Enjoyable but room for improvement
This was our first time to this site and we will deffinately visit the site again as it has some great facilities (entertainment, swimming pool, restaurant) but i believe there are some areas which could be improved to give this a 5 star rating.
I would like to point out though that the wardens were very helpful and kept the site in a good order, however physical changes to the site need to take place to make this more efficient such as an additional toilet block. On several occasions it became apparent that women had to que for lone periods in the morning to get a shower prior to the closure at 1030 for cleaning. This is due to only a small amount of showers for a considerably large site which looks like it has been expanded with a service pitch area. Either the cleaning times should have been changed to allow more time in the morning but i honestly don't believe this would resolve the issue entirely and that an additional toilet/shower block should now be built. My other point would be the dog walk or should i say an 80m stretch with a bend in the middle. Although it meets the objective of being called a dog walk to allow somewhere for the dog to do its business, it is not really a walk and you get more exercise from walking offsite or around it. If this was expanded out onto the adjacent field a bit and fully enclose, this would be perfect and may enable people to let their dog off (if the site allows) to get some exercise. A final point linked to the field next to the dog walk is the field which allows tents around the edge. I believe this is meant to be a play field but i honestly don't think this is ideal for children to either play football or cricket, rounders etc due to the tents around the edge, thus it was not really suitable or used. I understand the club may want to make money from tents and broaden its appeal, however if the dog walk was extended into this field and the field was then allowed for ball games rather than tents, then i believe this would appeal more to families and make this a top site like Hillhead in Devon for example. Well to finish, although these are our points, we must stress the site is very nice and perfectly located for such a lovely seaside place. Although the weather was not ideal, we still did some crabbing off the pier (got some squid from the local monger) and went on a canadian canoe on the broads which was good but would recommend a motor boat if your not too happy about pesky swans coming right up to you and hissing! Overall, Seacroft is a good site and we will visit again, but i think there is some room for improvement to make this one of the best club sites for families!
