A fair old walk to Bridgenorth if you miss the bus!

After a damp drive to the campsite in late October 2019, I didn't feel particularly welcomed or valued as a Customer when checking in. We had had a difficult journey culmalating with the EMS light coming on in the MH 3 miles outside Bridgenorth. On 'limp home' mode we limped into the campsite. The staff were what I considered a little 'sharp' and with little or no conversation other than to give us our pitch and tell us the campsite rules. Had stayed at a sister site in Llanberis the week before where the team could not have been more helpful and welcoming, so was expecting the same. An example being, I wanted a to buy a Wifi voucher with cash rather than to pay on the card when logging in. The lady wasn't happy and even though I knew they had these vouchers (had them in Llanberis) she was very reluctant to give me one of these. Other than that, the site was clean, facilities very good even though some way from our pitch which in the Summer wouldn't be a problem, not good in damp Autumn. Pitches looked mostly level, ours having a nice view of the lake on the campsite. We did try to get the bus to Bridgenorth, however, as we were walking the 15 to 20m to the bus stop, we saw in the distance it stop and then drive on, a full 10m before the timetable time! Top tip, get there early to avoid a 40m walk into the lowtown and then a steep walk into the upper town area along a very busy road, as 3 taxis we phoned were not interested in coming out that far. Once in the high town in Bridgenorth, we had a lovely time walking around, and I was astonished and pleasantly surprised that for such a small town it had so many small and medium size pubs open. All in all, would certainly go back to Bridgenorth, but maybe not Stanmore Hall

We have used the Bridgnorth Rufc Car Park off the A442 Mill Street, parked near the River Severn leaving a half mile work to the Cliff Railway into town although we have tended to walk in the opposite direction for a quarter of a mile past St Mary's Church to visit the Castle gardens first.

Problem for a Motorhome though is that I think (don't know for certain) that there may be a height barrier despite ample space. Presumably the Rugby Club have info.

Stanmore Hall is the only site we have actually used for a short holiday in the Uk for many years and although it was very expensive at the time (we had no 3 for 2 offer) I felt it is a model the club would do well to emulate. It was some years since and staff  have probably changed but at the time of our visit they were fine but it does sound as though they have not changed and for the better.

I used it probably 22 years ago on my own. My eldest daughter drove up so that I could fix her car window which had dropped and she stayed the night. I used it again with Fliss about 19 years ago. On both those occasions it was fine. I have used it about 10 and 3 years ago but been less happy with it.
