Ashridge Farm

What explanation for the problems have the wardens given?

A phone call to the club will illicit a better response than just posting on here.

Leave.

A 'typical' Club offering gives you a pitch, a peg, an EHU point and a toilet/shower block and can cost from £30-£50 for a couple.

take away the use of the shower block and it becomes a mightily expensive parking space. 

I'm interested to know the explanation as well

The OP mentions staying over Christmas but I assume they are still there? The current price for two is £23 a night less any VAT reduction, obviously it was more over Christmas/New Year. I don't know the Club policy of such things so probably best to write direct to the Club having first spoken to the site manager. Sometimes when there have been long term problems on a site fees are reduced whilst it is sorted out. Perhaps that doesn't count when they can provide some facilities? I also note you have not submitted a review of the site which might be an idea as well. We like the site and have stayed a couple of times but when ever we stay on site we use our own facilities so the problems  would have probably passed me by.

Interesting post? we have stayed at  Ashridge Farm several times (close to home but also is like staying in someone's back garden,) and very close to a lovely village

Very surprised at the Problems? the op has encountered, as I thought bulk gas was on a rolling contract?  and boilers.etc  were part of an outsourcing contract with a set time limit for attendance? . 

It does not really matter what contract they are on, if a part isn’t available. Cullodens facilities were out of action for a couple of months due to such a supply problem. Unfortunately there is a lot of it about at the moment.

A communication of that sort of problem to members on site ,May well be all that is needed unless the Op has not asked before posting

When reading reviews of sites it seems ,would not be an unusual occurrence 

That sounds like two issues to me🤔 Is it a boiler problem, or is it a gas supply problem? Assume it’s not on mains gas, as that couldn’t run out🤷‍♀️ 
Then there’s the loos….. Depends what the Warden’s are empowered to fix.  This is where everything being out to contract falls down, customer (Club) is entirely dependent upon someone else’s service and supply. Can understand contract for gas supply, but a qualified, multi skilled (gas fitter, electrician, handyman, etc….) post, with a roving brief, might just get things moving quicker for the Club’s customers. Just a thought……..🤔
