Stayed on two Cmc sites so far this Season, Lady Margrets Park in Chirk and New England Bay in Dumfries and Galloway neither stocked essentials any longer ?? Why is that ? IE. MILK, BREAD, EGGS, coffee, tea, Ice Creams etc., now in Chirks case shops are just about a Mile away, a nuisance but 'do able' at a push provided you are not disabled. HOWEVER at New England Bay the nearest shop is in Drummore more than 5 miles away really too far and NO public transport.

Why are Wardens not bothering with selling essentials any more ? It was scorching for 3 weeks at New England Bay lots of children all wanting ice creams ?? Let alone us Adults ! And you couldnt order newspapers for the following day by paying in advance

Seems you dont realise what a treasure you have until you lose it. That was the PREVIOUS wardens at New England Bay OH Yes AND they closed half of the toilet facilities half way through our stay, not for repairs but to save money...we were told.

Chirk has a 'new' toilet block but have closed off the large Rallyfield/ dog excercise area. Is this a 'New Breed' of Site Wardens who are NOT customer oriented ? Viewpoints please !

As we already have a thread running on site shops, I'll lock this one and invite any further discussion on the original thread.

I am i am going to a Commercial site in September for 2 weeks in Cornwall Chacewater Park for the cost of 1 week on a club site. SO, I have taken your advice ET.

Gonna stop at Exmoor House on the way down, to see if they have managed to ruin that site too ?

There's no shop at Exmoor Ray, just so you know in advance. Don't forget Chacewater Parks pitches are on metered power there. You might want to check their payment methods before you go.
