Questions:- (This review is from the point of view of motorhomers driving a Swift Kontiki 669 tag axle – 8.56m)

What are the pitches like?

Lovely pitches. Not laid out rigidly. This is a nice big field with hook-ups all around.

Is there water on each pitch?

No – but the tap is easily accessible.

What is the electric like?

16A – excellent

Drainage?

What’s the site access like?

Good, off of Water Lane

What are the Sanitary facilities like?

Toilets: Good – 1 shower room, with toilet and sink (£1 for the shower) + a ladies and gents separate toilet. Toilet paper provided? Yes, and plenty of spare kept available. Showers: Looked perfectly acceptable, although we didn’t use it.

What other facilities are there?

Chemical waste disposal. Rubbish bins. Farm shop and kitchen. There is also a ‘crazy barn’ on site (useful if you’ve got little ones).

None of this affected us in any way.

If you follow the footpath past the farmshop you come to a lane. A little further along there is a open grassy area which looked lovely.

Close to a bus-stop (almost in front of the site) and train stations (withing 20 minutes walk).

Is there any internet; if so how much and how good?

No. No internet

What’s the welcome like?

Very welcoming and friendly.

How much is it?

We paid £18 per night

What’s the area like?

Good. Good transport links. There’s a pub within about 5 minutes walk. Shops are probably a car drive away though.

Suitable for 5th Wheelers? Possibly, might be worth a call (grass pitches only though)

Would we return?

Absolutely.

More detail:

The Good:-

Nice location. Good to see the owner call someone out for driving too fast into the car park. The farm shop and the kitchen

The Bad:-

Nothing really

The Ugly:-

Nothing at all 😊

Moving On:

We moved on to Essex, D’Arcy Equestrian (a Camping and Caravanning certificated site). If we had had more time here we would have visited Chelmsford, and definitely Tiptree.
