NOTE: Fully serviced pitches
Lovely site in a great location with good facilities and great staff, let down by the sub-standard fully serviced pitches.
If you don’t want fully serviced pitches it’s a fabulous site.
We booked a fully serviced pitch expecting what we have received at multiple other sites, lesson learnt - don’t assume fully serviced pitches are all to the same standard.
On siting our caravan between the two posts, as directed, it became glaringly obvious our regularly used long length water hose was not going to reach the tap - this was a first.
There were two taps together sited close to the next pitch, the caravan on the next pitch was attached to one leaving the other for us - no way could our hose reach that far, not even going under the caravan!
The only electric connections available were directly behind the caravan on the next pitch.
Bizarrely the waste water drain was directly behind the pitch.
We surmised the set up was a poor attempt to make two pitches into fully serviced pitches.
The only way we could set up was to turn the caravan 180 degrees (thank goodness for the motor mover) so it was facing front in on the pitch, not ideal but the only way our water hose (used on all other sites) was going to get connected.
Thankfully the site staff were happy for us to be facing the wrong way.
We like to use the shower in the caravan, having a water hook-up us ideal for this purpose.
As the pitch was next to a service point we opened the door onto it, albeit behind a small hedge, instead of away from it. We were thankful there wasn’t too much noise from bottles, cans, rubbish etc getting put into bins. On the plus side we met a lot of people as it was very well used.
Lovely site but if you’re booking a fully serviced pitch ask questions and when you get to the pitch take a long look for your water and electric connections before you site your van, it may save you time.
Would we go back? Maybe, but we’d definitely ask questions about the available pitches first and consider using two connecting water barrels instead of paying for fully serviced.
