Wardens need to up their game - good site but needs looking after

The site is well laid out but does have some road noise if you are on the level with the toilet block, the lower level is much quieter and also has the children's play area. Unfortunately the wardens have changed since our last visit and this shows, disabled toilet floor did not appear to have been cleaned for several days - same piece of debris remained unmoved, also the waste bin (yellow) was not emptied on a daily basis, only twice in a week! Then after someone spilled something on the floor it was mopped (in a fashion) but some of the lotion was left on the grout between the tiles, this was easily removed with a bit of tissue but unfortunately it remained there for the rest of our stay. Hand drier in the gents toilets remained out of commission for several days and had not been repaired by the time of our departure. The single unisex toilet, which had remained open for the first couple of days was then locked and remained out of service. Weeds allowed to grow on hard standings and grass not kept as short as is usual for club sites. Only time I saw wardens about was to empty the dustbins in the morning. No attempt appears to have been made to try to slow down the drivers who insist that 20 mph or more is acceptable on site, this is something which happens on a lot of sites recently but does need addressing - as was found out a few years ago at a site where there was an accident. Come on wardens, it is time to improve your game, this job is not just something to sit back and enjoy instead of retirement! Despite all this the site is well positioned for exploring the area and within walking distance of Barnard Castle if you felt like a walk.
