First impressions, lovely little site, very quiet ...... until the irish travellers turned up !! to be fair to them, they pretty much kept themselves to themselves, the two families across the way from us arrived back at the site about 5ish were joined by a third family and sat outside chatting in this glorious weather, TILL MIDNIGHT !! not only did they talk and swear loudly there was 6 kids of varying ages screaming and shouting, a couple of the children were toddler age still in nappies running around, obviously the parents were too busy chatting to notice one little girls nappy was full and needed changing, the mother screamed at an older child to look after the younger ones, had a repeat performance the next day although they finished about 11.30pm, made Lorraine the warden aware but her hands seemed to be pretty much tied, we were invited to move which tbh would have been pointless because there were another couple of traveller families dotted around the site, they moved off site and the ambience around the site changed, we remarked about this to the warden, she advised there was a possibilty they would return, which they did two days later, one of the men drove a 22plate silver crew-van and also a 22plate motorhome which was now back on site, but I then observed him dragging a caravan in as well and no sooner had they pitched that he drove off again and returned dragging a 2nd caravan about 30-40 minutes later !! Not sure if thats in the rules.... anyway long story short, I won't stay there again because of the possibility of an irish traveller presence several of the members I spoke to said the same thing, in fact was of them was so unsettled by them that he was going to continue his extended stay at Henley site, I've stayed on other sites where there are travellers but the Irish ones are a breed apart, no consideration at all for anyone else
