An owner who goes the extra mile (and a half)

What a lovely CL ! Pam and her son James work tirelessly to maintain and improve on what is already a truly excellent CL. You are greeted by Pam on your arrival and usually have a choice of several large pitches all with 16 amp electricity, tables, chairs and flower beds. There is a mobile home (Partially hidden behind flowers and shrubs) which has numerous tourist guides / maps / books and a shower and toilet plus washing facilities. There is also a small shop within containing ‘emergency rations – including chocolate’ all of which are paid for by an honesty box. A sign of a most trusting site owner and, hopefully, not abused by her guests! The site itself is most attractively laid out with various flower beds, ornaments, LED light fittings, tables and chairs. Indeed when we arrived James was assembling a twin seat and table which he brought across to us later that day. We were not expecting this as we already had a table near our water connection point! One of the attractions of the CL are the alpacas including a baby alpaca which kept us amused by its daily antics! We should also mention the BBQ hut which can be used as a meeting point by the guests – unfortunately health and safety prevent this from being used as a BBQ. At night time the CL is lit up by dozens of LED lights which makes the setting quite magical. Credit to both Pam and James who asked us for any suggestions or advice on how they could improve on what is already a winning formula. They genuinely care about their CL and those who use it. And the reason for this review being entitled “An owner who goes the extra mile (and a half)” ? At 10.00 pm on the day of our arrival Pam received a call from a caravanner who was unsure how to find the CL. Pam immediately got into her car, found the caravanner and guided them back to the CL. Where would you expect such commitment? My advice to anyone visiting the CL is to follow the directions shown on the Caravan Club / Manor Farm Caravan Park page and NOT a sat nav. The CL is reasonably easy to find, assisted by additional Caravan Club CL signs (At additional expense to them!) put up by Pam / James to help reassure their guests that they are heading in the right direction. The entry to the CL is relatively easy even for a large twin axle caravan such as ours but please do not run over the flower beds! We are truly amazed that this CL has not been awarded ‘Caravan Club CL of the year’ as it is truly a first class CL and remarkable on what they have achieved in the short time since they opened. We know who we will be voting for in this year’s competition and hope they get the recognition they deserve. Our only concern …..will they still have space to accommodate our outfit when we next visit Somerset?
