Good for families

Good site spoilt by chaotic arrival system

When we visited this site it was very full as peak season and did feel a bit crowded with some pitches seeming to be tucked in behind others. Very different site layout as is on site of old gardens and so it is different to many purpose built sites with secluded small pitch areas and many dead ends. The site is clean and well maintained, good system in place for limiting numbers in toilet/shower blocks which were thoroughly cleaned once a day. Staff were helpful. Great walk down to Catsfield along the 1066 walk with the White Hart pub nice and handy in the village and would recommend the Squirrel Inn also nearby for great food. Poor rating for quiet site as we had to take a pitch by the children's play area (not by choice) and lots of kids zooming by on bikes and shouting loudly when playing. I'm not complaining about this as it was school holidays, it just meant our experience was we didn't have peace and quiet! This would have been an excellent rating save for the chaotic arrival system where you are given a map with what the staff believe to be free pitches and then you drive around getting stressed trying to find the actual free ones because people who have arrive don't bother to go back and tell reception and they don't check either. Basically it's the last thing you want to do after the journey there and gives a poor first impression especially as due to the site layout there are lots of dead ends and a wrong decision results in a test of your caravan reversing skills with plenty of onlookers. We watched many a new arrival suffer this same fate during our stay, with other people we spoke to during our stay also commenting about this without being prompted. This really needs sorting, why not allocate pitches during busy times like other sites or allocate staff to whizz round on bikes to check every now and then? It's not a big site! Has put us off returning again and would only consider during off peak times. Also on the Covid side of things surprised to see no hand sanitiser at water fill up/waste disposal points and none in children's play areas although most parents we saw seem to let their children roam freely so no parental supervision anyway to make them do it!!!
