Caravan Mover advised, central for Bath

We stayed here mid Dec 2016 aiming to visit the Bath Christmas Markets, but they had finished the day we arrived! Biggest information pack I’ve ever been presented with, idea is you use what you need and return the rest at the end of your stay. One thing pack does not include is a full detailed street map of Bath – the touristy maps are not thorough enough so we bought a good street map. Five days in Bath – great city, may even move here for children’s school. Site itself has some drawbacks and some benefits. Drawback is site is small, access road steep, and pitches are at a curious angle to central access strip between the 5 or 6 pitches, such that you can either drive forward and reverse in OK, or drive out OK, depending on your pitch, but you certainly cannot do both. A ‘caravan mover’ is strongly advised at this site if you are to avoid driving on to the soft grass, which in winter you would sink into. Owner has ‘gone to town’ with rather unsightly traffic cones to discourage people from driving on the grass but he is on a bit of a lost cause as there is not enough space for cars to manoeuvre units on to pitches, nor for cars to park in front of or beside the pitches. I suppose cars park near the entrance, away from the units, when site full. Lane approaching site is steep in places and fallen leaves in winter make it slippery, while the short drive itself, in wet conditions, is ‘interesting’. Our front wheel drive car with a big fully loaded unit behind did wheel-spin a bit up the slope, but the sign suggests we ‘take a run at it’ – and we did! I liked the fact each pitch has its own water supply, so with a long hose you could have permanent running water. Grey waste close to caravans at end of site. Site is closest CL you can get to Bath, it is pretty much IN Bath, yet enough off the nearest main road to not suffer from any traffic noise. We found it quiet which I like, as I just do not like road noise. We used our awning but found grass soft & wet (water run-off from hill?) – space enough for awnings though. Key advantage is its location and proximity to Bath centre – OK with a caravan mover.
