Customer service?

Oh dear!! A great site let down by unruly site staff who were more bothered about taking the money off the new arrivals (and cleaning their own caravans) than looking after the members already on site. A visit to charm school would not go amiss!! Don't get me wrong, the site is very clean and in a great location, but this is the most expensive site we have ever stayed at, and really I expected better. The noise of the local football club was a slight distraction, but it was more amusing than anything else. My gripe is with the staff turfing people out of the shower block on the stroke of 10:30 so they could clean it. This was due to the other block being closed for refurbishment, but that meant more people using the one block, and it didn't matter if you did get up earlier, there was usually quite a queue due to some who seemed to take forever to shower and use all the hot water! My partner witnessed 3 men in the ladies before 10:30 telling young kids to 'get out', and they only backed down when confronted by her telling them off (and without abuse)!! The disabled toilet and laundry were similarly policed. On being told that by talking to the member of staff cleaning the laundry room would only delay my partners intended use of it, the member of staff was politely told that she could have easily started the dryer going in the time it took the staff member to tell her that!! I expect that we will go back at some point, but we won't rush back!

Favourite site

This is our favourite site. Only an hour from home, but it is our little place in the City. Few sites offer the peace of the countryside on the doorstep of the city, but this one does. Minutes from the site there are beautiful walks on the downs, yet the beach and the city centre with all it has to offer ( and Brighton has much) are within a bus or cycle ride. Yes, there is some noise from the nearby stadium on rare occasions, but this is a city site after all and the peace and quiet on offer for 99% of the time are in fact surprising. I recommend it 100%. Just one little change I would like to see is direct footpath access from the site onto the downs above the site.

Great Site & Staff

Just spent 16 nights at Brighton. What a great site, excellent staff who do a really great and sometimes difficult job and the facilities are spotless. The only downside to this site are some of the ignorant animals who call themselves members of the Caravan Club. OK, there are building works going on which the club are paying for to make things better for its members. What a shame if the remaining toilet block closes at 10.30, can't people get up earlier?? The site staff have allows of tasks to complete during day, not just cleaning toilet blocks. Some of the abuse I have heard these ignorant animals giving to site staff over things that are completely out of the teams control was disgusting. These so called members should have been kicked off site and had their memberships cancelled. Site staff are not there to be abused EVER. On the plus side, the weather has been great, site spotless as always and it seems every time we come here, more and more improvements have been made. Well done to all the site team and the club for a great site, we will definitely be back soon.

Oh dear more problems for Brighton

Good news - the approach road is now fixed and much easier to enter and exit. But, on BH Monday we all experienced unbelievable noise from the football stadium adjoining the site. Three sets of drums, a siren, trumpet and other items were constantly used. Awful man songs were chanted. I wonder if their wives know their macho men are banging drums etc? The noise is now being monitored by environmental services, so the 'beautiful' game can be enjoyed without this idiotic crowd spoiling the day.

Easter Break

We found this to be a very clean and tidy site (despite one toilet block still under refurbishment which left the other block rather busy). staff very friendly, excelaant location for Brighton and surrounding areas. Great walks across the downs for both humans and dogs.

Great place for a seaside break

We really enjoyed our stay here.  The Sheepcote Valley is a wonderful place to walk with the dog, and the Marina is walking distance as well.  Buses are frequent.  The site staff were friendly and the place was very clean.  (Too many rabbits for our dog's peace of mind).  My recurring problem is the lack of dry space to put bags/ in the shower - a small shelf on the dry side would make all the difference!

Easter Break

Just returned from 4 nights at this site and we really enjoyed it. We were also surprised by how much we enjoyed the city itself. The site was about half full as we had the week before the holiday weekend and was beginning to fill nicely as we left. Quite a relaxed view of vehicles per pitch, but that doesn't bother us. Make sure that you have good sturdy rock pegs if you intend to put an awning up on a hard pitch, as they have really solid foundations. We've booked to return in October.

Weekend visit

A very nice site with well marked and laid out pitches. On arrival we were number 2 in a line which seemed to cause a little congestion, this caused something of a panic and a sharp response from staff. The toilet blocks were down to one which caused no issue as even though the site was full they were clean and could be described as a credit to the staff, I did however on one visit to the block miss the sign saying closed for cleaning, possibly obscured by the family leaving the block at the time, being told off like a naughty school boy at my age was not appreciated nor I think warrented. As a polite suggestion its a caravan club camp site not an HMP.
