The Most Unfriendliest&Snooty Site We Have Ever Stayed On

We didn’t get off to a good start when upon arrival we were greeted by a very grumpy male warden who was a complete jobsworth. I would love to know how you are supposed to get out of your car to check in&also keep your car moving forward at the same time?? Three times i was asked very grumpily to move forward (it’s not what you say but how you say it) on each occasion it was just as i had got out of the car to check in!! The site itself is clean and well maintained (including showers/toilets) but we have stayed on better non caravan club sites, it lacked a friendly atmosphere (had none) and even though we have a great outfit everyone was unfriendly and snooty. I dread to think how someone would be made to feel if they rocked up in a dated car and caravan.......all in all a very disappointing stay and we would not stay again as that’s not why we joined the club to receive that sort of welcome.

Perhaps is you that’s unfriendly and snooty. The length of some caravans these days mean the arrivals lane can only accommodate 4 units safely.

Outfits must be kept off the highway, next time stay in your car until you are at the front of the queue like the rest of us...

As upsticks suggests it is necessary to think of others. If you get out of your vehicle from part way down a queue you are blocking incoming units with the result that an outfit can be left hanging out onto the lane which is also a bus lane. 

On the last holiday I waited until I had moved to the front of the queue before going to reception. Meanwhile somebody from a motorhome in fourth place and one in third place walked past me to go in reception. The result was vehicles stuck out onto the road.

Posh outfits don't impress and gain acceptance as much as a pleasant manner and a smile

Isn’t it strange 4 hours before your post someone else reviewed the site and ask the ‘Wardens to keep up the good work and see you next year’

I have never seen the sense in leaping out of your vehicle until you get to the head of the queue. The wardens always process arrivals sequentially, so you are not going to get on site any quicker, just block the access.

The warden was probably very nice the first time that he asked the OP to stay with the vehicle. By the third time he might indeed have been a bit short!laughing

“…even though we have a great outfit everyone was unfriendly and snooty.”

I wonder just who it is has aloof tendencies?🤔

Come on, B&B, this is a site review, not a place to moan because you lacked common sense on arrival. What was the site like? Were the facilities good? Did you use the local pubs? What places did you visit? Does the shop at the bridge still sell great whippy ice creams?

Thanks so much for your highly amusing responses😂we had no idea you all witnessed our arrival&that you all presume we are pretentious, with no common sense (we are retired professionals) and have a “posh” setup 

Obviously hit a nerve with you all, so one can only assume that you all were the unfriendly&snooty people that we mentioned🤔 

We are all members of the same club??? Or is the “C” for condescending and not caravan?

Lots of Love

B&B💞

All the posts are  replies to what from yourselves seem by your "review"/rant a self inflicted "problem" going by other reviews of the site and our visits cool

Oh, dear, B&B. Are you not familiar with the saying "when in a hole, stop digging"?

Did you really consider it sensible to leave your outfit in such a way that it prevented others pulling in off the road rather than sensibly moving forward? The poor warden asked you to move forward not once but three times!

Old outfit or new, it’s all the same to me. I accept people for what they are, not by what they have or what they perceive themselves to be.
