A lovely site but standards and costs escalating?
We have visited Broadway site many times and its our favourite on the network. Some years ago the goods shed toilets were refurbished on the top of the site, however they are now beginning to look tired with black mould around the sealant in the showers?
The steam trains at the top of the site are an added bonus especially if you can get a pitch next to the goods shed as we did; but going to fill the water and empty the waste I discovered the tap / drain next to the goods shed is now blocked off and sealed over, this now necessities a walk to the lower level and a tug back uphill with your water barrels, annoying for me but could be a major issue for guests with mobility issues? Why have the wardens done this, a fellow camper said because cars are parked adjacent, but that does not seem a sensible reason for me!
My biggest concern however is the cost of staying; this week along with all other club members, I received the email from the Clubthat pitch prices are again rising, not so long ago a stay at Broadway outside of high season was sub £20.00 but not anymore, prices have risen dramatically and the Service Pitches are now edging £40.00 per night and wifi is extra. I realise the club has to invest in the sites but prices of plus £30.00 per night outside of high season are becoming too expensive for me, many private sites are now more competitive and that can't be right?
Maybe a step back to reflect is required by the club to review what they actually provide for what is now a lot of money?
