We visit this site annually and usually give it 5 stars but on this occasion we felt standards had fallen. We arrived on Thursday and for the first time ever we felt the welcome was far below standard. It could have been a recorded message from a robot on the other side of the desk, it would have had more personality. If you meet this lady warden don't dare ask a question! You won't get a helpful answer and you soon realise you shouldn't ask again! As we were setting up we tethered the dog at the back of the pitch and Mr Jobsworth the warden knocked on the van door asking us to move it as the tether was allowing him to 'stray' onto the next (vacant) pitch. The site was muddy! It was a wet weekend to be fair, but the warden seemed to be clearing leaves as a priority rather than draining off standing water. A few shovels of gravel or similar added to the path from the middle of site to the back along the wall side would have improved things so much. Everyone commented on getting wet feet!!!. If you go on site in the darkness make sure you have a strong torch as the lighting is poor. Chatsworth is a lovely site and deserves better. As we left on the Sunday morning at 9:30 we had difficulty with vehicles at the sports club (entrance to site). They were parked all over the kerbs and filled the passing place near the entrance causing us to pass very carefully with only a few inches to spare. This needs to be sorted.
