Great location but the wardens have given up.
I used this site four years ago and was well aware of the facilities and surroundings It had previously been very well kept. It is in a great location for touring the local area. This site was the last but one stop for me on a tour to Scotland and I had stayed at some wonderful CMC sites in the previous days. I have a motorhome and on arrival at the sites motorhome service point, I found it was filthy beyond belief and a serious health hazard.The waste water pipe was leaking every time you turned the tap on and was lying in wet mud. Although the sun was out the mess around the service point showed that it had been that way for days. Whilst filling up my new vehicle I ended up with mud all over the carpets. I found myself one of the few available pitches and had to pull stinging nettles out of the hard standing before I could erect my awning. I stayed for three nights and saw all the site was covered in fall out from the trees, but during my stay, I did not see any of the wardens carry out any site maintenance whatsoever or as in the previous sites I had just stayed , walk around with a leaf blower. I spoke to what I believe to be the male assistant warden and asked him could he repair the leak at the motorhome service point as it was a health hazard. He told me .".No, the water board make us use those fittings". I explained the water pipe was lying in mud and perhaps the water board would not be happy with a water leak. In fact I have seen different fittings at other sites. he said "that's where people throw it". As there was no place for the pipe to be hung up I suggested to the warden that he fit a hose reel just like other sites. He said "no". I reminded the warden that he cannot just give up as it was his responsibility to maintain the site. His parting words were " write to the club". As a prolific user of club sites this is not the attitude I expect from a warden and I have taken photographs should the area manager wish to contact me. As previous reviewers have said, all the pitches had weeds or moss coming through and had not seen any work for years.
