Great - if you're a mountain goat!

This site is, indeed, quiet and peaceful. However, what they fail to tell you is that the approach lane is a good half mile of single track road with high-sided hedgerows, and no suitable passing places to accommodate a car and caravan. Whilst the entrance is adequate (the usual gate size), it is very awkward to negotiate because of the width of the lane, so entering and leaving with a caravan requires some skill! And then there's the slope - the owners' explanation in the club sites book states it is 'part-sloping', which is untrue - it is all on a very steep bank. We spent at least 2 hours trying to site the caravan and get it level, and although we had chocks and blocks, they weren't enough. Not what you want when you've been driving some way and all you want is to get set up and put the kettle on! Unfortunately, our experience was worsened by the fact that when we arrived, we were caravan number SEVEN, on a site for five vans, meaning there was no hook-up available. On enquiry with other caravan owners, it appeared one caravan was planning to leave, but not for another several hours (ie tea-time - what?), so we eventually got fed up and went out for a drive. Fortunately on our return, that caravan had left, so a hook-up was available. However, six caravans were on the site the whole time we were there, and having booked and paid a deposit months earlier, we were a bit miffed by our experience. The site owner is at the farm way back at the entrance to the lane, meaning a long walk or a ride in the car, and when we called, an elderly gentlemen was the only person available, who didn't know anything about the site. I would not recommend this site, unless you're an intrepid traveller! I would certainly not return.
