So here we are enjoying some super weather in the middle of July and I wish to share with you this great place I recently stayed at with an old mate from work.
Now then, no connection to this place other than they have a gorgeous 8yr Border Collie called Aggi, (and I love Border Collies !) Simon and Sarah (if I remember correctly) originally from Sussex deserve a shout out for this place that they have been running now for a couple of years.
Nice decent pub inside serving great food in the evenings. We booked a table just in case it was busy but in mid June mid week and out of school holidays there was no need.
There is a massive car park out the front and you can ride around the back to the field (where Aggi will bark and chase you !) passed the amenities to find your chosen spot.
There was a big under cover double sink with hot water and a couple of big double charging points for mobiles and power packs etc.
The toilets and showers were clean and tidy again with hot water on demand. Can't tell you what it would be like in the middle of summer during school holidays but we had it good.
Excellent wifi in the pub and out the back where there were big covered tented areas so even if it were wet you can still sit out under cover and enjoy it all.
Ice cold Peroni was always welcome.
There was plenty of field space and close by are 4 wig wammy things that we are going back to next year ... they look good. A double bed in the middle with singles either side for a family or just take the big bed for your self !
As you can see .. all very nice clean and well thought out.
We did a bit of local riding about, nothing too strenuous, obviously and thoroughly enjoyed what Dorset had to give.
A couple of hours away from my place . so not too far but far enough to be a little different. 3 hours or so from Charing Cross nick.
Now then now then, then now ....
This place was only 20 minutes away and eastbound ... you don't want to stay here I know that but you DO WANT to order their big full English, all yours with T and toast breakfast for £9.95. Bloody Hell it was good !
And here is the documentary evidence !
A few weeks ago in Brecon I posted a similar photo of brekky and I was, quite rightly chastised for not having any Black pudding to show for it !!! So I have made amends !
That's it. Just a few photos and a recommendation of a good pub to camp at.
Booking.Com take 16% apparently so if you book direct they would appreciate it.
Enjoy and post up if you go.
