Great location, some minor problems

Came for a walk around this site a couple of years ago and managed to finally book a 4 day weekend away here on first outing with new caravan. On arrival pleased to see that the road outside has been widened to make access a bit easier. Warden on duty was OK and pointed out the two remaining pitches for awnings, (1st trip out wanted to try awning on van) He said we would have to pitch with car across front of van as no room alongside although there were trees and grass and a nice spot with good sunshine. Pitched van as far back as possible but, even so car would not go in front of caravan without being in the middle of the road, so had to park behind line of tow-hitch and blocking front box on awning side. This also meant we could not actually pitch the awning to try it as no room to peg it down and still be able to park car on pitch. (Van is 7.45m long). As we were only on site for 4 days decided not to worry about it, but others should be aware of this. I think it was pitch 41. Everyone on site very friendly, and for a change the grass was not cut once whilst we were there. It has been a standing joke with our group that a lot of wardens cannot wait to jump on the lawn mowers three times a week. It was totally the opposite here the grass really could have done with a trim, not that this site has much grass to worry about. There is a gate at the rear of the site that goes straight on to the harbour walk and turn left 50m from the Cottage Pub, (Life's so hard), or turn right for a pleasant walk along the harbour, past SS Great Britain, M-Shed, restaurant quarter and into the heart of the city. Facilities were clean as expected, however on a real negative note, my wife said the ladies toilets, just did not flush properly even trying two or three times. I never used the gents so no idea how they were. Apparently Ladies were entering, coming straight out of one cubicle, and into the next as they were not flushed properly, before flushing and taking a chance, only to have to wait for cistern to refill again and try and flush again. Each lady thinking the previous not bothering to flush until they found themselves in a similar situation a few minutes later. This was in all cubicles. On one visit my wife said the toilets had only just been opened up after cleaning and there were seemingly un-flushed toilets at that point, not good. I mentioned this to the warden and couldn't really work out if they new about it, were fed up with being told, or more likely I guess assumed people just were not flushing.
