I will start by saying although this was not for us it may suit you well, but, beware. The access is on a hill near a bend and if you are in the same side of the road as the access this is dangerous. Drive on, turn around and come back. The entrance track is small and a tight turn at the end. If you are towing this could be tricky if you don’t get it right first time! Once in you will likely have difficulty turning and siting and of course leaving again. The site owner greeted us promptly and provided information which was useful. The fresh water area was set amongst the owners vehicle parking area so I’m glad we filled up at our last site as this too would have been a problem. This is not a rural site. It is a small area of land hidden between several plots bordered by a railway,a road and the gardens. We had the neighbour doing diy gardening with power tools punctuated by trains passing. The area is very residential but set along a busy road. There likely are amenities nearby depending upon what you want. I cannot comment on these. We like piece, quiet, scenic, privacy etc and this was none of those. Pitches are small patchy rough land bordered by a hacked down verge akin to a railway siding. The pub nearby is very walkable and does pub classics at 2 for £10.95. Also on the busy main road. We did not visit but I suspect most do as it’s very convenient. We did the mile walk to the beach which is fine but it crossed a very busy road with no crossing points. If you are slower on your feet or are carrying kids and kit to the beach this could be dangerous too. The beach walk was lovely with path options, the castle etc. This may be a good site for local amenities but there are so much nicer sites to visit. I would recommend that you look around a little further.
Response from the Club
Many thanks for leaving a review. The CL Owner has been in touch as they work extremely hard to ensure everyone has a wonderful time at their site. The beach is through a wood and a mile walk. There is one road to cross but they have never had members raise any concern with this previously. The site is Adult only so no risk of Children crossing the road from the site. The bus stop is 100 yards away.
We have also spoken to the CL Advisor who has advised there should be no issues with spacing or turning and that the site is very popular with many returning members.
The site is located on a listed lane which serves 4 to 5 properties. The lane is not the CL Owner’s responsibility as the residents in the lane are responsible for their own hedges/fencing and also verges. Please be assured that the hedges do not obstruct any view on either entering or leaving the lane. The bridge has recently been inspected and cleared of vegetation by the appropriate authority and is their responsibility. In the past, signs have been removed from the end of the lane after approximately 1 week. Please be assured though detailed directions are in the Club Sites Directory and Handbook and on the Club website so the site should not be difficult for members to find.
