This was my first trip after buying my camper van and joining the Caravan Club so I really was a true (and nervous) rookie. However, I needn't have worried as from their helpfulness during the booking process, their flexibility around arrival times and the relaxing, peaceful stay on site Mr & Mrs Pope made it all so easy for me, a solo traveller, and my dog, Hetty. The site is lovely....rural not manicured and surrounded by woods with horses in the adjoining fields making a great place to chill out. I wish I could say the same about the Caravan Club main sites I stayed on which (maybe I dropped unlucky) I found to be unfriendly, unhelpful and inflexible....I'm hoping Ashling Lodge is more representative of a Caravan Club experience than the others were! Thank you Mr & Mrs Pope I will definitely be back.
