We stayed here at the end of September. It was a good stopover to break up the long journey home from Cornwall. The wardens are very friendly and really helpful.  It is just off the motorway but feels like your in the middle of the country side it is a good site if you want to chill out but if you want a bit more life Birmingham is only an hour by bus. There is one bus in the morning that picks up outside the site and drops off back at the site during the day. We visited the nearby farm shop only ten minuets walk from site. You can find a wide variety of food a word of caution their pickled onions are very very spicy. There is also a lovely restaurant and coffee shop.
