Pleasant Fun Family Site....if a bit Muddy!

Arrived in a caravan on Sunday before New Year. Welcome was pleasant and information provided about toddler room etc. Invited to the New Year’s eve get to together and told about pitches available (only 20 left!). We drove around a quite narrow circuit to the right and found ourselves going round a few times before selecting our pitch. There were a few dead end pitches and not suitable for caravan manoeuvres; ideally I would liked to have walked before hand and selected etc but they were busy and caravans were threatening to stack up outside. We were advised by reception not to drive on grass so we used the motor mover; which was essential anyway due to the position of our pitch. It was easy to avoid the muddy patches when sticking to the paths etc but I do agree with previous reviews about a need for some regravelling or tidying up when the weather gets better. A pitch near us was totally unsuitable for anything other than a small motorhome due to a soggy side and covering of moss / grass.... not sure what you do about it though! It’s been awfully wet this Autumn / Winter. The facilities that we used were wonderful but you just can’t escape the muddy boot / wet shower cubicle / muddy footprints etc. Maybe they can supply shoe covers for winter months like at swimming pools? Would help to have less mud in the showers etc. Dishwashing facilities good.. if a little cramped ... but never seems to have hot enough as id use at home water...this is a comment i’d make about all sites. I do like to think my dishwashing water is hot enough to kill germs etc. Play area good.. one area out of use... as identical with another site we’d used recently so not sure what’s going on there. It’s the rope net access to the slide. Boules area available and crazy golf... all off limits due to weather and leaves but would be fun in summer. We never went to the other facilities to the left of the entrance and didn’t fancy some of the pitches there due to over head wires / electricity / phone lines? Overall a good site ... fab wardens.... a wonderful NYE party needing some preventable solutions to the little details. Another thing that would help is better lighting maybe; I couldn’t see the bin lid writing early evening as it was too dark to see which litter bin to use etc. Location next to town is great! Busses are easy get to local towns (we did Bourton). The Arboretum near by was fab! A very good base for exploring that part of the Cotswolds. Thoroughly enjoyed it!!! In our personal reviews in our Caravan Diary... this fell into the “Very Good” category. 73/100 :-)
