The newly refurbished pitches on the lower half of the site and the splendid new facilities blocks are indeed very welcoming as were the staff but I guess we just happened to experience an anomaly on our visit on July 23/24. We were pitched on one of the new fully serviced pitches on the lower level but regrettably they are all sited around an island that houses the sewage system and there was a vent pipe just 20ft from our unit which emitted the smell one would identify as sewage - perhaps we were down wind but as the pitches are arranged around this island, someone would be down-wind. As mentioned on other reviews, there was some road noise in the day-time, it did quieten down in the evening but on quite a few occasions in the evening and up to 23:00 hrs there were very load crashes from what appears to be a industrial site of some sort at the end of the lane leading past the site. As the serviced pitches are adjacent to the lower perimeter next to the industrial site it was like being in a railway shunting yard (if I recall from the distant past!). As we were only staying for two nights there was nothing to be gained by complaining to the managers about things over which they had no control. Perhaps the sewage system was not working as designed? In my view the pitches are sited too close to the plant. I found the upper site more attractive, but it did not have the fully serviced pitches we now find easier to use. R and S .
