Peaceful and quiet - a perfect CL

We are so pleased that we chose Moorland Farm CL, just wish we had stayed longer than 2 weeks! We arrived in the most horrendous downpour of rain and then hail, but even so Jane came out to welcome us and show us our pitch. We had a beautiful spot, right by the lake and sheltered by trees. We set up our bird feeders and woke every morning to bird song and lots of birds on the feeders. During our 2 week stay we saw 28 different birds, including Barn and Little owls (heard!), long tailed tits, green and great spotted woodpeckers, buzzards, so many goldfinches, herons, kestrels and even a kingfisher. We even had a visit from deer, which could also be seen in the field opposite. The site is ideally located for visiting places of interest such as Brean Down & Sands, Clevedon Pier and Portishead which were both lovely, Tyntesfield and we enjoyed a walk around Cheddar reservoir followed by a visit to lovely Axbridge. Maunsel Lock, Barrow Mump and Stanton Drew stone circles are great for a walk, as well as Burrington Combe where you can see the Rock of Ages and peek into Avelines Hole, where bones of lynx and wolves were found. Don't miss the Helicopter Museum at Weston Super Mare - it was fantastic, and the tickets can be reused within a year, so excellent value. The cooked breakfast in the cafe was fantastic, and there are books for sale which are a bargain! What really makes this CL, besides the wonderful scenery around the lakes and the peace & quiet, are the owners, Jane and Steve. They were so nice and helpful, with Steve always ready to help with advice about fishing and Jane keeping the toilets and shower immaculately clean - and I don't think I have ever seen such a clean and tidy recycling / waste area! If we hadn't already sent in our CL of the Year form, Moorland Farm would have had our vote, and we will definitely be returning. Thank you, Jane and Steve, for a wonderful stay.
