Road noise on some pitches
Nowhere on the website or any reviews say anything about road noise on some pitches, nor did the wardens.
Thankfully we only stayed one night but that one night was far from peaceful and quiet as the website had led me to believe. The main road runs alongside several of the pitches and the traffic bombing past with great regularity continued until around 1 am and started up again at around 4am, three hours sleep just isn’t enough for me these days.
I am aware that external road noise is outside of the wardens remit and also that of the Club, but to give the site a 5/5 for peace and quiet is very misleading! I was after and under the impression the site would be quiet during the usual quiet times over night as there was no mention of the road noise and wanting a peaceful stopover was the reason I’d booked, if I’d known there were pitches close to a main road I’d have thought again and not booked this site.
The site itself is lovely the wardens helpful, friendly and welcoming, the walk to town is fairly short and can be either footpath along the road or across the fields. Tuesday is market day so most shops are closed on a Monday which was a shame but not a major problem. It’s a shame that I felt the site was in a way misleading in its advertising and won’t be returning as it is just too noisy for me
