Still the benchmark !

Stayed here three years ago and wrote that this site set the standard against which all others should be judged. This still applies. Just come back from 10 nights there with a motorhome. The roads across the island were suffering massive roadworks and diversions. Add to that it was festival time around Newport, the small roads and the density of traffic there anyway, we elected to purchase 7 day tickets for the bus. The bus service is fantastic across the Isle of Wight. £24 lets you take as many buses as you like. No jams, no parking and no stress. For those wanting to drive motorhomes, the site has compiled a list of places to park them and the prices. The nearest bus stop is outside the gate (Tues and Fri only) or a brisk 10 minute walk away for the half hourly service. The meals at the Pointer Inn nearby are so good we had to go twice - not the same day though!. There are only two points I wonder about with regard to the site - the first is why there is 'caution hot water' stickers in the washing up / prep area when the water is so lukewarm. Strange because the showers are plenty hot enough. The second is what is 'bin abuse'? The sign in the prep area refers to the bin being removed due to 'bin abuse'. Is this some form of mental cruelty to bins? Violence to refuse receptacles? or perhaps even a darker side of abuse that shouldn't be discussed here? Whatever the reason, it is a touch inconvenient if you want to throw veg trimmings for example. At the time we were there it was all you would expect from a 5 star adult only site.
