Firstly I wasn’t aware we now belong to the MHCC, I thought it was The Caravan and Motorhomes club or has another name change been thrust upon members that we were not made aware of. As for your comments on persecuted dog owners, the club has rules for dogs on sites which seem to be ignored by a considerable percentage of dog owners. These include keeping dogs on a short lead, (regularly ignored) keeping off other people’s pitches( regularly ignored ) and using the dog walks ( regularly ignored). I have in the past had my awning urinated on by someone’s dog, grass pitches contaminated by faeces with only a half hearted attempt to clean it up which I find very annoying as I like to walk round my van barefoot in dry weather on grass pitches. On a very recent trip to Plymouth Sound site a considerate motorhomer allowed his dog to foul the grass near our van despite the entrance to the dog walk being nearer. I am not anti dog, I have owned several in the past. when we started caravanning we decided not to get another. My message is, stick to the rules and you won’t be persecuted. If you don’t want to do that, leave your dog in kennels.

Shame of the club and this that carry out the rules for blatantly making dog owners feel like second class citizens. This is not the first MHCC site that has adopted this stance.
Hopefully all CC sites uphold this policy. If it unacceptable to you then use other sites although most doubtless feel the same as CC

I don’t recognise this site as being the one I visited a week ago. The reviewer’s points about the facility block and signs bear no resemblance to my findings.
The points about dogs and their irresponsible owners are, of course, a reflection on who was on site at the time, not of the site itself.

I think the toilet/shower area must have been updated since this post; We visited mid June 2021 and they were not as described. Toilets were secure, there was no smell and the shower pressure was excellent.
Regarding the dog issue. We are dog lovers but not dog owners, and from the number of dogs on site, they were most definitely welcomed. The problem is owners who let their dogs foul the site - especially the grass. Dog owners please remember that dog urine kills grass and dog poo is difficult to completely remove (though some don't even try; leaving the site staff to clean up after them (and they try so hard to keep the place looking clean and attractive). An added danger of the dog fouling is that small children play (especially on the grass) and may become ill from residual dog mess.
