We've thought about coming to this site for our long weekend season launch for so many years but always let other options take priority. They won't anymore. So well located in terms of the major routes from the north, south, east and west it is ideal for that quick 2-3 hour max travel time, particularly when you're only away for 3 nights. Yet despite the proximity to the motorways and trunk roads, an air of calm pervades. If you do become aware of the distant hum, it merely serves to contrast against the peace and certainly didn't drown out the bird song. Wardens, like so many, exemplary. Friendly, welcoming, efficient so just the ticket. Two loo blocks always assists with those lazy Sunday mornings with no need to clock watch in case you get caught short. And as for the comments about need of upgrade, I prefer to use retro to describe rather than the more negatively associated dated. After all they were clean, warm and the showers were powerful enough and hot enough. Everything else is just window dressing surely. Located so closely to Birmingham with its plentiful things to do, certainly more than we had time to take in. Didn't have enough time even to test the walks to the local pubs so I guess we'll just have to leave that for next time. We'll be back!
