Beyond our expectations for first time motorhomers!
Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Absolutely fantastic place! Had everything anyone could need. Helpful staff. Spotless facilities (shower was heaven!). Lovely grounds and views.. And this was all out of season so I can imagine the site to be buzzing when in season. Definitely would recommend 5 ⭐
Disliked Couldn’t find a public footpath to get to Clapham village after getting to the main road. So the fast road with no footpaths or way through via fields was a little disappointing.. unless we missed it.
