Refurbished? Then they forgot the toilet block.

I found this site a real mixed bag, after spending a week there earlier this month (Sept 18). Positives were; Its proximity to the beach via a hard path through the park (15+minutes walk for the able bodied). A number of average interest easy flat walks with no stiles or gates, suitable for wheelchairs/pushchairs direct from the site (to Bury Port or around the Country park). Relatively quiet when the kids went back to school. A really friendly, helpful group of wardens. Site well-kept, toilet block aside (but recently refurbished?). Reasonable nature-watching nearby. Negatives were, and in no particular order; Totally uncontrolled kids riding bikes ridiculously fast around the site. The usual inconsiderate members with TV's and radios so loud that reading outside became a challenge and on one evening, trying to read inside too! A tired and well-worn toilet block with only four shower cubicles in the mens, where it closed from 10:30am for cleaning, resulting in multiple visits on some mornings to get a shower before it closed. The slowest water flow on the water points that I've ever encountered. Beach access for dog owners meant negotiating steep climbs through sand or sand/sandy steps. Not suitable for those with limited mobility. Did I enjoy my stay? Generally,Yes. Would I recommend it? Read my points above and decide for yourself.

I’d recommend the site irrespective of the points the reviewer made. Most of them are either beyond the club's control or of a passing nature.

In reply to JVB66, unless they've moved the site since your visit, then yes it was Pembrey. Yes, there was level access to the beach but, according to the official signs, and talking to a local dog owner, if you want to take a dog on the beach then steep climbs over the dunes are required. I would therefore welcome advice from you as to where the level access is, where dogs are allowed. It would be useful information for us to share and look forward to being corrected.

As for the showers and the daily queueing, maybe I, and the others I spoke to who voiced the same dissatisfaction, were just unfortunate. As you say, there are indeed 23 hours when they are open, however I personally, prefer to shower first thing in the morning before I go out. I do appreciate that for others, that may not be important to them. I  merely report things as I find them.
