This site is superb and is probably the best one we have been on. It was easy to find and the welcome was very warm.
It is flat and well manicured with plenty of room between plots. There is a good sized secure area for dog walking, a poo bin being provided, and a separate area of approx 1/2 acre, which is in development, where new trees are growing and areas are left wilder around wild flowers. It isn't secure but is a wonderful area to just wander around with your dogs.
The weather wasn't the best whilst we were there. We had 2 days of strong winds which caused worries regarding the awning. The soil there is very soft and sandy so pegs go in easily, but also, under strong winds, they can pull out just as easily.
Martin was very concerned for us and offered every help, as did another guest who had a set of storm straps and lent them to us. Lesson was learned and a set has now been purchased. I won't leave home without them again.
This is a truly wonderful site. It is new, so is clean and fresh, and there is every indication that Martin and Mandy will keep it so.
There is a shed on site, full of booklets etc providing so much local information, to back up the local knowledge from Martin and Mandy.
Alton Water is a 10min walk away and it is well worth the effort to walk around. Flatford Mill and Dedham are a short drive away.
We didn't do half the things we wanted to do, so we will be back.
The one down side, if you really want to be picky, is that there is a railway line approx 1/4 mile away. There is some rail traffic noise, but if that bothers you, all I would say is "get a life".
