Extended Bank Holiday stay

We've recently returned from an 11 night stay here culminating over August Bank Holiday and what a lovely place to stay! We were slightly confused by the directions but a google earth/maps view can easily spot the location and access is very straight forward. But do try and avoid accessing through the village of Kineton with its very narrow and twisting roads with loads of parked cars. Arriving and departing from the south, we found J13 of the M40 the best option The field is lawned and neatly finished off with a few fruit trees and geraniums in pots offering a wonderful view over fields in the foreground and hills beyond (pitches spaces marked out during semi-lockdown). The field is on a gentle slope and levelling blocks would be useful. We didn't need them but others on site did. The water point and CDP are easily accessible towards the farmhouse side of the field whilst the bins (including recycling) at the top by the entrance. It is on a working farm and there are also some holiday lets on-site, as well as a large rally field which was being used whilst we were there so it isn't the quietest site. However, none of that stopped us from having an incredibly relaxing stay with the kids which is quite something given the fact we like quiet sites, and actually a little activity adds some interest. There are so many walks directly from the site through fields offering wonderful views meaning you don't have to travel off-site to get out and about even though there are several National Trust properties and Burton Dassett Country Park all within a few minutes drive. There was some very heavy rain during our stay but the site drains well. However, we had to be towed off the field by a kind and friendly neighbour in the adjacent pitch as the grass was very greasy and I couldn't grip it as we don't have a 4x4. Re-reading that, the review sounds a bit negative but our stay was really was great. I suppose I've just highlighted a few small glitches - in fact, we were surprised that there were plenty of nights when the site was far from full with us being the only ones on site some nights! We are definitely looking forward to returning and is on our shortlist of top sites!
