It is with some dismay that I find myself writing a less than perfect review, it’s the first time I have done so.
The good points.
Clean site, excellent facilities but.
Now the rest.
We travelled 189 miles to get there and as most will know, the Yorkshire moors are not the easiest to negotiate, we had the audacity to actually arrive forty five minutes early. I was told that we couldn’t get in even though there were plenty of spaces and that I would have to wait, he even suggested that I turn my unit round and "go and have a cup of tea in morrisons" having visited Morrisons later, without my van in tow, I urge you not to take this advice, it’s hard enough getting a car in there let alone a towed caravan. He even to,
Ld me that the club had changed the arrival iMessage from 12 to onepm as it was twelve, when I booked it was twelve, I don’t have ESP and no one had told me of the change.
The man was clearly not happy but I stood my ground.
We got in and pitched up, the pitch was good and spacious and close to the facilities and the playground, although on the way to the pitch I was chased by a member of staff who claimed that I was speeding and I was putting the kiddies in the playground at risk, there were no kiddies, as a police advanced driver I put safety firmly top of my driving.
In the afternoon we were treated to the lawn mower,strimmer and motor mower, I know that it has to be done but around the same spot for two hours? This was to be an almost daily thing,the grass must grow really fast in Yorkshire. The toilets are closed from 10 in the morning until 12.30 every day so be prepared to cross your legs. Halfway through the week they were closed for five hours for a deep clean, you can use the ones on the top field but be prepared to drive they are miles away.
Because of the building work in the adjacent field the dog walk is closed, I’m not really sure why as the builders have put a safety fence up.
If you visit the shop push the door, the reason? It’s not exactly clear if it’s open or not because it’s usually dark inside, we saw a number of people arrive and leave empty handed.
This is obviously not the sites fault but beware, it’s open plan and surrounded by fields, this means that the lightest of winds comes through gale force, we and several others lost our awnings whilst out, so please be aware.
Sorry it’s long but I Hope informative, enjoy your stay and watch out for the mower.
