Good for families

Disappointing visit this year!

We embarked on our yearly visit to Ferry Meadows which is a family meeting point. We have been coming here for a good number of years now. It is a 4hr drive from our base but it has always been worth it. So far our holidays have been fantastic. Facilities brill, staff brill and location excellent. However, this year has left us all with a bitter taste. The site has always been great for families and dogs for which we have 4. Yes 4 as I can already hear some members gasping. This year we brought our youngest dog 6 month old pup. She is obviously still in training and I'm proud to say the other 3 have turned out ok. Like humans they are not perfect. One afternoon we left 2 of our dogs in the van. We popped out for some food and left them 4 hrs. We don't leave them any longer. Upon our return which was before 9pm we were met with the 2 (new) wardens who pleasantly said ( I quote) "have you had a nice evening?" We thought that's nice so we politely said "yes tgank you" the male warden then said in a patronising voice "well you've spoilt it for everyone else your dog is howling" . We were very apologetic and I made my way to the van whilst he continued to have a go at my partner. Firstly we apologised for our dog howling which I know wasn't for 4 hrs as I asked another friendly member. Secondly this was not late at night. And thirdly there is no reason to be spoken to in this manner. I've held my breath until now. I wish the person who complained could have approached us before running to the warden. I did not realise I had to tip for around.the site. I did not complain a few niggts previous about the noise level coming from the rally field after 11pm nor did I complain about the same warden who the next day had the cheek to ask me and my family to move whilst he cut the grass around our van. I could argue this spoilt our peace! And he covered the bottom of pur awnibg with the cuttings. The other staff were fantastic. It was my holiday to and if people want total silence they need a different site. Good job they moved off before the family opposite arrived with 3 kids and 2 dogs eh?
