Disappointing start to our holiday
Mindful that members had been turned away for arriving before 1.00pm we purposely arrived just before 2.00pm. Only after paying the site fee were we then advised that we would be pitching on the ‘tent’ field, as no hardstandings were available. This was extremely disappointing and unexpected. We drove through the site and on arrival at the field initially found all pitches taken. We were directed to another section and although there were white marker pegs there were no EHU bollards, water or waste disposal points within that vicinity. We decided to speak with the warden and to express our disappointment and given the field location offered, request a full refund with a view to moving off site. Not the best of starts to our holiday ! The warden was quite clear that we could have a refund but would lose the first nights fee even though we had only just booked in. The field area is more suited to tents than caravans and you get a definite feeling of being on the outside of the site looking in. The warden did make an offer that we could move onto a hardstanding when one became available and we did therefore decide to stay. However, we were pitched directly opposite the farm buildings & children’s playground next to which is the gated access to the dog walk. Local teenagers we seen to be accessing the site via this gate and openly using the playground. Excessive noise was emanating on the evening and what was more concerning was that they were walking through the site to use the site toilet block. The next day we did move onto a hardstanding but be aware that these are not always available and members could be pitched on what is really an ‘overspill’ area. Would we return, yes as apart from the first night the site proved to be everything we expected it to be.
