We stayed for two nights midweek just before Easter. We shouldn't have been staying at this site, l thought l had booked for the Blackhorse site in Densole, (senior and blonde moment!!), as were wanted to see family in the area. And l am so glad we did, its a lovely little site, quite rural and unlike the Densole site no buses nearby, which as we have a motorhome is a consideration. Having said that only being about a hour from home we will take our car as well next time as we plan to take the grandchildren.
Lovely and clean and the pitch, hardstanding due to the time of year was massive. The toilets were clean and as a previous reviewer said very dark at night because its so rural, added to the fact as you come out of the toilets there is quite pronounced raised manhole which to my mind is a trip hazard. The warden when we checked in did say people had said it was dark at night by the toilets, not sure if it was a light out or just bad lightening. Lovely washing up area.
Nice little playground area for children which is good because there is a lot to do for children in the surrounding area. There was an information room with lots of leaflets, taxi firms etc and hopefully something you wouldn't need but it had a defibrillator in there. The warden checking us in was very pleasant and helpful.
My main gripe is there was no WiFi, and while l note that sites are being upgraded it is something many people even us oldies want and need now, but if taking children unless very young tots its an issue in today's world. The Wifi had stopped working the previous week and hadn't been repaired apparently. But previous comments from last year l think its a bit of an issue.
The only other possible issue is there is only one shower block and they were shut from 10.30-12 which while l appreciate they have to be cleaned l thought was quite early in the morning. The site wasn't very busy but not sure if that would be a bit of an issue in the busier season.
All in all a nice site, and reasonable.
