Quite a pleasant site

As a Caravan and Motorhome Club member I had hoped to be able to book into the CL, but as it was fully booked at the time I was offered a pitch in a field. My review is based on that stay, but is relevant as, if fully booked, a member may well be offered this alternative. It also applies partly to the CL anyway. The field was as good as, if not better, than some dedicated CLs and has 16watt EHU. The downside is the not insignificant slope. The toilets, showers and toilet waste disposal were a short walk away down some uneven steps - if you are not-so-steady on your feet this could be an issue. The views of the surrounding area are excellent, but it should be remembered that it is a farm and consequently the outbuildings are not so elegant as the views! The access track is also fairly basic and a little rough until you reach the concrete 'driveway'. The road to the track is also quite bendy and is one track with occasional passing places - I shouldn't like to meet anything coming the other way whilst towing the caravan unless they are prepared to reverse. There are three caravan sites on this piece of road, so I imagine it happens! Regrettably I was not met, neither did I meet the owner as I believe he was away. My visit coincided with a substantial storm that lasted most of the night and gales remained the following day. It would have been nice if someone had been available to come round at some point just to check everything was OK. As it happens, whilst it was very noisy and bounced the caravan a bit, there were no problems other than someone's wind break being flattened - ironic really! In general it's a nice enough site - though as I was not there in the height of the season I cannot comment on the availability of the toilets and showers as there were no issues over the weekend I was there. Initially I thought the pitch was a little expensive at £18, but compared to alternative sites in the area this was a little cheaper than most.

I’m puzzled. If the site which holds an exemption certificate for 5 vans was fully booked, how could they take a 6th van without being in breach of their certification?

The CL is separated from another two fields - one for caravans etc and the other for tents. It is my understanding that as long as the CL is on its own and conforms to all the requirements of certification, there is nothing to prevent the owner from having other independently run facilities nearby. The toilets and showers are for the benefit of campers, but are available for use by Club members if they wish. There is a clear distinction between the CL and the other pitches and I was advised of this when I booked. My review is primarily not for the CL, but as access, location and facilities apply to both and as I was offered the pitch because, not only their CL but the other local sites, were all booked, I felt it would be helpful for members to have a review of the whole location. I don't believe there is a need to be puzzled.

In my experience this happens alot specially in peak season I have been to cl sites with 6 or 7 vans instead of the normal 5 luckily it has never affected me but it does happen.
