Lovely Site
We stayed on this site for 2 nights. Lovely site with beautiful views towards Bath. Located in a quiet area surrounded by trees. Only a 2 minute walk to a great pub around the corner. Will be visiting again next year
Fabulous and beautiful location
Great CL highly recommended. Giles couldn't be more helpful. Fantastic base for exploring the area and a short walk to a good pub. Hope to return.

Beautiful location
We spent 7 nights at this lovely CL, set high up on Box Hill overlooking the valley and Bath in the distance. Access is as described in the site book. The entrance is wide enough for all outfits. There are 5 grass pitches of variable quality with adequate spacing between all of them, enough to allow you to move a few metres either way to help with either finding a level piece of ground or move out of the shadow of the plentiful trees which surround the CL.
We moved pitch on the second night when someone left as the pitch we were on was a little exposed to the very high winds of a storm. Levelling blocks are advisable although we did manage to find level ground second time around. To be fair to the owners the site is set on a hill and they have no objections to you pitching a bit off the pitch if it helps. In fact the owners couldn't have been more accommodating and are a lovely couple.
There is a clean toilet and all the usual recycling bins etc.
There are plenty of walks available for dog owners from site and the local pub is only 250 yards away. Easy access to Chippenham, Melksham, Bath and places such as Lacock Abbey and Castle Coombe racing circuit.
The owners also own 2 first rate self catering cottages just opposite the entrance. Having had a look inside they appear to lack nothing.
We were unlucky with the weather but would stop here again if in the area.
Hope to return
We stayed here having booked for four days, and were able to increase our stay to nine days. Simple access to this site, good views within a few metres of the exit, and the choice of miles of flat easy walking, which we and the dog loved. Not far to walk to the bus stop, but a little short steep hill to climb coming back, the buses run every 20 minutes, and we made good use of them. We enjoyed trips to Bath, Chippenham and Corsham, and drove ourselves to further places of interest. We try to go to different areas for holidays, but I am looking forward to trying this site again, there was so much to do. Our only mistake was pulling the van through Bradford on Avon.

Beautiful Surroundings
We were made very welcome by Giles.
This is a peaceful site and it's convenience to Bath and Bradford on Avon was great.
We only stayed for a few days but would recommend this CL to others.
The local pub is a short walk away and we had a good meal but thought the wine was a bit expensive.
