This is a decent CL, the grounds are well maintained and it is well located for local attractions and places to visit. We were pleased with the facilities, particularly a shower room/ wc and a separate wc as well and the price is decent value at £18.00 per night but we felt that the owner had lost interest.
We had to self-select our pitch and had to hope we got it right; there was no warm welcome and no answer at the house door. In fact, contact with the owners was non-existent until the second day of our stay and we waved him down when he was cutting the grass. The toilet and shower building is accessed is by stairs only and this is a little awkward when carrying a cassette since the chemical disposal point is here as well. The basin in the shower room/ wc has no hot water. Just outside the wc in the lobby there is a sink for hand washing and I wondered if this is also a dishwashing sink but the drainer is obstructed with an information leaflet display.
Finally, on the shower room etc, there were no covid-safe measures; no hand gel or similar and there were items in the shower room that should have been removed such as furry cushions and a woollen rug. We had to take our own toilet rolls with us for the first couple of days and there were no loo-brushes.
Outside, near the gate, is the grey-water disposal point is no more than a gully next to a fence and I found it impossible to shoot more than a fraction of my waste-master contents into the drain.
One last thing just to be aware of, the turn left into Port Arthur Farm is a bit tight.
On balance, I was a little disappointed given the ranking awarded this CL in 2016.
