I'll start with a question. What does the Club get out of this being an affiliated site? Members get zero out of it. The site admits members and non-members (unlike a members only affiliated site we have visited many times). The charges are identical to members and non-members. There is no benefit from being a CC member if choosing to stay at this site. Sandra the warden, and Colin the relief warden, are welcoming and very helpful. (I wish the same could be said for all CC wardens - sadly a minority don't fit this description.) In my experience the wardens can greatly enhance, or alternatively spoil, any visit. Here they enhance a visit. The pitches are large. (They are pre-allocated. We paid extra for a lakeside pitch.) The site is very well maintained. As are the facilities. (The facilities may look inadequate in number for the pitches but even when the site was full the toilet block close to us was hardly used.) The whole site is rather exposed and in some ways has a somewhat sterile feel, despite the lake. (I do not fish. I can see the lake could be a huge attraction for anyone who wants to fish.) There are some negatives. At a busy time direct access from the A1 northbound could be perilous due to right turn across A1. (No problem from A1 southbound.) The showers are push-button with a fixed temperature. To use the hairdryer (ladies only - none in gents) there is a 20p charge. Wifi is ridiculously costly. I used 3 dongle on laptop instead which worked well. No newspapers can be ordered. They can be bought from filling station on A1 but that isn't a trip one would necessarily choose to make before a leisurely breakfast.
