The pitch spoilt the holiday
We have stayed at Hillhead twice now; the first time was in August 2014 the second was August 2015, both times for about 14 or so nights.
Both years we booked a serviced pitch; last year we were 'given' the last serviced pitch they had – 192. We didn't like this pitch was it was a bit noisy and small and we had to pitch side on...
This year we were again given the last serviced pitch they had left which was 193. This pitch was even smaller than 192 and again we had to pitch side on with the front and the side of the caravan about 3 feet from a hedge, the made the inside of the caravan very dark and it felt like a prison. Pitch 193 is also on the main road through the side so if the kids wanted to play swingball they were about a meter from the cars hurtling past. It was so noisy with site traffic; some morning’s people were driving around at 5am.
The food in the clubhouse is over priced and the kids food is horrendous especially the sausages, they are like sponge. I asked what the meat content of the kids sausages were I was told 100%, I then asked for the allergen info and the sausage were actually 32% meat which is the lowest meat content allowed by law. The kid’s meals also included a nasty drink full of colourings and artificial sweeteners, I asked if they could have fresh juice instead but I was told no so we gave them water.
We saw many people arriving early and walking around the site and reserving pitches with hook up cables and chairs before they booked in, I guess this is how you get a good pitch.
Not really a great holiday especially for £800.
