A lucky find

We were looking for a place to stay in our motorhome, within easy reach of Oxford by public transport and this seemed to fit the bill. The site was easy to find. although I was glad I had checked it out on Google streetview first as the sign at the end of the lane could be easy to miss. We parked in the only empty hardstanding, which was number 2, and hooked up. Note that the EHU is 10 amps. The fresh water tap was at the fence just at the back of this pitch so we just about managed to get our hose to reach. Caravanners were rolling their water containers up to it, but others may have to make sure they bring a very long hose, or they would have to drive up at the side of pitch 2 which could have been a bit awkward. There was a sign near the entrance (facing the wrong way for people arriving) asking us to pay at the bungalow along the lane. Mr Winters was friendly and helpful. He came quickly once when we phoned having tripped the electricity, and he was often seen just checking around. The black waste is also not far from the back of pitch 2 and as another reviewer noted, is basically an open drain with a loose cover on it. The smell when it was open was awful, and you had to be careful not to splash yourself. Aside from that, we were very happy with the site and its location. Buses were easy into Oxford, but don't fall into the trap we did and buy a 72 hours Oxford Bus Company pass, and then find its not valid on the Park and Ride and Stagecoach. Around the corner from the hardstanding pitches was another area without EHU that had lovely views over a field where deer would sometime wander. We would go again, but take some sort of mask for emptying the black waste!
