We have just spent 3 nights at this site, with another family who joined specifically to come down to Broomfield. On the morning of our 3rd Day the warden approached us and said there had been complaints about noise over the last two nights, we were shocked on both nights we were sitting in the awning chatting, and tucked up in bed by 10pm as we have very young children. Another 2 couples told us they had the same thing from the warden and they had young children too. This is obviously not a child friendly site. As the day progressed we chatted to more couples, and many of the ones with children were told to keep the noise down, and like us they were tucked up in bed quite early. It's a shame that the caravan club is continuing its image of a club for retired caravaners, all the articles in the club magazines try to convince you otherwise.
Comment from The Club:
Many thanks for leaving a review and we are sorry to hear that you do not feel Broomfield Farm is suitable for families. Further to your review the wardens have been in touch as they were very concerned about your comments and wanted to clear up any confusion.
They welcome families to the site and enjoy having children staying. Although the site is quiet and there are not as many facilities as you might find on other Club Sites, it’s in a superb countryside location, perfect for families to explore the area and discover nature, with plenty of fun family attractions nearby, and a great central green area where the wardens encourage children and families to play.
The wardens are sorry they had to approach you on this occasion. This is not something they normally have to do but as they received complaints from other members on the site on 2 separate nights, including from another family staying on site, because of the noise into the night, they needed to ensure you were aware. The complaints reported that it was later than 10pm so we are sorry if this was not the case. We completely understand and appreciate families having fun together and this is something The Club and wardens encourage but we do ask that members are aware of others staying on site.
I hope this helps explain and we would like to again assure you that families are most welcome by the wardens and The Club at this site.
