Charlie Bassetts

Liked We had a fairly level gravel pitch and a nice amount of grass, great for staking the dog, and a wooden picnic table with benches which as we were only there one night saved us fishing out our own table and chairs. We had a nice view across fields and an attractive wild flower bed.
The ladies shower block was clean (2 loos & 2 showers) and there was good "al fresco" washing up facilities just outside the block.
It was good that there was a field to exercise the dogs although it could be better cared for.
The location enabled us to meet up with people who live nearby.

Disliked The fact that we could not get dinner at the pub. We did try to book before arriving in the afternoon but it was a busy Saturday evening and they were full. There was only 2 of us and we'd have been very happy to have collected food and taken it back to the van had that been an option. We were told we could still get a pizza but when my husband went to order they said the weren't doing them anymore because the pub was busy.
The Royal Oak that we could have walked to was also full and despite deciding we would have to get back in the Motorhome, not ideal after arriving at your site after a long drive, we couldn't get a table at two further pubs, The Black Lake Inn had availability but told us they weren't dog friendly! Apparently they take Guide Dogs but not Hearing Dogs so beware!! I did point out that Hearing Dogs have the same legal rights as Guide Dogs but frankly by then I didn't want to go there anyway.
We will try C.B.'s again for an overnight stop but only if we can make a dinner reservation first.

Liked Really enjoyed our 3 night stay here, pitch was a brilliant size and the site was beautiful! Met the owner who was lovely and all the staff were helpful too! Lots to do around the area on foot or a short drive away, we had some lovely walks with the dog. The pub, dog field and fire pits on site were fab additions, will definitely be returning. Thank you for a lovely stay, Grace, Lewis and Lyra 🐾

From the manager: Hi Paul
Thanks for the good comments ,
Strange about the Bar Staff issue they are always very good on advice with the Camp site or advise people to contact me , we are all one setup .
We cant man the Camp reception 24/7 so soz about that.

Regards Team Charlies

Liked Nearly everything. Pitch, pub, owner, location, walks everywhere so bring a map.
Owner very interesting to talk to re history of the village. Beautiful church opposite. Gorgeous wild flower planting at the bottom of site. Clean and perfectly functional shower and toilets. Pub staff lovely.

Disliked It was quiet when we visited, just after school holidays but the site I imagine would benefit from a few more loos and showers during busy periods. Would definitely visit again though. Lovely 😍
