We pre booked this site in May. The price advertised and still is advertised, was £17 per night plus £1 per night for awning. Cash on arrival. When the owner showed up with her dog to meet us, she informed me that the price had gone up to £19 per night. I just paid and said nothing. But then she asks if we have an awning? I replied yes. She replied “No Groundsheets allowed? I replied but our groundsheets are breathable. She replied in an even more stern voice, no ground sheets allowed at all. Ok I said but what about all the sheep’s poo everywhere? She replied, I can’t do anything about that, this is a farm and we graze the sheep on this field when there are no vans booked in. Obviously this had happened a few days before as there were fresh wet poos everywhere. There was no way I was going to erect my brand new awning on top of sheep’s poo. Nor was I going to sit in said awning with poo under my table and chairs. I’m not sure if this is against DEFRA rules but I do know that humans can get ecoli from sheep’s poo. But that aside, who wants to walk poo into your caravan? The next major hygiene concern was that the only fresh water tap on site was 3 inches away from the animal trough which was green and yucky. If we hadn’t driven three hours to get there and didn’t have excursions booked we would have left and looked for another site. Apart from the bad hygiene, the owner has the people skills of a Neanderthal. There was building works going on in the adjacent field from 8am every morning with diggers etc. Also they were burning grass behind us one day and the caravan was full of smoke. We had to close all windows and roof vents in 23 degree heat. I would not recommend this site at all and I will be reporting it to CAMC.
