OK site but consider close proximity to children's play area

Just returned from an 8 night booking, but reluctantly had to leave after 3 nights because of loud children noise from dusk till dawn in the neighbouring fields static holiday sites play area, which was only 10 meters at most from our van on pitch-7. This would probably be less of an issue on the first few pitches, but certainly an issue for pitches 5 to 8, if like ourselves you prefer a little peace and quiet. The site was otherwise generally ok, however, most pitches only had hard standing for your van, and some awning pitching would require siting on newly prepared ground areas that are currently unfit for this purpose being just soiled areas recently seeded. Our neighbours on pitch-6 had to dismantle their awning at the first sign of wind as their pegs were being simply pulled out of the soil. This will obviously improve but will take time. There was inadequate refuge and recycling bins for eight pitches (despite being marketed and claiming to be a CL site), with just 1 small bin for each of general/card/bottles which resulted in them mostly been full and overflowing. However, this may have been the consequence of easter weekend collections, which may occur more frequently outside of this period. Then to top our stay off, albeit just bad luck for us, we had a non-UK 5-wheeler pitched as our other neighbour on pitch-8, so we experienced zero privacy as their rig opened onto and facing us :o(

Hi and thank you for your review.  I appreciate we had some noise on the busy Easter weekend from kids playing in the adjacent field but this is not normally an issue.  You fail to mention that the guests on pitch 6 dismantled their awning due to the 40mph winds that we experienced so just want to add that for a bit of context - the guests on pitch 1 have dismantled their awning due to the strong winds.  We have had recently seeded pitches which should have had grass on them but due to the weather being so poor for the past month the grass has not grown as much as it should have, its not something I had planned for sadly.

I do wish you could have come and highlighted any of your concerns with me and I would have have tried to help you - I could have offered you another pitch to move to, I do try to accommodate guests as much as I can.  Our bins are checked regularly and whilst the recycling was overflowing (great that all the guests were recycling) it was quickly changed.  The bin setup I have is never an issue, I rather just the two bins that are changed regularly to somewhere where a lot of rubbish can accumulate and start to smell.  

With regards the non uk 5th wheeler I didn't think this was a problem as the spaces between my pitches are very big so I think the privacy people have here is a lot more than most sites.    

Please contact me directly if you wish me to address any more of your concerns as I want guests to have the best experience with me that they can and if they haven't then I am not doing the best job I can as a site owner.
