CL inspections

Is that in Scotland Navigateur? It may be different elsewhere but certainly the rules have been eased this year to provide as much accommodation as possible. In England this is on a temporary basis but I wonder if there'll be an extension and rethink?

Mikey - you'd have been very welcome on one well known North Cornish coastal commercial site this year where the owner was, allegedly, suggesting that bookings would have to be  cancelled unless guests were prepared to do exactly that (Covid related staffing shortages were stated as the reason.)

To be honest I was unsure what the correct protocol is on these issues. I have tried to meet a mid point on my comments and actions. There was another issue, but I did not mention this as it was addressed on check-in.

I could have left a negative review on the sites link but I did not leave any review.

An odd day I could understand, but 4 days of lack of basic hygiene is not acceptable by anybodies standards or mindset, covid or not, and I doubt my comments would alter such an attitude on a long term basis if I had made them known to the owners.

I think this is an issue that the C&MC need to be aware of for when site inspections are made..

I agree totally that if toilet facilities are provided, then cleaning and checking should happen at least daily. More than that given the current situation would be preferable. Perhaps from your overall experience, the Site does need a bit of a wake up call.

Your experience seems to be at odds with the four reviews of this site in 2021. I would encourage you to leave a review, it needn't be negative, just factual. I assume there were elements of the site you did like? If so you can give a balanced review whilst getting your points across about the toilet situation. As Maddie has said that inspections of CL's only happens once a year who is to say the situation would be the same as during your stay. It seems from the current reviews that your experience was unusual. This leads we to wonder whether there was a issue you were unaware of which was impacting on the state of the toilet?

I wondered as well DK, although there is another review that highlights what EMotters says. Owners work full time, one for NHS, so who knows🤷‍♀️ But, if they are provided, then need to be serviced, inspected. Providing but not cleaning is undermining expectations badly. Better not to provide at all as far as I am concerned.

Yes I saw the same report. I do find it slightly pathetic that people who have adequate facilities in their own units are "afraid" to use their own facilities - Cue the abuse!

Are you suggesting that you wouldn't have cleaned the CL toilet if you wanted to use it? 

There are vans around without facilities, maybe this is the case for Colin's van and I can understand the disappointment if the facilities expected and provided aren't clean. But there are only two immediate options, contact the owner or clean them yourself. A review can be added later.

We never returned to a site where spiders outnumbered the humans using the facilities! 

did it actually state people would be afraid as you've put in it quotes?

In my opinion, the item was a publicity stunt to gain free advertising on the BBC by a site owner who never seems to miss a trick.
