We have just spent a week at Carnbrae and have absolutely no complaints about this CL. We were made to feel very welcome by the owner, Andy, who was really helpful and is a font of local knowledge about the area. With regard to the site, which is in a picturesque setting, electricity is provided (16 Amp) and there is plenty of space between each grass pitch. There is no toilet/shower block, which was absolutely fine for us, as each pitch has its own water supply (providing, in effect, a serviced pitch). There are lovely walks surrounding the CL and Lyme Regis is only about 2 miles away. When going to Lyme Regis, we left our car on the village hall car park (free parking) in the village of Uplyme (a short drive away) and walked along the delightful riverside path down to Lyme Regis. The path has a good surface for the most part, with a fence running on both sides (which kept our two spaniels out of the river!), but take care and keep dogs and young children close as the path does cross a couple of 'b' roads along the way. If you don't fancy walking back up the path on your return, there is a regular bus service from Lyme Regis back up to Uplyme, (hourly basis, numbers 51 and 53). There is easy access to surrounding towns, which are a short drive away (eg, Bridport, Honiton, Charmouth, Exeter, Dorchester, etc). Carnbrae is one of the best, most relaxed CLs we have stayed on and we will be returning.

Simply the best
We have just spent 1 week here (we wish it could have been longer) first time apprehension disappeared within an hour, its just a superb site.
Andy keeps a low profile but you know he is available if you need him.
People have mentioned about the access being narrow on the final approach, well thats what CLs are all about, this one isnt a problem in any way.
UTOPIA !
THANKS ANDY.

Peace perfect peace
We have recently enjoyed a five day stay at this extremely peaceful sight. It was our first Cl but won't be our last. The site was easy to find, spacious and extremely peaceful. Andy was welcoming but not intrusive and gave us some good local advice. The sight was clean tidy and well managed. The addition of individual water taps was a bonus of course. The local area is beautiful with lots of nice places to explore. We spent a lot of time on the coast which was really close by. All in all a fabulous stay despite some torrential downpours at times. We hope to come again sometime.

Spacious & Peaceful
The site is large, level and screened from a quiet road. Andy the owner was helpful and informative. Situated high above Lyme Regis it is very peaceful site, although like most country sites there is the occasional tractor. You can see the sea, just, but walk down the road a short way and you can have wonderful views towards Lyme. Access to Forestry Commission land can be gained from a nearby track, ideal for dog walks. Being a large field and having a water tap at each pitch is a bonus. Only downside are narrow roads when arriving & departing but we did not find it a problem.
Recomended.

Lovely CL
Lovely CL quiet and peaceful. Very friendly owner. Water and electric at each pitch which is priceless. We had a wonderful time walking and visiting the area. We would use the site again and recommend it without hesitation.

Perfect location
Stayed for 5 nights at the end of September. Loads of room and Andy could not have been more welcoming and helpful. My wife and daughter had a great time exploring the area whilst I was learning some skills at River Cottage HQ, a pleasant 15 min walk from the site. Would definitely use this site again.

Peace & Quiet!
Stayed for 10 nights on this fabulous CL at the beginning of August. Pitches were very spacious each with their own electric hook up and fresh water - which is always a bonus! We set up and were welcomed by Andy. He gave us some info of places of interest to visit and told us to give him a ring if we needed anything - very friendly. The site was extremely quiet - being on a narrow lane away from the main roads. At night it was extremely dark - excellent for star watching - especially the shooting stars! We walked into Lyme Regis from the site - which was a couple of miles - all downhill! We fortunately had a lift back up to the site, as I wouldn't fancy the long uphill walk back - especially given that we had fantastic weather - far too hot for uphill walking! At just £15 a night for what is in effect a super pitch it is excellent value for money. We would certainly return if we visit the Lyme Regis area again.
What a lovely pleasant quiet site
We only live just over 10 minutes away, but this was the perfect location for us to spend a few days unwinding. Andy is a very helpful and friendly person, he checked we were OK a few times, an even had the consideration to stop mowing the grass while we were on the site. He actually asked us if we didn't mind if he finished off cutting the grass in the adjacent field. What a gent!
Lovely place, nice flat pitches, and so so so quiet! Perfect!
We will return.
Thanks,
Stuart and Cathy
