This is a pleasant site for a short stay, despite the narrow access lane and the difficult exit back onto the A303. Whilst it is well maintained and has reasonably decent sized pitches, it is enclosed by tall trees all around and doesn't enjoy the open countryside views described by one recent visitor. On arrival we were greeted by a first rate lady warden who had excellent interpersonal skills, which need to be bottled for others. We were initally pleased to see the new toilet block with a good layout and facilities. It was spotlessly clean. The great disappointment here is the size of the shower cubicles, which are very narrow, indeed. This beggars belief when there is sufficient room for them to have been made to a more reasonable size without the unit as a whole encroaching too much onto the rest of site. How this could be allowed to happen in an upgrade programme beggars belief. We were also dismayed to see the use of those inconvenient plastic stools, which resrict the cubicle space even further. What happened to built in benches? The ship was spoiled for a halfpennyworth of tar! Despite proximity to a main road, we experienced little traffic noise but there was considerable daytime noise from equipment operated on a neighbouring farm. The area has lots of historic places of interest to visit within easy reach and the coast is not too far away for a day out either.

My wife and myself enjoyed our stay. Had two nights there. We did find the the entrance off the A303 a bit awkward so went to the the next junction and turned around and found that better. As regards the toilets they were first class and showers perfect in condition and size. Congratulations to the wardens for a good job.
