Second time on this CL but the first time was just a 1 night stopover in dreadful conditions. This time we stayed for 5 nights on this conveniently situated CL, about 3 miles from the A49 ring road around Shrewsbury. It's located at the top left hand corner of a Nursery. Entrance is wide and straightforward and your pitch allocated when booking, which is confirmed in a text together with the code for the barrier gates (locked when Nursery closes) and free wifi password. All pitches are separated by Laurel hedges and are deep, although the hardstanding doesn't extend all the way to the back. Each pitch has water and EHU with waste water into the hedge. There is a single large waste bin at the entrance to the CL. Also a Caravan/Motorhome storage facility. The nursery, shop and cafe are about 100 metres away across a car park and the Elsan emptying point contained in a shed near to the shared toilet block (no shower). Elsan is waist high. Owners son tends to call to make sure all is well and we paid by Bank Transfer.
The CL is convenient for Shrewsbury and its environs. There is a nearby P&R into the town centre, next to the large Tesco in the Harlescott district. Apologies but forgot to ask about whether local buses stop outside CL.
Whilst the wifi is free we did find it occasionally dipped out but it wasn't for long. TV should be fine. Phone signal for both EE and Three were good.There was no disturbance from the road or surrounding area. Couldn't see a suitable long dog walk but the area around the CL should be fine for immediate needs. A bonus is a Caravan/Motorhome wash area, provided mainly for storage, but could be used. Sited within 10 metres of the CL.
So why a Rarity? The price hasn't increased this last year or so despite every business being affected by increased energy costs and for £17 per night it's a bargain for a Serviced, Hardstanding and hedged pitch.
We'll use it again.
