28th Trip
New House Farm, Aust, Bristol CC CL 22nd – 24th May 2009

New House Farm is a lovely little 5-Van site just off Junction 1 of the M48 at Aust in Bristol which was an ideal location for our trip to our Nephew's wedding on the Saturday less than 10 minutes away in Chepstow, Wales near Junction 2 of the M48 over the Toll bridge.  Despite being so close to the motorway, the site was very quiet which surprised us.

A basic site with no toilets/shower, it is just a sectioned off corner of the farmers 120 acre land with a water point, elsan point and refuse point.  There are 10 available EHU points spanning across the field, part of which was hardstanding. The field was fairly level with well kept grass and nice views.  The entrance to the site is via a gate which is kept padlocked at all times.  You are given a key to the padlock which you keep throughout your stay so you can come and go as you please.  Prior to arrival, the owner telephoned us to stop by the gate to his house for the key and not to drive into his gate.  Doing so would mean you'd have to back out again as there's nowhere to turn around.  The owner is a very pleasant chap who checked if we were OK on the Sunday and asked if there was anything we needed.

We don't normally do Bank Holidays because of the traffic but surprisingly, the traffic was fine.  And the weather was HOT! A very sunny weekend with barely a cloud in sight.  And at just £8 per night with EHU, great value!  Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone or use again ourselves.  It's an ideal rest point for anyone travelling via the M5.
