Exit Chaos

We have just spent a delightful long weekend at this site.  On arrival the staff were most helpful, the pitches were nicely arranged and, as it was early season, it was not too busy.   The cleanliness of the facilities were second to none. The site had easy access to Birmingham – we used the park and ride (train) which was brilliant and it was a convenient site for tourist attractions like the Severn Valley Railway etc.  We only had one grumble and that was on leaving.  It would have been helpful to have known in advance the situation relating to burials at the graveyard next door before leaving the site and turning left into Chapel Lane.  Due to some inconsiderate parking by the funeral goers leaving cars on both sides of the road it was impossible to get a caravan through.  We had to unhook, manually turn the caravan round using a residents driveway and leave by the other route.  While we were turning round, another caravan left the caravan site and, despite our warning of what laid ahead, tried to pass the cars and literally got stuck.  He was still there when we passed him on the main road 30 minutes later. If there could be some sort of liaison with the cemetary and the caravan site, the wardens would be able advise members of times when there could be problems when turning left into Chapel Lane. Perhaps they should recommend them to turn right instead although it is a longer, bumpier route. What a shame after having such a nice time.

More than just a storage facility.

This is an exremely well placed site for Tourers En-route, and for us very well placed for us visiting relatives, we have noticed a gradual swing of closing pitches and adding more storage, please don't ! The pitches that are being taken out of use, along the back and towards the Bus Museum are the quietest pitches and the most peaceful on the site, admittetly some are narrower and some need a bit more levelling to stop them flooding  after heavy rain, but they are still the 'prime pitches' in our book ! Don't just use them for storage....such a waste. Otherwise had a great time over Easter visiting National Trust properties close by (there are many !). The new dog walk is great, and thank you for opening it up, in what was otherwise overgrown shrub, it could do with a bit more bark chippings down the main pathway, and at the end, where there is a doggy MUD WALLOW ! ours unfortunately loved it ! (bark chippings again please). Site is a tribute to the new (ish) Wardens, Thanks from a regular 'stayer'.

Midlands Halt

A pleasant site for a stopover and peace and quiet close to the motorway network. A warm welcome from the wardens and an Easter quiz was a nice touch whilst supporting their chosen charity.

Great site to use as a touring base.

This was our second visit to this site and on each occasion we have used it as a base for visiting a specific location, the latest being an event at the NEC. Its close location to the motorway network coupled with the fact that there are so many places of interest within easy travelling distance of this site makes it a prime site in the Midlands area. The site itself is up to the usual high standards of the CC with immaculate facilities and very helpful staff.

No Need For Speed

We have used this site numerous times. Excellent site and perfectly located for the NEC. Very friendly and helpful wardens. Sadly spoilt by the ridiculous speeds that some members were driving around the site last weekend. 5 MPH is there for a reason and not just to annoy members that have to get to where they are going fast !

Ideal location

Our second stay. It's an ideal location for a stop off on way north. 5 minutes from m42 jn3. Very friendly welcome. Spotlessly clean facilities. You can't believe you are so close to the city or the motorway. Quite peaceful

March 2015

As a newbie to the CC and my motorhome I am still finding my way when it comes to the various sites. This one is easy to get to, had friendly staff, spotless facilities and I enjoyed a pleasant couple of days. As a dog owner (x2) I appreciate the dog exercise area, but would have preferred a map showing the local public rights of way, rather than written descriptions. But a minor detail and I will be using this site again as for me it is a convenient stopping place from the SW where I live to places much further north.
