderful: welcoming, friendly and very, very helpful. They also have a good sense of humour – elementary, my dear Watson! We will be back.
