 If the access puts people off, then what?

Nice spot but public transport isn't close by, I think 1/2 a mile on roads without footpaths. More of a caravanners site. Maybe a place for holiday units in the future?

If we're in the area we like easy access to facilities.

'In my experience'....and in only one day of announcing it, the vast majority of comments I've seen have not been gushing with praise or excitement.

We have used this site a number of times. Excellent site and I hope it stays that way. As said previously the access lane is a bit tight, and will cause problems for those who tend  to ignore arrival times - I for one won't be doing any  reversing on that lane.

I think most are about the narrow acces lane not the site itself

I’d be prepared to give the access a go, at least out of season. However, the fact there are no footpaths close to the site and the narrow access has to be walked to get to the bus stop,  makes it an uninviting site for us. I suspect they will get very few MH’s visiting

One of the reasons all types of van users like public transport in places like Torbay is the lack of parking at peak times and the expense of parking. There are often queues at the Hillhead bus stops in both directions because bus passes can be used to get to all sorts of places and day tickets are available for families etc. Battling through the holiday traffic can be hard work. This is why I made a comment about lack of transport at Dornafield, I think this applies to Modbury too?

I presume seasonal pitches will be on offer and they offer good alternatives to people who don't live too far away.

I have noticed that the facilities on offer at some of the Club's bigger sites are getting hard to maintain, cafe and bar opening hours reduced, shops closing, lack of staff etc. I do hope the club will be able to maintain what it offers.
