We arrived at Seacroft, and were meet by the friendly site team. We pitched up, unpacked and made ourselves comfortable. It didn’t last long, at 6pm the fun fare in the adjacent field started up with blaring music, screaming children and a really aggravating DJ. The fare had been on site all August school holidays and was not due to pack up until the school holidays finished. We were later informed that this a yearly occurrence, although there is no mention of it on the club site. The site itself could be so much more, it has a nice heated outdoor pool, and on site entertainment club. The on site restaurant was closed all during our break, due to lack of a chef. The single shower block is tired and can be what is best described as aromatic. Even planting a few bushes to separate the different sites would help immensely as people, dogs and children on bikes would take the most direct routes through the site.
It’s not the sites fault or the clubs about the fun fare, but if you go back and look at previous August stays, it’s obviously been a on going problem, and one the club should warn members of in advance. The fact you pay a premium price for a disturbed and restless break only adds insult. Whilst we stayed put and made the best we could, plenty of others left early and went to other sites. It’s obviously a nice site or else others would not have rated it so highly, but we will not return to this site again, such a shame it could have been so much better. It will be interesting to see if the club or site responds to any of the poor reviews.
