Ease of arrival/welcome

Stunning scenery, clean facilities, warm welcome.

Very easy to find CL as you just follow the signs for the 3 Counties Showground. Arrival is easy via the livery stables and the welcome more than warm. Can't remember every being welcomed by someone on a horse before! The view is to absolutely die for. The full-on Malvern Hills at their most stunning best and there is a bridleway directly opposite the site entrance that leads to Malvern Wells and access to the Hills for walkers/horse riders. I agree its a bit of a shame that all the electrics are along one side of the site so will take a longer mains lead next time. Luckily this didn't affect us this weekend and we had a front seat to the view. The CL is adjacent to the showground so probably gets booked up on certain weekends and it is an easy walk (bridleway continuing down the arrival road) to Hanley Swan and its lovely duck pond. Cycling in this area is not too bad either. The equestrian centre/livery stables were lively. There was show jumping on the Saturday and dressage on the Sunday. However, horses don't make a lot of noise and it was a pleasure to watch as the participants were mostly youngsters. The facilities were superbly clean but they are not necessarily exclusive to CL visitors when there are horse events ongoing. The upside of this is that there was some catering during the events - even Nutella paninis (no, we didn't try) - someone knows their market !!! All-in-all, will we return - absolutely - do we recommend - yes, so long as you don't make it full when we want to visit!
