Disappointing experience
Due to no expected traffic hold ups, we arrived outside the site at 12.50, we did not enter the site but drove up the road and found a parking space with no parking restrictions and did not cause any obstruction.
We entered the site at 13.01 to find that another caravan had arrived before us.
When we went to book in we were told in no uncertain terms, that the site had already received a phone call about us.
When I asked the lady site manager what the problem was, she told us that we should not park where we did and somebody had complained.
She then went on to say that as the council would not get involved in the parking dispute - then she had to police it.
When I asked her how she can police it when there are no parking restrictions in the road, she then accused me of arguing with her.
I explained that I was not arguing but merely asking a question.
She then accused me of inconsiderate parking.
She then became rather emotional and offered to cancel our booking and we could go, in a very abrupt way.
Later I found that there are instructions printed in the information room advising members that - if they happen to arrive early, not to enter the site but to park in a safe space nearby... which is what I did.
In 38 years with the club, I have never had a problem like this before and it really soured the whole holiday.
