We have just spent 10 days at this lovely cl .If you want peace and quiet then this is the place to go. We had no problems with too many vans on site in fact we were the only ones on there for some of the time. The facilities are basic but adequate with plenty of hot water. CLs do not have to provide a shower, let alone a loo so we always see those that do as a bonus ,as long as they are clean .We will be back for some more relaxation and cycling in this lovely part of the world.
Booked in for 12 night at the start of the year and so was extremely disappointed when we turned up and there were nine (9) occupied units on the site already. This is the reason for only one tick for ease of arrival/welcome.
This is a beautiful site with loads of room but with all these extra units on the site the choice of where to pitch was very limited. And by the Tuesday there were eleven (11) occupied units on the site!!!!
By the weekend this was down to 5 but there was also one unoccupied unit that was taking up one of the prime locations. This unit was not occupied for the rest of the time we were there - there are vans stored on the farm so why this one was not moved whilst not being used is a mystery.
Facilities consist of one toilet and one shower but this is nowhere near enough when you have that many people on the site - and they are starting to look a little tired.
The site's own website states that there is free wifi but this is very slow and only available if you are near to the farm building. Virtually no mobile signal for either EE (surprise) or 3 and only slight signal for O2. TV signal is also flaky.
Whilst the site is over 2 acres your choice of pitch is limited by the positioning of the EHUs and whilst we were told there were extension leads stored in the barn, these were all being used by the extra vans already on the site, again severely restricting where we could pitch. Only one fresh water tap for the whole site.
A friendly farm dog is great but when they start coming into your awning unannounced and leaving 'messages' around the field that are not cleared up, it sets a poor example for those who do have dogs of their own.
I would agree with other reviewers and think that this site has the potential to be a great one but for us it was spoiled by the owner allowing far too many vans on the site and the knock on effect that this has on the facilities and availability of pitches - we will not be returning.
Visited in May 2013. All the good things written in earlier reviews are true. The peace of the site only broken by birdsong and the geese. Delightful open aspect field, the pictures on the site website do not do it justice.
Friendly, humorous, charming owner. Many very good flat walks from the beautiful villages nearby. Helpful maps, walks and local info in the bathroom area. Highly recommended - we shall be back.
