Reception Staff

This is a lovely site marred by the reception staff who take enormous pleasure in turning customers away who have the temerity to turn up 5 minutes earlier than 1pm. No one can guarantee just how long it takes to get to site. But your customers do their best. Then to be greeted by reception staff who taint the start of a holiday by being dictatorial and rude is no recommendation for the Caravan Club. I think some customer service training would be applicable. They allow no flexibility whatsoever. This site requires flexibility because the entrance to the site is on a narrow lane with a calming measure near the entrance. The results of their actions causes problems on the Lane outside the site where at 1pm there is then a long queue waiting to get in and other road users find it difficult. This is on a daily basis. Once on site it is very pleasant, well maintained and clean and the wardens are very helpful. The toilets and showers are spotless BUT in the Ladies heating is a problem. Not once during a recent stay did I find a warm radiator no matter what time of the day or night. It was quite the talking point when braving a shower. The thermostat showed between 18 and 19 degrees. But it was frequently colder inside the Ladies than outside. And certainly a lot cooler than the 18 degrees in our caravan. Apparently the Mens facilities were warm bordering on hot!!

Arrival times have become an increasingly emotive issue and feedback on this subject from the wider membership has grown over recent years and we've needed to act on it. We know it causes mixed feelings if we allow one or two guests to check in or sit and wait on-site if they arrive early, but then ask other arrivals to come back because we can't accommodate everyone equally. The fairest approach is of course to ask anyone arriving early to come back. For this season and going forward, our Director of Sites & Accommodation asked our Site Staff for greater consistency of service across the Club’s campsite network and maintaining arrival times has been a key part of delivering this consistent approach. We know this has been a challenge for some of our site teams and we've done everything we can to communicate this change in approach to our members (Via SMS messaging, pre-stay emails - some of our site teams make call-outs, if time allows) with advice to plan suitable places to stop en-route if their journey is progressing quickly.
