Space, Scenery & Special Places

We were looking for a spacious CL close to so much of what West Dorset has to offer and this was quite a find. Access is easy - just off the B3157 between Portesham & Chickerell and the site is spacious, flat and has the backdrop of the rolling hills in this part of Hardy Country. Keith and his wife were helpful from the moment we arrived. The hardstanding area is huge, but I would be fearful if you had the misfortune of an inconsiderate member not respecting your space as spaces are not explicitly marked out. We were told we could position our van to suit our requirements, so our awning was on grass and there was an abundance of space for our children to utilise for games and flying a kite. The main field is huge and even full (as it was when we were there) there's a generous amount of space. The security on the gate leading to the property is a great advantage. Yes, some may find it inconvenient having to use a security tag to open and close the gates but if, like us, you leave a BBQ, bikes and toys outside your caravan it's nice to know no one can just wander in. The wifi was an added bonus as I had some work to sort whilst on site and I found it super reliable. The fully serviced pitches work well and water pressure is good as is drainage. The Elsan point is a proper set up too. There is a little road noise but nothing too intrusive and it's handy being so close to the road knowing within a few minutes you can be in Weymouth, pop along to Abbotsbury or head into the delightful village of Portesham. We walked to the Hardy Monument and explored the beauty of the area. There's a farm shop just a minute or so down the road towards Portesham and whilst a little costly they have some fabulous produce. I had a nice chat with Keith and he's a charming guy. We were sad to leave as the kids really wanted to stay - and that speaks volumes. We'll be back! Highly recommended.
