We have stayed at this site twice this year and did pre Covid. We were disappointed to read the previous reviews, and feel they are unfair to Lesley and Phillip who are providing a spot on CL. In our marks/ratings, they are reduced in some categories but this is due to the location of the CL - not the owners. It is not a picturesque CL but to say in middle of housing estate is not true. Within 5-10 mins if you choose the appropriate walk/cycle route you can be in the middle of delightful farmland and meadows.You are probably choosing this CL due it's convenient location of being near Hull, and therefore in a more urban location. You rarely get everything. You do have delightful trees and hedging around the site which are maturing over the years and softening the appearance of the site. There are horses in the paddock one one side, as well as the chickens. There is a railway line nearby but we enjoy seeing the trains go by. There is an electric sub station on far side of railway line (currently some construction works taking place but we were not disturbed by it), but this view is disappearing with the maturing trees. There is caravan storage next to site but again this is not unusual for CLs or intrusive. This is a hardstanding site with areas of grass which have naturally suffered in this year's warm Summer as it is a really lovely sunny site. The hardstanding can look harsh and the grass does merge into the hardstanding which I suppose some might see as weeds but again we feel it is very picky. If you want a manicured site go to the main sites and pay their fees. Obviously people's level of fitness vary, we certainly do not find it a 'hard slog' upto Cottingham. It is just over 1.5 miles and only a small stretch has no pavement, albeit it is narrow pavement and a busy road, it is an easy walk/cycle ride. Totally confused - wonder if we go to different place - regarding comments of trains. We have been both to Beverley and Hull on the train - so easy and frequent plus there are buses from top of lane too. As for taxi, considering most Hull taxi cover Cottingham as well, struggle to understand why so difficult to get one. With reference to 10 amp leccie, again we have never had an issue but seen people who are greedy and expect caravans/mohomes to be the same as a house in terms of electricity consumption with kettles, plasma TVs etc - you are camping so be realistic, and do not be unfair/blame the owners for your inability to moderate your usage. This is an excellent CL and we always have a delightful pleasant stay which is a credit to Lesley and Phillip. Lesley is so efficient and organised, her recycling is top class. She always welcomes us and is friendly and helpful. It's like a home from home.
