Helpful wardens, tidy site, but bad luck struck
Booked 3 nights as one of the few Club Sites available at short notice over the busy Easter period. Chosen as looked peaceful set amongst the trees and as no facilities thought it would attract others seeking some tranquillity. Although we'd booked hardstanding I think there was only one hardstanding pitch left when we arrived (just after 1pm), but fortunately the grass was dry and seems to drain well in most areas. The wardens were really helpful and welcoming at check in and were in evidence keeping the site tidy and maintained. Unfortunately the pitch we chose turned out to be next to a family seeking a different experience to ourselves, playing 'dance' music outside and repeatedly having to shout at their dog (which they kept untethered) to come back. So no chance to just listen to the natural world and watch the numerous Red Kites flying overhead. I think that noise intolerance and irritability may be a symptom of early Covid, as the following morning I felt unwell and tested positive. As a result we were forced to pack up and return home after just the one night. I think this site would suit families with children looking to explore/ride bikes in the woods, or people happy to just walk their dogs in the woods or to nearby villages. A good base for the area also. Bear in mind one side of hardstanding is next to the busy public carpark so wouldn't suit those wanting to sit outside in peace during the day.
