Easter at Hurn Lane

We enjoyed our stay, the site was up to Club standard as expected. The pitches were spacious and well maintained The wardens again as usual were very helpful and friendly. One downside was the distance from local shops and only thing that spoilt our overall experience was the lack of consideration of others with regard to tidying up after themselves in the toilet block! All credit to the patient wardens for their patience!

We booked for 1 week but was having a enjoyable time stayed 2 more nights. Site was looking immaculate. very friendly and helpful wardens. We towed our car which gave us plenty of places to go although the bus service is good.

Good Weekend Getaway

Just wanted somewhere not too far away from home for a weekend and this was just the job.  Lovely level site not too far from the beach and bus stop.  We were able to get the bus into Weston on the Sunday. As it is out of season it was nice a quiet, we would not go there in high season but would be good for families in high season. Lovely wardens, they are new so be gentle with them.  Will go again.

Opening week!

Start of the season & I want to get away for a 3 night stay somewhere where the weather won't stop me from enjoying myself. This for me is the place. Opening week and the park is ready as it should be. New wardens in at the deep end but with all the charm & enthusiasm they will need to do well here. I used Hurn Lane for a base to tour the area and Cheddar Gorge is an absolute must. A day at Western Super-mare is also a must however expect to get fleeced to park your car on the sea front during the season. Free parking is available on Sunday alone the adjacent road to the sea front otherwise a fight for a space on a side road is the way. Access to the site is via a typical narrow B road and meeting another outfit coming the other way can be challenging as very few passing points so you need to slow down and rely on the others being just as responsible which on the whole they were. Hard to give this site a full overall rating at this time as i haven't seen it in full swing but all looks good....... However it must be a thing with all long outfits and all the sites i have been to thus far, I find the site tight to access the pitch without driving on the grass which is a pet hate of mine. A mover is a great advantage as the lay out of the road requires blind side reversing on most of the perimeter pitches. As most of the pitches require access in this way maybe the direction of travel would be better off in the opposite direction but hey it's only a minor moan and wont take away the pleasure of your stay. Point of note, this site do hold in stock the Light weight Calor gas propane bottles which were always a pain to get hold of last year at many sites so all bases covered when it comes down to basic supply needs however these are cash sales only so don't leave home without a trip to the cash point first! Will defiantly return hopefully later in the season. Top Job!

Traditional seaside fayre nearby

Surprisingly quiet during October half term and a nice spacious site clearly not very busy, disappointing the play area was shut at this time when clearly children wanted to use it. Yet more warden variability with our lhd motorhome and safari room (intending to use it) eliciting the debate as to where we can park and how, other wardens dictate to us which side to use according to make sure we don't overlook anyone else's awnings but here the fire regulations debate reigns supreme. Always ignites a chuckle or two. Toddler washroom was good but no heating at the end of October, another reviewer said disabled room which was adjacent was not heated either recently, potentially a fault there? We use gas very sparingly but WHY OH WHY has the club not gone into this century with letting you buy gas cylinders on card? For years anywhere else it's fine but the club remains behind the times here. When we had a problem with our 2nd (lite) cylinder we discovered it had a faulty valve at the top I had to cycle two miles to a fee charging cash machine to get cash to replace our empty standard cylinder because of this. A minor gripe, I'm fit, I cycle a lot, it was dry but what about less able folk that are clearly within the clubs demographic? Time to get with it, years of wifi moaning worked but will this? Though on that moot point We have given up on club wifi, inconsiderate other members overwhelming capacity renders it useless pretty quickly, I admire the efforts being made to address this but we go without wifi for our trip, it can be done you know, if it's vital we travel to a wifi hotspot. A view from Google Earth of the site nearly put us off, it's in a sea of huge mobile home sites, thankfully these less than attractive (to me at least) buildings are well concealed from overt vision, good job. Usual good club facilities, quite a limited shop but ample local attractions within easily travelling too. Usual problems with member behaviour, inability to flush toilets, ditto to clean up after washing up and snearing at children daring to enjoy themselves. But you see that everywhere usually and we are used to it now.

Mixed feelings

We spent the last week of the season here and found this site in a lovely part of Somerset with nice places to visit and interesting places to see, even in November. We did not come for the famous local carnivals though I know a lot do. We pitched near a service point only to find it was rubbish disposal only, no water or toilet disposal. There was noise from the adjoining commercial sites, and the lack of a dog walking area was a negative too. The pitches were large and flat as we have come to expect. The site was winding up for the winter and not too busy. Still the wardens found the need to moan about my doggie pen encroaching on the grass, rules are rules I suppose, We have visited 33 different club sites so far and never had a problem before. Maybe it has been a long season.

Peaceful Site

A pleasant site, very peaceful and in a good location for walking. Only a couple of negatives: Site leaflet refers to Main Block and Small 2nd Block for toilets/showers, but plan doesn't say which is which, and if they are different sizes on the plan you need a ruler to see which is which! Which matters, as cleaning times differ. Only one was open for our visit, fair enough, it was November. It would have been helpful to have been told this on arrival however, as it would have been to be told that none of the cleaning times in the leaflet were correct, and it was closed from 11 to 12. I of course turned up at 11.10, having waited for it to open at 11 as per the leaflet. I saw a warden leaving it and asked him when it opened, he pointed to the sign blocking the door (which I couldn't read without glasses) and told me it was closed until 12. No apology for being given wrong information, spoke to me like I was an idiot for not knowing. Two hours of a short stay wasted. Shame to have an otherwise lovely visit marred by this sort of silly, thoughtless thing. It is also surprising that as site with 140 pitches only has two service points, so some pitches are a long way from a tap and waste water drain. Unusual for a Club site.

Comment from The Caravan Club:

Many thanks for taking the time to write a review and we are delighted you found the site peaceful and you liked the location. With regards to the toilet facilities, we are sorry to hear you had some issues with this. At this time of year the wardens do advise on arrival that the grass area is closed and that only one toilet block is open, pointing this out on the site map. The toilet block opening times are displayed outside the toilet block and they always have a toilet open for use during cleaning times. Please also note there are 4 service points on the site for 140 pitches. However at this time of year there are 81 pitches and 2 service points open. Pitches are available close to the service points for convenience. We hope this helps explain and we apologise for any inconvenience this caused you. Please be assured the wardens want to ensure the site is maintained to a high standard for members on site and are on hand to offer any advice or assistance if needed. Thank you again for leaving a review and we hope this helped to address your concerns.

Antidote for stress

This small but perfectly formed site met all our expectations. Courteous staff, excellent location, spotless facilities all complimented with dry, flat pitches. We could not have asked for anything more. Will definitely return.

First time in our new 'van!

We stayed here one night to try out our new caravan, fresh from the dealers! My parents stayed in their motor home too for moral support and the warden was extremely helpful when they developed an electrical fault - thank you! A very friendly site.
