Good for families

Lovely site, great stay, probably won't visit again

Spent a lovely week at the site during the second week in July. Facilities are of the usual high standard, if rather dated. When the site is full during the summer holidays with lots of family vans more showers would be useful. Wardens very friendly, even provide herbs for your risotto ( snip your own at reception) Good for walking from the site as long as you have a valid Longleat ticket. Very little walking available on the non chargeable side of the site. The 5 day pass is very good value (see link on Longleat Page of CC website) but it must be purchased on line in advance. Best to do this before you arrive, as site WiFi is variable and mobile WiFi non existent on O2 and 3. (Not sure about other networks) Plenty to do at Longleat itself, get lost in the maze, feed the Lorikeets, walk with penguins, boat to see the gorilla (if he can tear himself away from his satellite TV) as well as the Tigers and Lions. As we had a five day pass we caught the safari bus (£5) one day, which enables you to see the monkeys without getting your car trashed, and went in the car a second day, avoiding the monkeys. This enabled us to look round the safari village, as the bus does not stop long. A good tip if you want to go on the morning bus, if you go to guest services at 9.30 they will sell you a ticket before the masses arrive at 10:00. It is unfortunate that Longleat management have decided not to allow access to the parkland without a valid ticket as it probably means we will not visit again. We like to walk without using the car and this is limited without paying. This was no problem this time as we wanted to see the lions etc. and the 5 day pass was great value. However, this would not be the case on a future visit.
