I booked some time ago for three nights at the end of March, but last Monday we decided that the weather forecast looked just too good from the Thursday onwards. I phoned the site and told them I am considering coming a day early, and was told that Thursday would be a better day to arrive anyway, as there would be a better choice of pitches. I was told no problem and I could call anytime to add the extra day. In the end, we just did it, and when we arrived, no problem at all.
Location is perfect for a Cotswold weekend, with something to do every day for weeks, there is always the excuse to return. Seems we have done that a few times, and still not done all we want to. The only down side for me is that there are quite a few dog owners there, but most are well behaved, and the dogs seem quiet enough too. There is a dedicated field for them, as there is for the Toddlers too, so everyone should be happy there.
The staff are all fitted with an individual company approved sense of humour, and do their best to ensure you will have everything you need for a pleasant stay.
We had a fortunate weather break for five days, so Awning up, use and down were all conducted in the dry. That was pretty amazing for the last week of March. Disappointingly the clocks were changed to BST, so we lost an hour... On the positive side, they let us leave a couple of hours later when we departed. that allowed one last trip up to Evesham.
If I can make just one suggestion, it would be the Internet access. It needs to be free, and at least usable for the new TV access portals (sky box-sets, Now TV, Freesat etc). I write as part of my penance, and it would be great to access my work from the site, however, the peace and quiet makes up for all the excuses for not getting work done, and not publishing the web site on time.
Return? Of course, but there are other stops in my calendar too. Autumn sounds good, and having done that before, can vouch for the benefits of a hard-standing.
Book it if you must, but please leave me a space for when I want to go there...
