Due to the new access road, our favourite site is no longer available to us!
We have just returned from our favourite site, which we use up to three times a year and we have come away feeling absolutely distraught, the reason being that the new access road, the way it has been designed, leaves you fraught and concerned that you may damage your caravan arriving or departing from the site.
The new access road is an absolute nightmare and a danger to caravan and motorhomes transiting it. You will see on the 'site information,' the story of what has gone on and it looks like the Club is trying to rectify the problem but until the road is made more user friendly, we
have decided not to return and have cancelled our two further bookings to the site.
The problem with the road is that it is now single track width, with large boulders either side, so any slight swing of the back end of the caravan and you miss them by inches. There are two (maybe three) overtaking places which are only just big enough for a single car, also there is a blind corner prior to entering the site.
If you wish to design a road to deter large vehicles and caravans, this would be it! We pity the poor club members that will either come to grief from damaging their caravan or even worse, meeting another large vehicle/outfit coming the other way. The majority of the boulders are just too big to be manhandled and the resulting gridlock in both directions would make the situation newsworthy!
At the moment the College is closed so the road prior to the access road to the site has no parked cars, however, departing with our caravan today, it was still tight trying to manoeuvre past the queue of cars waiting and other parked cars, as we exited. When the College opens and more people park in this area, the entry and exit to the access lane will be chaotic.
The good news is that once we had arrived, the site is still fantastic. We were greatly impressed on our arrival, where five caravans were waiting to enter, the procedures the staff used was excellent. They required just our membership cards and then waived us all through and required us to return once we had pitched up, to make our payments. Their Covid safe procedures for the toilet blocks are also simple and easy to follow.
We look forward to the road being improved so we can enjoy this lovely site again.
