Don’t stay on a Sunday
Our 2nd stay at this site. The first time In April 2018 was great and Hutton le Hole is very nice. However we weren’t told that we would be woken at 6.30am by the cars arriving to set up for the car boot sale, we also weren’t told that the two unisex toilets on the site would be used by the general public attending the car boot and as a consequence the cleanliness was greatly compromised, I hate to think how many germs were on the sodden towelling hand towel in the toilets, we weren’t told that all the cars attending and leaving the car boot would be driving through the site to exit. We weren’t told until we were leaving that we had accrued a charge for a second vehicle my daughter visited one night, despite deliberately placing the caravan and not putting up an awning so we could fit the second vehicle a mini on our £22.00 per night C/L pitch. HAD THE OWNER TOLD US AT THE TIME we would have parked it at the pub and paid them the £3.00 charge. But instead he demanded money from us in a most unpleasant manner as we were leaving and driving out. I have checked his site page and can’t find any information that states what I can and can’t have on the pitch. Maybe he charges a second fee for Motorhomes with a little tow car. Suggest the owner be a little more clear and provide information about car boot and any additional rules they choose to impose when people book and on arrival. Wouldn’t stay here again. The area is lovely and the pub in Hutton le Hole has fantastic food. Would stay at the Caravan and Motorhome club site in Rosedale Abbey. It looked beautiful and at least there is a local shop there unlike the burnt out wreck of a shop in Hutton le Hole.
Comment from the Club:
Further to your review the CL owner has been in touch to review your concerns.
With immediate effect they are cancelling all their car boot fairs in their field for 2019.
The cost of a pitch is for a unit and a car plus two Adults. As such a Motorhome towing a car would not incur additional fees. If the CL owners had been aware that you had been planning on having your Daughters car parked on the pitch they would have advised you of the cost and did advise your Daughter of the charge.
With regards to the gift shop at Hutton-le-Hole, the CL Owners have advised that unfortunately there was a fire in the flat above the shop that nearly took the life of a person and caused the death of a much loved family pet and a local family who ran the gift shop have lost their livelihood. Our thoughts are with the families who lived and worked here.
