First of all I need to say We love this site, BUT it has some problems for Disabled caravaners.
This first problem is, when you get to the caravan park or your coming back to the caravan park, the fob switch is on the left of your car and not the right. This means, if your on your own you have to get out of the car, run round and swipe the fob, then get back ready to drive off before the barrier bar comes back down. If your not fat at walking your screwed. If your in a wheelchair then forget it. Ive come back one time only to have to phone my wife and get her to help with the fob.
The second problem is the use of the “Reserved for Disabled Caravan” sign. When pitch up on a pitch that had the sign up thinking great, a pitch reserved by the toilet block for a disabled caravanned only to find out (after we had pitch up and set the awning up) that it was reserved for an able bodied couple . The warden came over and asked us to take down the awning and move even though I was in a wheelchair as the pitch was booked for someone without a disability. Just before we took the awning down to move, he came back and said it was ok for us to stay on the pitch.
The idea of booking a pitch and having it reserved is a great idea but the site should use one sign for disabled reservations and another simply stating RESERVED.
Please dont get me wrong these are small problems because over all the site is amazing. Great for disabled people (apart from the problems mentioned). Toilets are immaculate and toasty warm. Dog walking is fantastic. Local pub is perfect for a family & dog meal out. Very friendly and serve lovely food( especially the Mix Grill). Nice and close to Bury, even if you have to drive over the worst road in England to get in and out of the site.
We have been her about 10 times now and will be going at least 8 time this year so that should tell you something.
