Return visit after nearly 15 years
Following Caravan Club guidelines on the route to take to this site is important to avoid unsuitable roads. Once here access is easy to a mixture of grass and hardstanding pitches on a sloping site. Motorhomes may require levelling blocks. Compared to some sites the toilet block is old looking but as always it was maintained to a high standard. Booking in was different from other sites on the network in early July 2021 with a brown envelope to pick up from the information hut with siting instructions. Once pitched you then ring the site and pay over the phone. It is a quiet secluded site and you feel that you can unwind here. I spotted a red kite flying over the site, a real treat. Access to tourist spots is good from here and a useful leaflet was provided in the brown envelope of local destinations. Many seemed only suited to cars rather than motorhomes and being a cautious type would Google Earth and street view many of these locations to assess whether I could access them in my van. There's much to enjoy here. A lovely part of the world. I had hoped to stay an hour until 1.00pm but was refused by the warden because he needed to cut the grass. I watched him do it as I dumped my water. It took him less than one minute. I don’t ask many favours from the Club but was disappointed to be refused. I thought it was churlish.
