Not really a five star site I'm afraid!
The Crown at Mickleton CL
£30 per night did seem a bit steep and also the requirement of paying the whole balance of your stay a week before arrival seems to be a common thing now since covid I'm afraid. Never saw the owner or was greeted on arrival, so can only really give a 1/5! The pictures above are quite old as the greenery is very much higher than these show. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. One good thing to say is the toilet chemical disposal and recycling facilities were very clear and easily located. Here are perhaps the not so good things..... The close proximity of a housing estate means quite alot of noise from cars revving the start and end of the day and even one evening clay pigeon shooting. The fact that one day the site had a power cut and nothing was relayed to the people staying on the site at anytime by the owner was also poor. The dedicated toilet and shower (I add not the easiest to find as not signposted!) was blocked for at least two days during our stay and even though there is a polite sign in the room, asking for any problems to contact The Crown, the fact that this was closed for most of the week and no telephone number provided made this a bit difficult! It was often left with paper and toilet roll dispensers empty with supplies stacked in another area - suggesting that this was not serviced that often! The owner does not seem to be able to count the number of pitches either as on one night, there were all five pitches occupied and yet another motorhome clearly pitched up just outside the gate. This was clearly evident as the same motorhome then came onto one of the vacant pitches the following day! 5 actually means 6 when it comes to taking money on this site! The pitches do have their own water and electric points, but not waste water disposal - this still requires a wastemaster so don't forget to pack this!!! Being honest, so much more could be done with this site by the owner for example - a warm greeting goes along way and perhaps information about what was around locally too. Missed opportunities which in time will mean there will not be repeat guests, we unfortunately will not be returning.
Our go to site.
The Crown at Mickleton CL
Our go to site, never disappoints. Large pitches, fully serviced, gorgeous views. Feel close to nature, dark skies great walks. The Crown is closed but watch out for pop up Crown Outdoor events in the lovely garden. The Blacksmiths Arms is close by good pizzas. Love this site.
light pollution
The Crown at Mickleton CL
great site.the most spacious I have come across. cannot comment on toilets etc as didn't use them. adjacent to village with walks and a pub, the blacksmith's arms (no idea why or for how long the Crown inn is closed for). the only let down was the floodlight shining all night. I expect I am not alone, being someone that enjoys stargazing in the dark skies of the countryside but the floodlight spoils this. it stayed on all night and although the sky was clear was unable to view. at least turn it off at 11.
£30 is pricey, esp with no wifi, but if people are willing to pay for the above then charge them. supply and demand.
Disappointed
The Crown at Mickleton CL
We have been regular visitors to this CL since it opened. We enjoy the local walks and the pub. It has now increased its price by 25% with no improvement in facilities. Still only one toilet. There is no Motor home waste disposal point and no WiFi on site.
What has really annoyed us is the fact they have put an extra Motor home on the site which is clearly only regestired as a CL for 5 pitches, two motorhomes are sharing one pitch tonight which has happened in the past. Not sure if we'll return.
Christmas time visit
The Crown at Mickleton CL
Just returned from this site 30/12/2019 , could not fault any practical aspects of the facility , location and excellent time we had . There is a great pub in the village called The Blacksmiths Arms very friendly which is more than I can say regarding the Crown , where the manager really needs to attend a customer relations course .
No information was given to us other than a card for the password to shower room all other exchanges were as if we were something on her shoe
Food quality in her pub was excellent put the price very expensive . Eat elsewhere on the Sunday
Despite the great location would never go again and the low mark is entirely self inflicted otherwise it would have been 100% 5 stars
