Disappointed
Disappointed with this CL for a few reasons.
1. On arrival we struggled with the pitch allocated as it was sloping in two directions and impossible to get the awning to peg down. The caravan nose was on the ground and back legs fully extended. No one was home and neither phone number was answered when I called for advice re moving pitch. We attempted pitching three times then moved to the next pitch (4 pitches were empty). When the owner arrived home he said we couldn’t have the pitch we had chosen as it has been allocated for the following day, he somewhat grudgingly agreed for us to move another pitch saying he hadn’t had a complaint about the sloping field before. So after a 4.5 hour drive and 5 attempts to set up we finally unpacked.
2. We enjoy a good sunset but the view was spoiled by the industrial metal shed.
3. Dog friendly? Well that depends- yes they accept dogs and yes there is a walk around the field - with an electrified fence. There’s nowhere to let a dog exercise off lead.
4. Road noise and farm machinery spoil the tranquility we hoped for.
5. Uncollected grass cuttings were a real nuisance when wet - they stuck in clumps to shoes and paws and transferred into the caravan.
6. At no point did Sam bother to say hello to us - despite riding a horse opposite us every day.
7. Due to a family crisis at home on day 4 we had to leave, having paid for 7 nights we were refused any refund despite explaining the circumstances.
I’ve read the glowing reviews on here and cannot believe we stayed at the same place, we had a very different experience.
Horses for courses I guess.
On a positive note - The horses were beautiful as was the morning sunrise view.
