A great site

Just had a week here with two kids aged 4&8. The bad points: Arriving is extremely stressful. The site is large but the main problem is the many cul de sacs and the fact that the staff don’t tell you the free pitches, (because there’s so many ppl coming and going) so you’re expected to have a second adult who can get out and run down all the lanes looking for you. I, however am a single mum, I had my elderly mum with me but she was pretty useless. So I’m trying to tow the van & read the map at the same time as not running all the kids over that are in the road. i mistakenly went down a cul de sac which was full and got stuck...very stressful. Then I had to block the single width road whilst legging it round trying to find a pitch annoying other people. Eventually found pitch 246 which is by the top field. At first it seemed a lovely spacious pitch, even though it was so uneven it was impossible to level, but after all the stress I didn’t care at this point. However the second night the staff just added a new pitch right next to me with some random pitch number. Spacious pitch suddenly gone, apparently they do this when they’re fully booked (or overbooked). But more annoyingly if I’d have known that was a pitch I’d have gone there myself because mine was so uneven, even with my levellers my water didn’t drain properly and all the tables/chairs in awning very rocky. If you don’t have kids I would not recommend going during school holidays it’s too loud and stressful. It’s a very busy site. The biggest problem was the playground. Not saying this is the wardens fault as it’s up to parents to look after their kids, but unfortunately some guests prefer drinking all day and night and don’t care what their kids do, the pitch opposite to us certainly didn’t care about their kids swearing at young children. The last few nights my kids weren’t allowed in the playground at nights as it kept getting taken over by young teens sweating prolificly and climbing on top of all the play equipment, that the younger kids were trying to copy.or blocking the slide so that they couldn’t use it. My 8 year old son got sworn at a few times when my 4year old was there too. I would suggest that there’s an upper age limit for the playground I don’t think 13/14/15 year olds should be sharing a playground for primary kids, some who haven’t even started school yet. I felt it was unfair that my kids had to be cooped up inside because of the poor behaviour of other people’s kids, again, I appreciate it’s not the wardens fault, but it’s not mine either and I paid a lot of money to stay here & my kids couldn’t play out. Having said this overall we enjoyed it, especially the pool. Great views from playing field.

We have used that site several times and will be there this July,I cannot see how the staff can advise on what pitches are empty as until some come back to advise the pitch no they will not know and as most of us are aware of the amount of times a warden has been looking for those who think its below them to advise the office,

you could have parked on the top road and had a look round first? but i am sure if you had advised the site staff you had not been before and also had a next to useless relative with you, help would have been forth coming, and as for the "add" pitch it was probably being rested after some damage before,

But i do agree that there should be an age restriction in the childrens play area
