Great if you fish, not so great if you don't.
We have just returned from a 3 night stay at a fully serviced hard-standing pitch.
As we arrived out of season, the reception is closed, it opens in April. There is a board with a phone number to call when you arrive, which worked well. We were allocated pitch 21 which is a serviced hard-standing pitch. Unfortunately our equipment (which has always been fine at other serviced pitches) would not reach the water tap or the drain. The tap was on the opposite side from where our water and waste points are on the caravan. Having looked around the site, we were not the only ones having this problem. Unfortunately the drain for our pitch, which was shared with the next pitch, was not draining away and was flooding the grass in between pitches making the use of the tap very muddy. We did report it so hopefully they will sort it, although this did not happen whilst we were there.
There was only one shower/toilet block, I would imagine this would not be enough when the site has more guests. However, it was fine whilst we were there. The block was warm and clean, the shower had hot water but lacked power, but it was okay.
The toilet waste point is a hole in ground with a tap and hose next to it. I can imagine this would be difficult to use for older guests. There were quite a few flies buzzing around it too.
The site would be great if you fish as it has two lakes which seemed very popular with fishermen. (I don't fish so I am only presuming).
There are quite a few grass pitches on the site, all the ones (apart from the Caravan Club field) seemed to be water logged and extremely muddy. The pitches are quite close to each other which can cause problems when arriving and leaving, we have a mover and were able to pull it out onto the road and avoid the grass and mud.
All in all, we had a nice break but won't be returning.
