Good Location For Bath But........................

We chose this CL because of its proximity to Bath and, due to the time of year, the advertised hardstandings. The site is approached off a small service road (lots of parked cars - adjacent school?) and then up a short incline before turning sharp left into the CL (there is an 'annexe' to the right with what look like permanently sited vans/motor homes). The owners property is situated on the side of a hill but the site itself is reasonably level. First impressions were quite disappointing - at least 20 unsightly plastic traffic cones placed alongside the central roadway/track presumably aimed to keep you off the grass plus what looked like an abandoned motor home at the end of the CL. There are about six pitches - equally spaced on either side of the roadway but at about a 45 degree angle. Therefore you can drive in and reverse onto the ones on the right (making departure difficult) or you can turn round and reverse into the ones on the left. However, as the previous reviewer has commented, all this is virtually impossible without a motor mover as there is no designated turning area that is large enough for an outfit to turn round without unhooking (we have a twin axle). The hardstanding pitches are single width meaning that cars/awnings are on the grass. We were there during a spell of wet weather and the ground was saturated. We didn't put our awning up and parked the car on another pitch - not sure how this would all come together if the pitches were occupied. Chemical emptying point was in the centre of the driveway to the owners property requiring a walk uphill - not an issue for us but maybe so if you are less mobile. Very friendly welcome from the owners and massive information pack provided. Possible to walk into Bath from the site or Park and Ride not far away. In the end, with two dogs and all the mud, we left after one night even though we had booked and paid for a week. I was not expecting a refund and nor did I ask for one but all credit to Mr Targett as he gave me my money back so thank you. Is the site worth £14 a night - well I've been on worse CL's that have charged more but I've also been on better CL's that charge less. I'll let you be the judge of that.
