Half Term Break in Bath

Bicknam
A great find... Merv and Lyn were very welcoming. Biggest welcome pack we have ever received. Easy access to bus routes - 4 & 4a to Bath, 6 minute walk away and are every 15 mins. Had a great few days will definitely come back again!

Good location but access to the site is rubbish

Bicknam

We have stayed here for 5 nights for its access to Bath. The access to the site is very tight made worse with parked cars on the narrow approach road. Some pitches are difficult to get on if your unit is a caravan and moreso f you don't have motor movers. Leaving the site is worse. I would recommend you don't use this site if you have a twin axle caravan without movers or a wider bodied caravan. Everything else is as per other reviews regarding greeting and nice people etc.

Comment from the Club:

Thank you for leaving a review and we are delighted that you enjoyed the location of the CL Site. The CL Owner has been in touch to address your concerns with regards to the entrance. They send a brochure which shows the layout of the site to all guests. Whilst there are sometimes parked cars on one side before access to the site, there is still space of 12 to 13 feet available.The driveway entrance measures 11 feet 6 inches, with 23 feet from driveway into the CL. The CL has advised that many double axle vans and small american motorhomes have used this site since they opened.

Great location however site in need of TLC!

Bicknam

Site in need of lots of TLC, looking really tired. It's a tight squeeze in and out with a caravan, some less experienced will struggle. Serviced pitch, which is good. Great information pack. Farm shop in owners conservatory. If location is key to you and you don't mind what the campsite looks like, you'll be ok. We were disappointed. Nice people though.

Comment from the Club:

We are delighted you found the location good and the serviced pitch. The CL has been in touch as he would like to assure you they take good care of their CL Site, which was inspected earlier in the year. With regards to the entrance, they send a brochure which shows the layout of the site to all guests. Whilst there are sometimes parked cars on one side before access to the site, there is still space of 12 to 13 feet available.The driveway entrance measures 11 feet 6 inches, with 23 feet from driveway into the CL.

Good stay in Bath

Bicknam
We arrived at the site slightly concerned given the previous 2 reviews. However, no problem siting the caravan. Lyn was there to welcome us with a comprehensive information pack and a friendly welcome. The site's main attraction is the convenience to Bath. Newbridge Park and Ride is a 10 minute walk away, which we used twice with our bus passes. We have used CLs for many years and we enjoy the variety of sites with their differences. If you want a standardised site with all facilties then Club sites are probably best suited.

Great CL hosts Merv and Lyn.

Bicknam
We needed a CL within walking distance of Bath centre for a couple of nights. If going to Bath again we would definitely stay here. When we arrived , Merv and Lyn made us very welcome and gave us one of the most comprehensive welcome/ info packs we’ve ever seen. Nothing was too much trouble. Merv walked down to the pitches and explained everything in detail. Each pitch has its own tap and hook up. The pitches are paving slabs, some a little uneven but almost level. We really enjoyed our stay and this couple are some of the nicest and most caring we’ve come across. Well worth a visit.
