Firstly, I want to emphasise the reception staff, site facilities; although, now getting a little tired, overall maintenance and appearance of the site were exactly what we know and love about C&MC Club sites; they are to a high standard. The site dog walk, excellent local pub just across the road and the abundance of things to do in the local area all add to the appeal of the site. However; this site, and its proximity to the channel ports gives it a unique role, as an overnight transit facility to those members going to and from Europe. Knowing very little about the site but wanting to explore the area we booked a weeks break in early Sept. On arrival it was recommended that we pitch in the “quiet” area of the site by the lower facilities block, which we did. Even so, the departure of members to catch early channel crossings, who had parked in adjacent pitches, meant an amount of unwelcome noise and activity from around 05.00 onwards. No one deliberately made excessive noise and I do believe all tried to consider other members, but its just not possible to pack-up, start the vehicle engine and get away silently so for me a holiday lay-in was out of the question. So, would we stay for a week again – “unlikely”, would we use the site before a channel crossing – “most definitely”.
