Absolutely lovely

This was our first CL and will certainly not be our last. We were originally due to stay here for three nights, however, we liked it so much we ended up staying nine!! The site, which is set behind the owners cottage (which is absolutely beautiful), is large, well looked after and cared for. It is run by a lovely family who were friendly and always happy to help from the moment we arrived. This CL is situated in a great location to visit Ludlow, Shrewsbury, Long Mynd (Fish and chips on the top of Long Mynd is a must!) and Church Stretton. There is a pub at the top of the lane which we didn't get a chance to visit, but looked lovely. Definitely next time! Lovely and we will be sure to visit again!

Friday night retreat found.

Beautiful, peaceful and relaxed site. Owners could not be more welcoming and helpful. Even had spare extension leads. This will be our retreat for a Friday afternoon when finishing work.

Lovely site

Spent a couple of days at this relaxing and peaceful site. No fuss and choice of pitches. The hardstanding pitch had been reserved for us if we wanted it. Just lovely to get away from it all. Short walk to main road for bus route between Ludlow and Shrewsbury. Bus stops by the Plough Public House. Church Stretton 10 minutes ride away. On the retainer list.

a gem

This is a great little cl, owners very welcoming, spacious and facilities spot on.access to the site is good,the last bit is single track but straight and plenty of pull off areas. excellent dog walk just up the road.there are plenty of good footpaths near the site but be aware the stiles are not dog friendly so if you have a big dog be prepared to lift it over stiles. we found the roads quiet for walking on and the Glass and Bottle is a must for visit, open for lunches.our first visit to this cl and we will be back for a longer stay

Scenic Shropshire

We've just spent a wonderful Easter weekend at this site. Very easy to find, but the lanes very narrow, we found leaving Sunday morning difficult due to the local congregation parking on grass verges in order to attend the Easter Sunday service. Some stressful manoeuvres ensured we got out scratch free. The site itself is very tranquil, the owners very friendly and lots of leaflets available on local walks and places of interest. We did feel a little overlooked, but you could turn your unit so that you looked on to fields rather than neighbouring vans. Excellent EHU and great TV reception. Ludlow is a must, and for real ale lovers, has plenty of very dog friendly pubs selling locally brewed ale. We walked along Carding Mill Valley, which was well worth the £3.60 car parking. Although very busy, we were able to find solitude higher up the valley. The local pub, the plough looks very nice, but does have limited opening hours. We ventured further afield to The Bottle and Glass. Beautiful period building, but the very narrow lanes and high hedgerows made the journey there and back somewhat hazardous. Locals do tend to fly round corners, I wouldn't advise walking on these lanes, especially at night. I would recommend, for anyone who just wants to relax and enjoy the best of the Shropshire countryside.

So relaxing

Our first time to Castle Hill and will NOT be our last. Very welcoming hosts, friendly and relaxed with no rules which is our perfect kind of site. The field is long and the grass is cut regularly and collected, with little bays for each caravan. No one is near to each other so there is plenty of space. Not sure where the views of the hills are as a previous reviewer mentioned as all you are looking at is a field with sheep and you are in a kind of dip with trees all around. We think the site is very central to many places of interest and certainly a haven for walkers like us, the walk to the top of the Mynd starting at Carding Mill valley in Church Stretton is worth the climb. Do look in the clear plastic tub near the bins as it is filled with walks and places of interest. Shropshire is so beautiful and green at this time of year. We ate out 3 times locally, had a wonderful meal at the Glass & Bottle at Picklescott also the second best was the Green Dragon at Little Stretton, an ok one was the Horseshoes at Dorrington when the very friendly hostess asked if the meal was ok I told her it was cold and the chicken chewy, my partners gammon was also a little chewy, she offered to change it but I couldn't be bothered to wait for another meal, when we went to pay they had knocked off my meal even though I ate it all, which is very good service, so maybe this is a bit on and off but would still recommend it as its a lovely pub on the inside. Avoid the take-away Chinese called the New Ruby in Church Strettton, dreadful.

By a babbling brook!

This site is so easy to find and access and we were made very welcome by Heather and Dominic! The brook attracted many birds some of which I haven't seen for years, living in Suffolk with it's intensive farming. The Three Tuns Brewery pint was the best my husband has ever tasted, and the accompanying Sunday Lunch in the Horseshoes at Bridge was equally delicious. Clun is very picturesque and a friendly man showed us the old forge he has on his property! The Long Mynd is spectacular and we enjoyed walking ther and at Stiperstones. Shrewsbury was a interesting as I had imagined with little allies, nooks and crannies to discover. We thoroughly enjoyed our week on this lovely site and plan to return again. The only downside was that there were 3 dogs in one of the caravans which were allowed to poo at random . Not very nice to see when one is eating one's breakfast. However, Julian picked it up on a shovel and left it where the owners could see it, and they eventually picked it up. This was not the fault of the site owners nor of the dogs, but of the owners.

Great time with friends

We arrived in dry weather but lots of rain had fallen previous to our stay so the ground was very wet however the owner was extremely friendly and helpful and allowed both our friends and us to park nose to nose motorhomes on the hardstanding.While we were there it rained lots but we also had some sunshine.We had a good time with our friends found plenty of places to walk and frequented the local The Pound pub and eventually found The Bottle and Glass both welcoming pubs.
