What do people want or expect from a CL ?

We have just returned from a wonderful 10 days on a lovely CL in the New Forest. This was exactly as all the reviews had stated, flat, peaceful, lovely owners and very well kept. We were surprised, however, by the remarks of one couple who were staying there who didn't like the CL one bit. They were complaining about the fact that there were three horses in the adjoining paddock (excuse me but we were in the New Forest famous for horses!), They claimed they could smell them and there were flies, neither point we could agree with at all. They also said that they thought the site was bigger than it was. The handbook states it is half an acre which is possibly underestimating the actual size as there was far more space per unit than any CC main site but this couple were trying to judge the size from the photos online. (If they looked at the photos they would also see horse jumping 'jumps' in the adjoining paddock which might have given them a clue as to the possible proximity of horses). Why not believe the owner's description? They then went on to say that they didn't believe the reviews on line claiming that they were probably all written by the owners themselves. What an insult.

Talking the the owners in very general terms about people going into the countryside and then complaining about the characteristics of the countryside, sounds and smells etc, I was told that one couple staying on the site last year asked the owners to do something about the noise of the sheep (which they didn't own) in a neighbouring field. What do people expect ? If you don't like the characteristics of the countryside stay in a city and listen to the traffic and breath in the fumes.
