Has lots of potential

This site certainly has lots of potential for being a five star site however a couple of things let it down. We stayed end of May for four nights with our three dogs and two birth caravan. ARRIVAL: Make sure you do your homework on how to access the site as it's quite far down country lanes to access the site. We didn't have any trouble towing along the lanes but I imagine it would be fun meeting a lorry or any large farm machinery! My recommendation is drive along the A272 and then turn off onto "New Road". Turn left onto "Upperton Road". turn left onto Westlands Copse Lane (there's a sign post saying river common). This lane is very narrow but it's only used for access to houses so there's not much traffic. Drive along Westlands Copse Lane and the site is on the right hand side marked with a caravan and motorhome club sign. No problem with the access into the field. SITE: the site is wonderful! It's an extremely large L shaped field probably 2 acres. The views from the site are beautiful. There's is basically no traffic noise except from the odd vehicle accessing the houses at the end of the lane. There are no marked pitches so it's basically pitch up where you fancy. I like the concept of this but a regular user arrived and told us we parked in their favourite space so literally set up on our backside, I asked if they could park a little further away but she refused to move and said she comes to the site often and we were in her favourite spot, to give you a rough idea she parked 2/3 meters away despite the rest of the 2 acre site being completely empty!!! They were that close my husband said we might as well cook them dinner too. I think this site would be much better if the pitches were numbered to stop everyone clustering ontop of each other, or to stop the motorhomes parking ontop of the water tap and permanently plugging directly into the drinking water tap. FACILITIES: this is a minimal basic site which is lovely for an off grid trip. All the facilities are located at the far end of the field. There is one drinking water tap, one brown (poo) tap, recycling bin, general waste bin. The casette emptying is interesting! Definitely one to let the husband do... It was very full with lots of 'floaties' and is essentially a half buried bin in the ground. WALKING: lovely area for dog walking, there's alot of deer running around. OWNER: the site could really benefit from the owner doing a little bit of management. During our stay we saw the owner once emptying the bins. I tried to contact the owner prior to and on my arrival but I didn't get any answer. It would be lovely if the owners could manage the spacing between the pitches to stop you gaining uninvited guests!!! (The campervan that parked up our backside) and to just pop his head around to check their are no problems. I probably would return to the site again but my husband is not so sure due to the lack of management of the pitch spacing.
