Ease of arrival/welcome

Disappointing for an award winning site.

Travel directions were very good and the entrance is wide making access from either directions easy. We arrived at the house and was met by the owner who provided us with a very good information pack, this contained a folder with site information, emergency contacts, eating places etc and also a number of information leaflets of places to visit. We didn't find him particularly friendly but it felt very formal. The site is in two sections and there are plenty of available hookups as the previous owners were going to develop it as a larger site, therefore, with it now being a CL and the 5 van limit, there is plenty of room to space the vans out. The first pitch we were going to needed more levelling blocks than we had and it would have been difficult to put the awning up because of the steep slope, so we went to the lower section where it was slightly more level. Facilities were acceptable but could have done with some sort of lighting at night time. The grass was short but there were a lot of cuttings left on the field which in the damp, obviously gets trodden everywhere. They have a lovely golden retriever, Honey, who roams the site, which I have no problem with, but the fact that she roams means she does her toilet where she wanders and unfortunately I found one pile when I was near the water tap, late at night which needless to say got trodden back to the caravan along with the damp grass that was laying on the field but as it was dark near the water I wasn't aware of it. There was also another pile left behind our caravan and walking up to take the information book back on the evening before we left, there was another pile left on the grass on the way up the hill. We never saw the owner again throughout the week otherwise we would have brought it to his attention. Not a site I would visit again but Ellesmere is a lovely village and there are plenty of places to visit from there.
