I wonder if we've now been spoiled.
It was a very impressive first experience of staying at a CL.
On the phone and on arrival the owners were charming, easygoing and very helpful. We really enjoyed our stay there. The field itself is huge, set into farmland and very peaceful. The toilet and shower room was very well appointed and always clean (and good to know there was another loo, too). There was a large separate space for children to play.
We are reluctant cyclists (we often take our bikes on our trips and end up bringing them home unused) but we did get out on them this time and enjoyed our venture into Ely (about 2 or so miles each way). We had drives out to Downham Market (where we found Downham Fryers to be a fantastic chippie with a large seating area and very friendly staff) and the Wiken Fen National Trust site. We had a very good Thai meal at the Plough at the far end of the village and were glad of the convenience store that was open till 10pm every day.
I am a soft-touch for anthing cake related and was delighted with the two gorgeous cupcakes that Andy brought out to us as we were packing up to leave.
I can only hope that the bar hasn't now been set too high for us for CL visits in the future.
