Great site spoiled by neighbouring site.
I write this review before leaving tomorrow after spending 4 nights here.
Billy and Margret were great and what a lot of the reviews mention is correct however:
What a racket from the site next door with 2 days of a strimmer on full revs has resulted in the low mark for peace and tranquillity which has marred what would be a lovely stay.
Excellent site
We have just returned from a lovely weekend at this CL, you couldn’t wish for more. The site owner welcomed us and made us feel so welcome and went out if his way to make us feel at home. This is our second visit and it most certainly won’t be our last, can’t wait until The next time. Thank you so much Mr Godwin your a star.
A well situated and spacious CL
We have recently returned from a 3 night stay at Larkfield. The weather was fabulous and added to whole experience. Mr and Mrs Goodwin were welcoming and friendly and the site has extremely spacious pitches ( we stayed on Pitch 2) which were separated by hedging, as well as the hedging around the border. Male and female WC was available, with all the Covid-19 sanitisers in place. The grass was short and well maintained. The site is extremely peaceful, with just a minimum of road noise from time to time.
It's about a 30 minute walk into "Chippy", where I discovered one of the best ales, "Butty Bach" from Wye Valley Brewery, at the "Bitter & Twisted" pub. The local Aldi store is about halfway between the site and town.
Great antiques centre at Station Mill, and plenty of lovely walks. We did one to Over Norton and Salford (where the pub is permanently closed unfortunately!) and back to Chippy, around 7.5 miles in all.
I imagine this could become an annual trip to a beautiful part of the country!
Lovely site with great walks
We arrived at the site just after the COVID 19 restrictions were lifted and were warmly welcomed by the owner. The pitches were huge and surrounded by large conifers which gave you privacy though it was not claustrophobic. The site is easily accessible from a main road however we were not disturbed by any noise. We were in pitch 2 which was suggested to us on arrival. We had great walks using a mobile phone app and found some lovely little villages nearby, Adlestrop was just stunning. On leaving we were told to help ourselves to cherries from the tree by our van, they were delicious. Thank you! We would definitely use this site again and would recommend it to anyone. Thanks again Marion and Ernie
Very Welcoming
This is a quiet, beautiful site in rural countryside. All the facilities were wonderful, and Mr and Mrs Goodwin gave a very warm welcome. This is great value for money. We can’t wait to visit again!
