We were going to arrive after 5pm, Julie called me to take payment and explain they were the only warden couple and the office closed at 5pm, they would leave my barrier key and pitch number along with the info of the site on a clip board outside the office. I thought this was a lovely touch.
Arrived around 6.30, barrier key etc was where we were told it would be, we went to our pitch which was 33, a grass pitch by the pond and the dog walk, it was lovely along with an owl in the big tree next to the pond.
The owl was seen many times during the day and night,
The site was clean, tidy, lovely and quiet Mon-Thurs, as the weekend came it picked up with families arriving for the weekend, the small park for children had a swing missing and was particularly small.
I would return to this site again as I love the walks around Grafham Water which is a mile to the left or right, the walk around the waters from the site is 9 mile circular walk(I ran it a few times)
Bad points, only 2,
1. if your pitche is next to the bridge over the pond, expect kids to cycle or scoot over it and it be noisy and wake you up when the parents let them out (8am on a Saturday morning) yes I do have children and am happy with noise, but constant rumbling from the kids riding over the bridge was a bit annoying.
2. A very strong smell in the ladies toilets! Not sure if it was the drains, but wasn’t very nice.
Other than those, I love this site and will be back in the summer 😊.
