May Bank Holiday - 3rd May to 8th May

WON'T BE COMING BACK HERE AGAIN! We have visited this site many times over the years but will not becoming back following the victimisation we have had to endure from the wardens, on three separate occasions, the second and third clearly arising as a resilt of the first. For which we feel so strongly that we are writing a formal complaint to the site head quarters. As we were pitched next to them we were clearly "easy pickings". On Saturday, one of our three dogs accidentally escaped from our awning through the apron attached to the caravan, he then went to another dog to fight, the lady who had her dogs was exceptionally good and understanding. However, one of the wardens was far less understanding, coming over to us in an aggressive manner THREATING us that if our dog was not tethered he would remove us from the site. He didn't ascertain any facts but just jumped to conclusions. If the dogs had have been outside we always tether them. Amazing how when we walked around the site there were so many dogs outside that weren't tethered, even though the site rules clearly state they should. On the second occasion, on the Sunday morning, we were told that the dogs could not urinate on the hedge at the rear of the caravan, only in the dog walking areas, as per the sites rules!! Think these need to be more clearly written then or the wardens taught how to interpret them properly. The final straw came on the Monday afternoon when a third warden knocked on the window of our caravan "to make sure we were in" as someone had reported the dogs barking??!! The site is not maintained to the very high standards of the previous wardens. We noted how on all previous occasions, especially at Bank Holiday weekends, the grass had been cut, the roads were clear of stones where the hard pitches are, and the site looked immaculate. We accept rules, but if the wardens want to enforce them then they need to be "police patrolling" the site and applying to them to everyone. We noted they didn't seem to enforce the 5mph speed limit!! What we hoped would bean enjoyable weekend was totally spoilt. AS I OPENED WE WONT BE BACK HERE AGAIN.

How do you stop your dog from peeing on the grass! Do you tell them to cross their legs and wait until you get to the dog area?

Strange how the Guide Dogs are trained to relieve themselves in an appropriate place on commandundecided

A responsible dog owner will be alert and attentive to a dog's needs and take it to the appropriate place in good time. The dog will be walked briskly on a short lead and kept away from temptation en route such as bushes and posts. It works.
