Good for families

Lovely site/location great walks for families and dogs but...Could be better!

We spent 5 days here, having secured a late deal? So was surprised on arrival there were a lot of empty pitches, visitors only stayed a couple of nights before moving on. The site easily accessible off a main road whihc is a plus and easy reach of Charmouth , Lyme regis. We were allocated a choice of two pitches, (not having a motor mover we pitched in one with a little more manoeuvrability) this seemed to be the situation on all grassed pitches as they are all lined with hedges. We felt that the hedges though a nice privacy feature contributed to the difficulty for those getting in and out of the site. Watching other visitors struggle pitching and unpitching shows the site design needs a rethink. Certanily leaving the site having to pass guests/children returning from using the facilities as they all used the same single track route out of the site? Why not create a path for guests so they are not walking on the road? The facilities were clean though the showers and the toilets need upgrading. The number of times you followed someone in the toilets to find the flush was inadequate. More areas for waste water, only situated at the entrance to the site?? The water supply having to lift the filled barrel off a high concrete pedastal? Not an easy task for anyone!! This review may seem a little negative we dont have any real complaints about the site and would certainly visit again, however, it looks tired, and needs investment to be better, the derlict barns could be converted into further amenities, removal of some of the hedges would allow visitors a better selection of pitches, (some next the to the woods for tents were lovely, and shame they were only allocated for tents but getting a caravan and car onto these pitches would be a nightmare, instead all the tourers were crammed on top of each other with little movement between pitches. The site was very quiet, lots of rabbits and wildlife to hear and see. The variety of food vendors that arrive on site was a nice addition after a long day site seeing. Lovely off lead dog walks for all across open fields. The wardens very busy but very helpful. All in all we had lovely stay, the site could be a real gem with some redesign, upgrades and improvements. We will certainly return in the future once we understand the site improvments have been made as it was perfect location to sitesee along the Jurassic coast and beyond.
