Not the best - could do with some improvement

We have just returned from a 6 night break over Easter. We arrived on the Wed prior to Good Friday and I am so pleased we did as it filled up quickly from Thursday. We got a lovely large hard-standing pitch, all the hard-standing pitches seemed great. They were just opening the grass pitches the following day after the grass was cut. There are 2 shower/toilet blocks on the site, one located within the hard-standings and one in the grassed area. I have quite a few things to say about these: 1. The are tired and in need of upgrading, even the new block could do with some tender loving! 2. Once the site had filled up, they became very dirty very quickly. I hate having to clean facilities before I use them. I know the wardens didn't dirty them but surely they should keep an eye on the cleanliness throughout the day. 3. Toilet paper ran out regularly, very annoying if you have already been!!!! 4. They kept being put out of order (toilets and showers, even the washing up room flooded!) This just goes to prove they are in need of updating. 5. The cleaning times are ridiculous. The closed the hard-standing block from 1000 - 1100 hours, surely this is the busiest time for them to be used (not a problem for me personally as I am an early riser). The other block closed from 11 - 12 I think. On the last couple of days of our stay, only one ladies block was open, then they closed it for cleaning 1030 - 1200. Again this is quite early as people do like a lie in but the other thing is once people have packed up to leave (by 1200), the last thing they do is go to the loo before they hit the road on their long journey. Not at this site they don't, they can't!! The site itself is quiet what let it down was the noise from the neighbouring caravan/holiday park, it was so loud throughout the day and into the early hours, I felt sorry for those with pitches along the neighbouring fence. As the below review has mentioned there are badgers on the site. As much as I love animals and like to see them they can be a problem. I was awoken at 0100 in the morning by my dog going mad barking and growling (sorry neighbours). I got up to see if we had an intruder and found out we did, a badger in the awning. It had got through a little gap, luckily without causing damage. It had managed to knock over the dry dog food and open the container. There it was brazen as hell munching away, it came back again at 0600 in the morning. I quickly built a badger barricade that day and it never came back. Other down side is the lack of dog walk. The lane outside is find during the day but dangerous at night as it is unlit. It is only a 10 minute walk to the beach though. You have to plan your times to catch the water as it is dangerous to walk down to it when it is low tide. We won't be back, but only because we've been and done it! I'm not a big fan of the area either.
