Let down by general unkempt scruffy appearance thanks to extension of No Mo May
I have used this site on several occasions at all times of the year and generally have found it excellent .. good clean facilities, handy location for London and M25, great staff etc. We have a dog and find the access to woods, bridleways and recently the large field and grounds of the Denham Grange Hotel very convenient and useful.
It is generally a quiet site during the day ( quite a few units belong to people working away from home eg HS2 engineers and the like and tourists visiting London ). It is next to Denham Aerodrome and is overflown by helicopters and light aircraft at all times with associated noise and smells. We can ignore this ( though it is annoying at 5.30 am ) for the other conveniences... some people easily frustrated by such disturbances won't like it !
What has disappointed on our most recent visit is the general unkempt appearance of overgrown grass everywhere including the fingers between quite a few of the pitches. You could not sit or use the grassy areas either side or behind our pitch. I know the excuse from the Wardens and no doubt backed up by the Club will be 'it's Green Tourism' and supportive of the ' No Mow May' campaign, But come on .. it's nearly July !
There is one patch of grass that has been planted out well with wild flowers which provides an excellent display. The other uncut grassy areas are full of weeds and just look scruffy.
I tried the electricity metering trial .. didn't like it ... a complete faff. I would have liked to given feedback but haven't been asked yet.
Ending on a positive - the new site wide free WiFi service ( by BT ) is excellent and a great positive improvement.
