We visited The Grange during Storm Kieron, so were very grateful of the pool house to shelter in while my intrepid husband did all the setting up, only takes about half an hour, but was challenging in those weather conditions! Having unlimited access to a heated indoor pool was so brilliant, I confess that the grown ups found the water a bit chilly but our 12 year old loved it and went in at least once a day. The pool is approx 12m long, 5 m wide and 1.5 m at the deep end, access is down shallow end steps. We made full use of the free showers in the pool house as our 80s van doesn't have such luxuries. The water in the showers was hot and plentiful .
Anyone who has noticed from Google earth that there is a pet crematorium and funeral service on-site need not be concerned as this is not noticeable on the site itself, you do occasionally see sad families walking along the drive but that is all.
The site itself is quite long and narrow, we were a little close to other caravans, there wasn't a great deal of space to spread out. Behind you is an old red brick wall and in front fields, plenty of horses and geese about which I imagine young children would enjoy looking at. Not a lot of interesting walks from the site, long straight lanes between farms, we couldn't find any footpaths. As it was rainy this didn't bother us, we used the car to explore the area.
Our Escape Site!
We have been to this site twice now, and love it! It is in the middle of the countryside with plenty of walks. Views are great across the paddocks and bird watching is a must. Lovely indoor pool which is all part of the cost, and a really clean and well looked after small site. The Owners are really nice and very helpful if you need it, but are not pushy at all. It is a working farm so be prepared to see tractors and the workings of a normal farm, but it all adds to the charm of country life. We highly recommend this site.
Peaceful overlooking farmland
Lovely site, we have visited many times worth going back too. do follow instructions to get here your first time.
Nice peaceful site.
In the middle of a family farm community, good access, peaceful, friendly and helpful owner. Heated indoor pool means showers and toilets are warm, clean and spacious. Rare for a CL! Only reason for 4 stars is that pitch width is limited. If full, and all "campers" are sensible, and park in front of the pitches (most did when we were there) not really much problem. As mentioned by others, water and waste positions could be better. Overall, good choice for a quiet holiday. We'll be back!
The Grange - thumbs up
Grange Farm is a wonderfully quiet site, set in rural countryside. Owner makes you feel welcome & described the facilities well. Positioning of water & waste utilities could be better as the standpipe for fresh water is on the rear of pitch 5 but this does not detract too much from the overall benefits of the site. Showers & toilets immaculately kept, and there is the use of an indoor heated pool.
It can,t get much better than this
The grange is a fantastic CL. It has all that you need plus the use of an indoor pool.We have just spent two weeks there,haven't stayed there before and we weren't disappointed. Fantastic wildlife. Very peaceful great sunsets. Highly recommend this CL
