Very Disappointed

On arrival we were told that we could have a choice of three pitches and once we had picked one to let them know which one we had chosen. The site seemed to be spread out in a very random way but we chose a pitch and began to set up our awning, The hard standing for the awning was terrible and basically made of MOT stone (like crushed rocks) but with large rocks exposed on the surface, this made pegging the awning down virtually impossible. After a short while and a dozen bent heavy duty pegs we finally got the awning pegged down. Then came the next problem..... the rocks all over the surface made it impossible to put the carpets down due to them sticking up all over the place which meant our awning couldn't be used for sitting and eating in for the 2 weeks we were there, simply unacceptable for the cost of the holiday! The facilities were immaculate and cleaned on a regular basis and likewise the recycling facilities were also disinfected and cleaned regularly too. Now for my main serious issue...... we chose our pitch on the road that leads through the top of the site which turned out to be like a mini racetrack with cars and campervans well exceeding the 5mph speed limit, when I approached the warden to complain about this I was asked how I expected him to police this issue!!! His attitude towards this serious health and safety concern was unacceptable and left me very frustrated. The simple thing is that this site needs a serious injection of cash to install proper hard standing pitches and more importantly speed ramps to be installed around the whole facility before a child or a dog walker is run over. My next issue is that caravans with awnings are not permitted on the Lochside due to them blocking the views for the rest of the site which is understandable BUT campervans with canopies with tables & chairs, washing lines and all the equipment taking up as much room as a small awning is acceptable. I find this rule simply unbelievable.. Fort William has plenty of shops with bars, restaurants and take-aways to cater for everyone but the lack of things to do around the site has put us off, you have to travel quite a distance for the local shop or pub. We did have a beautiful day visiting Mull and the small island of Iona being stunningly magnificent although it was an early morning to catch the 3 ferries but well worth the planning. Overall our stay at Bunree was quite disappointing after such a long journey to get there from the midlands and on reflection there are other sites in that location that I would try in the future, we love the highlands and islands of Scotland and will certainly return to that area.
