Date of Visit: September 2009
Unit: Tent
We arrived about 1.30 on Sunday afternoon and decided to eat in the pub eatery before putting up the tent. The food is excellent, (cooked beautifully by Darren the tall), and very reasonably priced. There was a christening on when we arrived but we were sorted with a lovely Sunday lunch very quickly.
The site itself is basic but so is the price, just £7 a night with an extra £2 for electric hook up. The toilet / shower block is small and a bit dilapidated but very clean and there is loads of hot water, my only complaint is that it could use a couple of hooks by the sinks to hang towels on whilst washing.
The area where we put the tent up is a bit open to the elements so was very windy, however there has been a number of shrubs planted which will provide shelter when they grow a bit.
There is not a lot in the immediate area but there are a lot of attractions in fairly close proximity and we were treated to a DC3 and a Spitfire flyby presumably because the Battle of Britain Museum is close by.
Now, the down side, unless you are slightly insane don`t use the pub. We went in on our first evening on site to pay the site fees and ended up getting a little tipsy thanks to Barry the barmy barman. Seriously though, although we knew nobody in the pub, which was quite crowded, we were laughing and joking with everybody very quickly. This place is very definitely run by a bunch of 'characters'. Improvements are in the pipeline for next season and we will be back for sure.
