 Just came back and excellent situation to Longleat and its attractions. Chip van comes 3 times a week - and nice too. Sadly you cannot walk to a pub, but there are a few at the end of 'long lane' that looked nice. Asda near - 5 minutes car drive. Use your tesco vouchers for the Longleat passports and it will save you £22 adults and £16 kids. Definitely stay again

We stayed for two nights with relatives and the facilities were one of the best we have come across, really clean, no queues and free hairdryers!
There are electric hookups and tv aerials. The pitches were a little close together for our liking but we got a good pitch backing onto the hedge with plenty of grass behind the caravan. The dog walk is really good as you can let them off, although as usual not everyone picked up.
It was easy to wander into Longleat and use the attractions and the best bit was being able to cycle through in the evening when no one was around and use the estate. We will definitely be going again.
There was one downside for us, that if you are going with friends or relatives you cannot book pitches or save pitches etc and therefore you might not get pitches close together which does cause problems when you have small children wishing to vist them etc, but not too much of a problem this time.

Just come back from this site and thought I'd add my opinions.
It is a lovely site, beautifully maintained, peaceful (apart from the sealions), great access to Longleat - we wandered round the grounds at night when the crowds had gone, really helpful wardens, excellent toilets and showers and a very well stocked shop.
The down side to this site is the dog walk, it is very poor and if you use it you will probably end up walking in deposits as it is only a path, however, you can walk your dog around the lanes and at night we were advised we can let the dog into a field as long as there were no sheep!
The chip van is poor and the portion you get is very small for the money and sadly they weren't the best chips.
Having said all this we would recommend this site as it was just so lovely to relax on.

We had to drag ourselves away from this fabulous site. I wish I had booked a week rather than just two nights. The situation is wonderful, within the grounds of Longleat House and it was marvellous to be able to wander around the empty grounds in the evening and dream it was all yours.! We bought a passport ticket but didn't have time to do everything so we are going back in September, the site was booked up every weekend until then.
The site and facilities are spotless and well managed and the wardens very helpful. I imagine it might get a bit noisy in the school holidays but it was perfect when we were there. We could hear the sea lions, lions and wolves from our pitch and the sun shone. Sheer bliss. Roll on September.

A lovely site with perhaps one of the loveliest entrances to a Caravan Club site, passing Longleat House, through woods to the site.
Reception has a well stocked shop and can order Papers. Entry in & out of the site is via keycode barriers. Nice gravel hardstandings. There are three blocks, two toilet/shower blocks and a block containing, information room, Family room, laundry and Public Telephones (mobile phone reception was very poor). The toilet/showers were clean and well maintained.
Longleat attractions are a 10 min walk from the site. We ordered our tickets online (5% saving). I recommend the Passport ticket for the best value & is valid for 6 months. We enjoyed all the attractions, Longleat House was fascinating, in the first room was a glass case containing King Charles the First's shirt worn at his execution, complete with blood stains! Longleat staff are friendly and helpful. I recommend the Safari Bus. Costs £5 for over an hour & half tour with commentary (saves risk of car vandalised by the monkey's). Also there was a Dog Display on the lawn in front of house whilst we there which we enjoyed and were encouraged to take part! So a great site, lots to do, some good walks from the site and will visit again.

The site is in a beautiful location surrounded by large trees, it has 2 toilet blocks that close at different times of the day for cleaning, all the usual club site facilities and standards are maintained or exceeded, and the wardens are all very happy and helpful. Children have a reasonable size, well built play area in the corner of the caravan site.
Do not use SAT NAV to find the site, it may well bring you down a narrow lane that is used for both directions during your stay but is kept to one way for LEAVING the site with your unit. You enter via the coach entrance to Longleat house and grounds, this then merges with the normal car kiosks, don’t worry the people on the gate are quite use to this and will wave you through, you then proceed through the grounds and past the front of the house, follow the signs that take you past the car parks and round to the club site
Due to the secluded location of the site there is no need for keys for the toilet/shower blocks (handy when on a family holiday)
Sky Satellite is possible on about 50% of pitches, however 20% of these will not be straight forward due to trees, TV signal is also poor but all pitches have a TV socket. The Orange mobile signal is very hit and miss while in the caravan and normally works when outside (2G Only). The 3 mobile signal is also erratic and 3G is not possible for wireless internet broadband (despite high speed coverage shown on the 3 website).
The chip van that visits the site normally Tue/Fri/Sat at 6pm it is convenient although a little expensive, currently a bag of chips is £1.60 and you don’t get many! Don’t expect much change from £10 for two Fish & Chips!
There is a 200 meter walk into the Longleat attractions, so you will defiantly not be needing the car when visiting! You can often hear the nearby Sea Lions and the slightly ‘further away’ Lions in the morning and evening.
The range of wild birds that live on and around the site is staggering and a chorus of chirping can be heard throughout the morning and evening.
Several national trust properties and gardens are within short driving distances and the stunning Wells cathedral is well worth a drive (optional donation charge of £5.50 per adult and compulsory £3 charge to take photographs)

Just returned from a 4 day break wishing we were still there, the pitches are very spacious and you do feel like you are in the middle of a wood, we certainly did on pitch no.45 anyway.
The only downside is the dog park, it is basically a muddy walkway through a small wood, we ended up walking around the outside of the site which is what everyone seemed to do. You are surrounded by so much unused land that a fenced off area would really make this site top class.
We used Tesco vouchers to enter the park which saved us £22 each, well worth a visit.
There are dog kennels available at the entrance of the visitor park to use whilst you drive around the safari park, they are very basic so its best take a blanket or something that reminds them of home.
The town of Frome is around 5 miles away and has everything you need.
We heard the lions roaring and the sea lions barking at night. We will definitely go back.

We have just come back from the most fabulous 4 night break. What a lovely site, all pitches very spacious we had number 3 perfect if you have budding footballers as it was opposite a small ball area. The facilities on site are spotless and the wardens are very friendly and helpful. Turn left out of the site and a few yards down the road is Longleat house and the many attractions on offer. Turn right out of the site and appox 1.5miles you will come to the White Hart Inn which is very nice too. We tried to book for early May but as you would expect for such a wonderful site it is fully booked. Get the Passport ticket online and you save another 15% off the price great value for money. It certainly is a must.

Well what can I say, it is a Caravan Club site and they are always wonderful, this one is particularly so in that it is situated just behind Longleat House and if that wasn't enough you have the sound of lions, wolves, etc. in the background how many places do you get that !
There lots of organised things to do e.g. look around the house, the safari park etc. But if you want to do your own thing you are free to go for long walks around the grounds. Nearby is Shearwater which is a large man made lake where you can just sit and watch the yachtsand ( native ) wildlife.
The staff were friendly and welcoming and we were pleased to find that the site rules were enforced thus making it better for everyone, I wish I could say the same for all sites.
The nearest towns are Warminster which is a garrison town but very pleasant with good shops or just over the border into Somerset and about the same distance is Frome a historic place with good independant shops 5 supermarkets inc. M & S Sainsburys and Asda, worth exploring if you can tear yourself away from Longleat but be warned it is VERY hilly.

What a wonderful site, very large pitches. You can walk into longleat park from a back entrance, turn left at the site gate 150yds on foot and you're in longleat grounds for free. A must for the kids, there is so much to see and do it takes longer than a day to fully appreciate all the attractions. You can either buy a pass for the attractions or pay individually for your favourites.
There is also a wonderful dog walk on this site, and we were visited by the local ducks who come to your van door to be fed.
The wardens are really helpful and informative, we originally booked for 1 night but stayed for 4 even though we didn't have any kids.
There are two large toilet/shower blocks with staggered cleaning times so you're never caught out. This must be one of the best Caravan Club sites.
