Lost its WOW factor

Even though we are members we have never had discount.

It all seems a bit hectic and loud, which is a shame as we have stayed on this site for a number of years with no problems. The staff are polite, will always help were they can and are making good of what seems to be a difficult transition. The majority of pitches are flat, some are quite sloping especially 201 - 216 & 36 - 38 so you need to prepare for that. They have always been accommodating to pitch selection when we have requested them.

The shop is ok but pricey. The road down is narrow, hazardous and now made worse with a regular bus service hauling down it. There are more obstructions since the take over which we can only assume is from the local residents.

The barn is only open a limited number of nights, drinks are served in with plastic beakers which you pay a deposit. Again drinks are expensive. The pub on site is limited for space. The barn used to have activities for children, these have been taken away for entertainment but it is closed most of the week so if you want a chilled beer you have to wait for seats in the on site pub or go off site!

When we stayed, the toilets had issues most days especially the mens. If I wanted a dry, clean shower room then I was in before 6am. Some of the sanitary bins were overflowing. It is such a shame they used to be immaculate! One of the mens showers was vandalised and the toilets were blocked on a daily basis. Drainage companies where on site to sort pretty quickly but this was over a couple of days.

Queues for the showers around 8-9am were long from what I saw. The Stable Field has unisex showers, not ideal for young children or teenagers. The lights in the showers on site are sensor lights.

The play park is suitable up to 12 years and comoact. Although some good apparatus. There is really nothing for older teens on site. The parents of younger children got a bit pecky with the teens being in the park.

Older children were singing at the top of their voices or playing man hunt at night and they were hiding on guest pitches and used the electric hook up gaps on the pitches for shortcuts.

There was an e-scooter flying about, commercial vehicles were never allowed on site, they are now. Speed limit wasn't stuck to, football was played between pitches even though there is a football field, off lead dogs roaming onto other pitches to toilet and approaching passing dogs on lead!

Some pitches have stunning views but of the estuary, if you walk to the top of the lane or Crook Hill you will get a sea view.

For a quieter stay, maybe during term time would be best.
