Very poor and NOT dog friendly

This is a CL which is basically a small patch of gravel on an industrial estate, this includes a micro brewery. There are electronic gates then you then have to drive through a car park which serves the canal boats. Although sign posted as a CL, the canal boat residents have full access to the CL walking through to use their toilet/shower facilities, those staying on the CL can use these which I think allows the ridiculous price of £21.00 per night. I didn't leave my van as I was simply too scared, there is no boundary and anyone from the marina can walk in. As for dog friendly, it is not. I was given a stern warning not to allow my dog to pee on the grass next to my van or the gravel, I had to walk out of the CL through the totally dark car park to a dustbin area, I was then given another warning of not picking up dog poo...…...there are dozens of dogs from the marina boats so I was very insulted before I had even hooked up. Noise......A big factory on the opposite side of the canal emits a hum like a generator all night. Views.... You might as well be in any town centre, just rows of houses with a distant view of Kinder Scout. This site is not worth the money and I dread to think what it would be like when full. Not acceptable to charge members this price.

Comment from the Club:

Many thanks for leaving a review. The CL owner has been in touch as he works really hard to ensure everyone has a wonderful stay at their site and wants to clear up any confusion. Their site page does show that the shower facilities are shared. The Marina has electric gates, fencing and two caretakers who live on site. The CL owner is around regularly as well so the site has great security in place. There is a designated area for dogs to use and they ask that all guests use this area with their dogs to keep the site and pitches nice for other members. He is not sure what noise disturbed you during the night. The factory mentioned is a large old sweet factory which is about a 1/3 mile away and does not make any noise. It could have possibly been a boat that had their engine running to use their onboard facilities and we apologise this disturbed your stay.
