A Really Well Run CL

Before reviewing the CL I thought I would let those people who are regulars know that Tom, one half of the ownership, has unfortunately passed away. This was our first visit and I have to say that in all my years using CLs I have never been given more comprehensive instructions for arrival or for that matter information about the CL itself. Very professionally done and received with much gratitude. No need for me to expand of arrivals etc. Just read the documents sent to you upon booking. We paid a 1 night deposit and the balance 2-3 weeks before arrival. Your pitch number is allocated but all pitches are fine. Mostly flat with shale and stone as a base core with grass between pitches. Good room between them as well. All pitches are fully serviced, including an individual drain. No M/Home drive over grid that I could see. WiFi is included in the price. You'll have to log on each day. Fairly good signal, as was the phones for EE and Smarty. Electric is 16A but there is some metering. 12kw per day is allowed within your daily allowance but charged above that at the going rate for the farm, currently £0.50 per kw above the 12 allowed. Your meter is zeroed at the start of your stay and you fill in a form at the end showing your final reading. In Summer we used just over 5kw per day. Recycling bins. Elsan is at ground level into drains. The site has a lovely rural vista and is generally a quiet place with one caveat. Namely the flight path for planes for Birmingham Airport. There is no escaping the fact that in Summer the frequency of them is greatly increased and disruption for light sleepers is inevitable. There are large parts of the day when no activity takes place at all. The CL was handy for getting to Coventry, Kenilworth, Warwick and we were also able to walk into Balsall Common from site. The owner provides walks and information with dog walks on as well. These also from site. A small information hut contains details. Unfortunately it seems the local "stop outside the CL" bus timetables are being altered at the end of August '23. These will now be just rush hour. Excellently placed for the NEC, there is a train station at local Berkswell for those not wishing to drive. All in all a well run CL.
