Last week we received a relaxed and friendly welcome on arrival. There was a choice of five hardstanding and five grass pitches. It is a very accessible site with a quiet field with horses in fenced off area. The hardstanding pitches are grouped around a barn/stable block. We had a very enjoyable week there although we did have one reservation. The water tap (sign ‘Drinking water’) and the area around it is used by the owners to clean the horses mucking out equipment. There isn’t a drain and the equipment is cleaned either beneath the tap or with a hosepipe. The owners leave the hosepipe connected after they have used it; this means members have to use both hands to disconnect it. While chatting to the owner I pointed out the hygiene implications regarding this area but she didn’t appear concerned and referred me to a second tap on the other side of the stable. When I found this tap but it wasn’t labelled and had an even dirtier hose connected to it. I wouldn’t have recorded these comments had I received a more positive comment to my observations. This problem could be easily and cheaply solved and then Herbert's Field would be a great CL.
