A secure base for relaxing holiday
Just had 10 days on this CL.
The site is nicely equipped with what you expect to find on a CL. Ian cuts the grass regularly, so it really is a nice field to make camp on. The power supply is fine, and 3 taps provide convenient access to water while allowing campers to spread about in the field. There's a waste bin, glass, and other recycling. A compost bin would be handy for vegetable waste. Mostly quiet although, as others have said, you can hear odd boy racer but mainly during the evening or weekend. Strong winds were forecast during our stay and while the tall trees in the distance were flailing about, the site itself is well protected with very little noise from the wind. There are no overhanging branches either so nothing to worry about there. The site is also protected by an electrically operated gate. Don't hesitate to ask Mandy if you need more than one means of opening the gate. She seemed happy to oblige. With Mandy and Ian also on site most of the time, your rig feels safe when you leave it for days out.
The layby provides a low stress approach to the site allowing you to depart the A44. If you're pulling a twin axle or larger camper, take the turn onto the site nice and wide to avoid clipping the curb. All easy enough if you take your time.
We have a dog and I like to run. There's a public footpath adjacent to the site and quiet local roads nearby so we were both happy. I stored a few routes on OS Maps.
Also happy were the ponies. Getting on in their years, they were not charging about but certainly seemed content.
A lovely CL and a little cheaper than many others nearby.
