Good for families

Definitely no peace and quiet

Visited this site for the first time for a weekend visit with friends celebrating a birthday.Positives are the site has good flat pitches and good access and good clean facilities onsite. Downside was the peace and quiet.From 10.00am on Sunday morning the wardens decided to petrol strim the hedges between pitches.Warden wore ear defenders,it was a pity we all couldn't be supplied with the same. No one could hear each other speak.First occasion went on for 40 minutes of constant stimming until 1040am then stopped. A short while later we left the site to go walking returning early afternoon .After being back for a few minutes they started again on the hedges on the next pitch along.No point sitting outside as the noise was horrendous.Appreciate site maintenance has to be done but a Sunday morning /afternoon? Lots of people come away for chill out weekends to get away from, work wouldn't it have been better a quieter time in the week. Approached the warden doing the work said we were leaving early asked us if we had had enough.Replied I had of the noise and he said it had to be done and he was doing it when the weather was dry.Wasn't really interested when I said fee paying customers might also like a bit of peace on site . When doing a review one of the questions asked is about peace and quiet, i think it was quite reasonable to ask for that. Maybe a high powered petrol strimmer on a Sunday morning might be replaced with a hand held pair of shears and we might all be happy. Left instead of staying tonight payed for with a caravan club voucher. Not the best experience could of been made easier by a better response from the warden.Won't be returning will be revisiting Longnor Wood from now on.

Why not try the really good CL at Goatfell Farm between Leek and Ashbourne (guaranteed peace and quiet  - apart from the sheep!) instead and save a few quid? smile
