Good CL, but we did not choose the ideal week!

We only had a few days' notice that this CL was having electrical work done during our stay and we decided to shorten our visit, rather than move to the adjacent CL partway through. Even so, we did have a digger working very close to our pitch part of the time, so it wasn't as peaceful as usual (we've been here before). We did not see the owners at all but arrival information was comprehensive and this CL is well run, clean and secure with a code entry gate at night. I feel it is worth making readers away that it does take a good 30 minutes to get to the centre of Bristol from the CL, which is worth bearing in mind if you plan to go in and out several times. The electrical work was to convert the hook-up bollards to a coin-operated, pay-as-you-go system for electricity on the pitch. Personally, this would only appeal to us if the pitch price was significantly reduced to reflect that the rate was no longer all-inclusive, but it may not be an issue for anyone else.

Dear PJ PA

I am very sorry that your visit coincided with the installation of our meters, we wanted to do the work after the rush of summer visitors and prior to the onset of winter, and were led by the availability of the electrician, who unfortuately gave short notice of his arrival.

Please be assured that the work is now complete and the site is peaceful again.

Our pitch fee is £20/night which we feel is fair for our site and location, it allows individuals to pay for electicity used, rather than the alternative which would be a rise in nightly pitch price to cover increased costs.  I have worked hard to agree a competitive price per kwh for our visitors.

The drive time to Cabot Circus shopping area (Bristol City Centre) is currently showing 19 minutes on Google maps, I can confirm this is a realistic time, out of rush hour. 

I hope we will see you again but understand if you prefer to stay at all inclusive sites.

Annalisa, Hortham Farm CL
