We arrived around 1.15 p.m. and met by a friendly member of site staff we then went off to find a pitch. The site was quiet as quite a few people had left that morning so a good choice of pitches, we picked our pitch and notified the staff in reception. We pitched to the left as part of the new system being trialed. This set up we feel on some pitches is great and suits us and the dogs.
A caravan arrived just after us a few pitches down, a lovely couple who also had a dog and we enjoyed chatting to them and then we began to set up. Whist we was setting up someone went onto the pitch next to us, after a short period they walked passed us and made an inconsiderate comment which totally changed the atmosphere and the joy of arriving on holiday. We were buzzing, happy, busy setting up and the dogs excited to have arrived, most people walk past others and smile or say hello and are friendly. It felt like the ambience had changed, however we decided not to let their comment affect us (be kind to people whilst they are setting up, you may hear some noise). A few nights later another couple arrived and went onto the pitch next to us with their dog who were friendly and said they were looking forward to their stay.
On-site during our stay, the site itself was very quiet in the week for August quite a few empty pitches compared to previously when we have been. Seemed a few more arrived over the weekend, there was Motorhomes, caravans, a lovely couple with a parrot, couples, dogs, and families, a teenager going round on their bike. Broadway is a great for couples, families, dogs, and child friendly site. At night we didn’t hear noise or any of the families/children, dogs on site, you could only hear the owls and cows in a nearby field. We enjoyed watching the steam/diesel trains and visited the cafe at the station.
When we were packing up a few people stopped; chatted, and said hello to the dogs and talked about which other sites they had been to and enjoyed.
Facilities - are great, clean and well looked after by the staff
Pitch - we loved our pitch, however not sure if we will pick it again if it was free (possibly as it’s a great pitch)
Eating/Drinking - short drive or you can walk into Broadway. We decided rather than the on-site chip van to use Russell’s Fish and Chips and glad that we chose this option although slightly more expensive. The pizza van on site is great. Also don’t forget the little cafe across the road at Broadway Station.
Staff/customer service - all polite, friendly and helpful.
Likely to stay again - yes as we have said we would meet up with some friends soon to help them and it’s also a favourite site.
Would we recommend Broadway - definitely. (5/5).
