Have just spent a few days at Hurn Lane with friends. Whilst the site is spotless and well maintained and the ladies who dealt with our booking tried their best to be helpful the petty and over rigid rules of the site spoilt the experience. We are 2 mature couples who are in no way rowdy but do like to sit together and have a drink and chat, outside when weather permits. On arrival we asked about pitching our awnings facing each other and after explaining that we only had camper vans with fairly small awnings the ladies on reception explained that normally the awning should go to the right of the camper or caravan but they didn't see this as a problem given that we would be using much less space than say a large motorhome and awning or car and caravan with awning. However, when the site supervisor was on duty next day he sent the two ladies to instruct us to swap an awning to the opposite side (he didn't come to tell us himself to make his reasons clear although he seems to have sited privacy issue which cannot be the case as the only ones affected were us facing each other). Physically moving the awning was not a big issue but it meant that the rest of our stay was affected because we both have elderly dogs who we like to keep an eye in while they're in the awnings/campers and we can't do this if one of the awnings is facing away. The situation would be even more of an issue if we had come with children and grandchildren and been made to sit apart. I have recently joined the club and was expecting some over rigid rules but this lack of flexibility and common sense rather ruined our stay.
