Lovely clean site, shame about couple of things we saw and heard of.
We arrived here for a few days int he middle of June. The site is very close to Woolacoombe and is accessed via a narrow lane which shouldn't cause many problems as there are several passing points.
The female warden was very nice and welcoming when we arrived.
We to a hardstanding pitch not far from the toilet block and entrance. Nice sized pitches and very level. We didn't go for grass purely because we knew the weather wasn't going to be good during our stay. The site is quite big and very well maintained.
Surprisingly there is only one toilet for the whole site but this did not cause any problems, we never had to queue for any of the facilities. It is kept clean at all times. There is even an outdoor wet suit shower which is worth its weight in gold.
The site is peaceful even during the Euro football tournament. TV reception was good and the internet was adequate.
There is a walk accessed through a locked gate (key given at check in), this is an old railway line which is now paved. Its good to take your dog out for a little walk. Our dog didn't like it for some reason, he was very reluctant to go out of the gate. Talking to two other people, theirs were the same, don't have a clue why!
There are four wardens, we only had dealings with two of them who were very friendly and nice.
I heard several negative comments about one of the other wardens and saw a couple of incidents involving him and believe me if he had spoken to me that way he spoke to these people (both women) I would have given him a mouthful!
First incident was a caravan next to ours arrived and on the first night, they were sitting in the awning obviously catching up, they weren't particularly loud and weren't doing anything to cause offence, they even went completely quiet at 1030 pm. The next morning I overheard the said male warden tell them off about the noise saying someone had complained and had threatened to leave the site. I heard him say I don't mind a little noise up till 9.30pm but then it should be quiet!!! What is this? The army!! He sounded very abrupt when he said this!!
The other incident was a couple of kids (well behaved and polite kids I must point out) decided to have a little play with a ball on and empty field behind the wardens hut, there were no caravans in the field so they weren't doing any harm. The same warden told them off and was quite rude about it. They had an adult with them too!
These are not good advertisements for the Caravan Club.
So all in all, it is a lovely site but Mr Job's Worth seems to spoil it for some. If you want to meet up with friends on a site and have a catch up in the evening then this isn't the place for you.
