Questions:-Β  (This review is from the point of view of motorhomers driving a Bessacarr 769 tag axle – 8.56m)

What are the pitches like?Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 

Excellent pitches- all grass in a massive field (although this is a C&C certificated site for 5 vans they do hold rallies as well)

Is there water on each pitch?Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 

No, but easily accessible

What is the electric like?Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 

16A– excellent

Drainage?Β Β Β Β Β 

No, but owners happy for grey water to be used to water the trees!

What’s the site access like?Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 

Entrance is off a fairly narrow lane – it is best to approach from the Devizes end (essential really if you have a larger unit) and not from the Lacock end as the road is quite narrow and steep from that direction.

What are the Sanitary facilities like?Β Β Β Β 

Toilets: Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β Β  No toilets or showers

Toilet paper provided? N/AΒ  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β Showers:Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β N/A

What other facilities are there?Β Β Β Β 

Bins and CWD

Dog walk – nice walk from the site around the fields, including a lake

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

No – signal for own was fine

Very welcoming – lovely older couple have been running the site for about 30 years.

How much is it?Β Β Β Β Β 

We paid Β£12 per night including electric.Β  We decided to go home a day earlier than planned (as the weather wasn’t great and our family party was finished).Β  We were very surprised to have that night’s money refunded!

What’s the area like?Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 

You can’t go wrong in this area – Lacock is beautiful, as is Castle Coombe (both are used regularly in filming).Β  Bath isn’t far at all and even Devizes is well worth a visit (head for the Caen Hill Locks for an invigorating walk!

You do really need transport though (we booked a taxi which took ages to arrive!)
