Ease of arrival/welcome

Lovely, quiet CL

Our arrival was somewhat marred by some chancers who had just turned up (claiming they were just passing and didn't know they had to book!!) and set up on our pitch - no fault of the owners and swiftly rectified (sometime people just astonish me, they really do). But after that all was absolutely lovely. The most friendly fellow caravanners - much evening chatting and the most glorious outlook over fields to the sea wall. You can walk along the wall into Burnham which we thought was an absolutely lovely little town with fabulous fish and chips. We walked around the farm, along the sea wall and just sat outside the van, in the sun, and watched the birds and horses and the sails. Bliss. Perfectly quiet with just bird song and horsey snorting. We didn't use the facilities, did use the information room (very good), visited the Dengie peninsular and had a wonderful time. One downside. Although we weren't looking for a manicured lawn, the grass was very long. Far too long for comfortable caravanning if I am honest. We had to squash it down to get the awning floor tiles down and they stayed a bit wobbly until the end of our stay. I know this is a very heavily booked site, I know this isn't an expensive site and I know it is a very busy time of year for farmers, but there were several occasions when people pulled off when the majority of the field could have been mown. The weather was hot and sunny and apart from everyone getting very bitten ankles and legs because of the bitey things in the long grass, we were OK. If the weather had been wet, it would have been miserable because the grass around the water point was very long indeed. Another caravanner pointed this out to the owners when we were all leaving and they said they would cut the grass but perhaps it shouldn't have been dependent on us reminding them? Sadly, it would put us off going again. But it was a small point in a really lovely stay on a really lovely eco farm (and the barn owls, the hares and the fox were a real bonus)

It was a delightful week wasn't it? A pleasure to meet you, certainly was a good group for our stay. But you really mustn't broadcast about it being a peaceful idyll we need to keep it to ourselves 😉
