Good for families

Fantastic!!!!

We've just left Hillhead after the best 7 days. We were a little worried before arriving that the site would be huge, overcrowded and a bit tight to get our van pitched onto. We couldn't have been more wrong. There were lots of families and lots of kids but the site is totally geared up for that. The swimming pool is lovely and warm (despite being outdoors) definitely warmer than some indoor pools I've been in so it was great even when the weather wasn't quite as warm. The evening entertainment for the kids was brilliant and our 2 boys (aged 5&7) loved every minute. (Special mention to Wishy Washy the magician/kids entertainer who was fantastic.) Added to that is the games room right next door to the bar/restaurant. I'm usually a little wary of letting my kids go far on their own but the set up of the entertainment complex was such that we could happily sit and play bingo or watch the adult entertainment knowing our boys were safe and happy in the games room - only a second away.  The food was great. I thought it was a bit pricey at first but when you see the size of the portions and the quality of the food we were very impressed. Toilets and showers were spacious and kept clean and well maintained. There are also 3 family bathrooms which are brilliant when you have little ones and I think every caravan club site should have them. The wardens were lovely and could be seen regularly out cutting grass etc to keep the site in order. Some pitches looked like they would be tight to get into for our size van (7.93m) with no motor mover but there were plenty that were easy enough. The surrounding areas has loads to keep you entertained. beaches, a zoo, a model village, riverboat and steam train and probably loads more that we didn't get time for.  All in all one of the best holidays we've had. Just a shame it's an 8hr drive from where we live or we'd be there more often.
