Great expectations, however....

We and our motorhome arrived around about 5pm and had a very nice reception from the owners. This is a working farm and therefore the long bumpy driveway was not unexpected. Unfortunately our troubles started immediately we tried to find a position that was even close to level. This site is on a two-way sloping field which, even with the use of levelling ramps, did not allow us to get the 'van' level. This meant that our heating system did not work for the first night. We had better luck on our return the second night, occupying a pitch that had been vacated, but the 'van' still could not be levelled. I noted that even the three 'hard-standing' pitches were sloping. The grass on the site was not mown, the black water site was disgusting and the fresh water tap had no hose or connector. We did not stay for our final night. This year I have stayed at a number of sites and have always left positive reviews, but on this occasion sadly that is not possible. A great location with much potential, which if realised would make this a great place to visit.

 

Message from The Club:

Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed your time in the area. We regret to hear, however, that you did not feel the quality of the site as up to standard. I'm sorry you were unable to level your van the hard standings are to be improved this winter. We do cut the grass on site regularly in summer but it is left longer in winter. The waste water area is checked regularly, and we will be replacing the wooden fence that hides the area this winter. The fresh water tap does not have a hose as this is not allowed by the Caravan Club. We would welcome you to contact us directly if you wish to discuss your experience in further detail.
