Small Quiet site - very welcoming - good location - excellent value

We have done boats, campervan, and trailer tent before but this was our first time with a caravan so rather experimental. We just did a two night stay only 30 miles from home at the beginning of April with Grandad, Granny and two young grand daughters. It was a great success. The weather was kind and the site owners were very welcoming on a really personal basis. The owner took our two young girls with his own daughter, same age, around the small farm and showed them the goats, geese, chickens etc. There were sheep near to lambing in the next door field. They also farm beef cattle.There were wonderful fresh eggs for sale at only £1 for a half dozen (some large some bantam) and we were made a gift of the first young sticks of their early ruhbarb crop. Truly friendly! The facilities are fairly basic but there was electric power on all the 6 grass pitches and fesh drinking water and waste disposal all close by. There is no shower or toilet block but we were self sufficent so it did not bother us. The site is not difficult to find and access. It is flat and was fairly dry at a time of year when many other sites had turned us down because they were too wet. You need only drive a short way to find the local pubs and walks but there are plenty and the owners will give you helpful advice. Alresford is an attractive old market town close by. Winchester is about 30 minutes easy drive and very well worth a visit if you have not seen it before. Near Winchester (about 20 mins drive) is the Winchester Science Centre - great for kids and even adults. The Watercress old railway line is an enjoyable day outing for kids and also for people new to the area looking for a day out the Portsmouth historic dockyard (HMS Victory etc) is not to be missed about 40 mins drive away. Overall the site is small but with all the basic facilities - well run and very welcoming and within easy reach of plenty of attractive activities for all tastes. Thoroughly recommended - just what Certified Locations are all about.
