We stayed for a few nights on this site in September 2014 and found it very noisy owing to the ongoing construction work on the Oxford-Bicester railway line which runs adjacent. There's a constant loud hissing noise which sounds like water being use to clean gravel (possibly track ballast?) which comes from a large marquee-like structure next to the Orchard. They work at weekends as well as during the week. This is a venison farm with lots of deer which also add to the noise level. The owner didn't seem very friendly and there's dog poo all over the place because he doesn't clear up after his own two dogs have "performed". Doubt we'll ever use it again.

Comment from The Club:

The CL owners have been in touch as they are concerned about your comments and would like to address any issues raised as they want guests to have the best possible time at their site. As you can see from previous reviews, they always try and be friendly and helpful, with a warm welcome to guests, many of whom return again and again. They are sorry you did not feel this was the case. They would like to apologise for the noise from the railway workings, a factor unfortunately out of their control. The deer are not normally noisy so they were surprised to read your comments and can only assume it was the beginning of the mating season and the stags in the fields were trying to attract the female hinds with their roaring! This is usually only an intermittent noise, similar, for example, to cows mooing. They are again sorry if this disturbed you, however they do make it clear to guests that the site is a working farm and as such farm animal noises may be heard. With regards to dog mess, the CL owners have one dog of their own, who is kept under supervision at all times. They are particularly fussy about picking up after their dog and deliberately keep away from exercising her on either of their two CL sites when guests are staying. To support this point, they also give out an information sheet to guests on arrival, with particular notice being given to dog owners to be aware of other guests on site, and to ‘clear up’ after their dogs. I hope this helps address your concerns and thank you again for leaving a review.
