Slightly disappointed

We were unfortunate to arrive in heavy rain and arrived in front of house not knowing quite where to go as there was no one about. We have a long wide van but not an 8 ft one fortunately . We had read that care was needed to negotiate the sheds but didn't realise just how bad it would be, fortunately we made it !! We were the 5th unit to pitch so only had hard standing pitch just inside gate to use. If you don't have a motor mover then you'll definitely need muscles to get unit onto this pitch. We were under trees so no view and no TV reception. Getting off was no easier as we had to move car out onto drive and use mover to hitch up, our worry was that we were blocking access to site by doing so. Even with mover, the hedges around gate entrance to pitching area were a bit overgrown and were touching side of van whilst hitching up. Same as hedges along route past notorious sheds . The hedges were quite leafy but you never know if there's a hefty branch just under the leaves. Access to the other pitches looked fine and grassed pitching area was well kept. With a smaller unit, would definitely visit again but think that anyone with a larger van should think very carefully about booking a pitch here .

I am sorry you had problems arriving at our CL site and that you were not sure where to go.  There is in fact a board at the front of the house which says what to do if no one is around and describes where the site is and the cost per night. My husband and I both work part-time so we are not always available.

Secondly the 'notorious sheds' are in fact one wooden shed which you drive straight past and then a farm building which you gently curve around to the left to reach the site.  The access is not in a direct straight line which the majority of people don't find a problem with and we have been open now for 18 years.  We have had a 5 wheeler down which was a squeeze but still made it onto the site and that was a 13m outfit.

We keep the site tidy and maintained (please see our other reviews) and take pride on the fact that we have lots of positive comments with many people returning year after year.

Please come again in better weather and I think you will find it a very different experience.
