Very noisy dogs in rear neighbouring property
Visually and layout-wise this is a nice CL site with plenty of space and easy access. But I’ve marked it down due to very noisy dogs in the neighbouring rear property. There are around 4 dogs, whose owner is quite happy for them to roam free over their land and bark constantly all times of the day. Everyday, and mostly for hours at a time, the dogs would bark, even right through the night making sleep impossible without wearing noise reduction iPods. Our travelling companions complained to the owners, who were completely impotent to stop the barking. We were there for 6 out of 7 nights and we were asked to pay for our stay before arrival? Make what you will from that? We couldn’t leave earlier as we had business in the area. So, if you like a CL site with a nice layout and appearance, with the added bonus of very noisy dogs constantly barking right behind your caravan/Motorhome at all times of the day, then this is the site for you! We will not be returning.
Comment from the CL Owner:
We appreciate you spending six nights with us.Feedback is always welcome.We are sorry that on one night you heard dogs barking and that it affected your enjoyment of our site.As all our previous reviews show,this occurence is highly unusual and hasnt occured in the previous 7 years.
The dogs belong to our neighbour, so when you told us about the problems, we went right over to see them.They explained that a fox had tried to attack their chickens, which triggered the dogs.Their working dogs are kept in pens, some of which were moved farther away after our visit, and they are not allowed to roam free. Since our home is closer to our neighbours than the CL,we are aware of any noises before they reach the CL.
I did try to communicate this information to you,but it was challenging because you appeared to be out when I called around.
No matter how long the stay is, we request that any unpaid balance is paid in full upon arrival, as is the norm for most CL sites.
