We were made very welcome and really enjoyed our stay almost as much as our 2 dogs who had a good time with Bertie and lots of freedom. Well done Jenny and Peter for making our stay so enjoyable ,we will def. be back
A lovely welcome
We stayed for 3 nights in February and received a very warm welcome - hot really as lovely cups of tea were brought over to us as we set up! Jenny and Peter are perfect hosts and Bertie played his part too by looking after our puppy. The drive into Bristol is easy but as we weren't on a sightseeing trip we didn't see much else. I can recommend the Golden Heart in Winterbourne for a good meal out. We will definitely go back :-)
Please stay longer
Follow the how to find us instructions and you will find this newish (1year old) superb cl.
The welcome is great Bertie the dog keeps guard and even took our dog for a walk in his tea break
We would recommend this site to anyone, lots of local walks, country drives, local pubs, and of course Bath and Bristol on the doorstep if you like that sort of thing.
We will visit again soon
ideal stopover or visiting Bristol
checked out this site a month before our visit in dry sunny conditions. it seemed ideal for our object of visiting family etc, Just before our visit, after some very heavy rain, we were kindly phoned by Jenny to ensure we had a 4x4 as the field entrance had turned into mud-bath. Although there were some hardstandings, we were on grass, the field stood up well to vehicle traffic, with only the access getting muddy. The site was perfectly situated for our needs with the noise from the motorway failing to prevent us getting a good nights sleep. The only downside was the damp/misty/wet weather, but then no-one controls that & it was Autumn in Britain. I hope the weather is better when we return.
Great site for Bristol and surrounding areas and close to m5 & m4
We stayed for one night at this site in early September. Jenny, Peter and Bertie the dog could not have been more hospitable. The site if flat, in a lovely grass paddock. Very child friendly and it is clear that the site is well cared for and looked after. As other reviews mention there is some noise from the motorway, but after a few minutes we didn't really notice it - definitely not a reason to stay away.
New CL good for Bristol, Bath etc
This CL is new this year. Peter and Jenny (and Bertie the dog) are very welcoming and willing to help. We first stayed there during the very wet weather in early July and were impressed by how dry the site was. It is at the top of a hill and therefore well drained. There is both hardstanding and grass, which is kept very tidy by the owners. Access to the site is excellent with a long pull-in off the road before you get to a padlocked gate.
There are lots of walks from the site and there are some lovely views across the hills. Villages, lovely houses and good pubs are all round.
The only drawback to this site is that it sits above the motorway and, consequently, there is some road noise. However, as with all the other noises around these days, we got very used to it and after a day or so it was just a rumble in the background. We were never kept awake at night.
We have been to this site twice and will return ; it is just so convenient and pleasant.
