Pitch disappointment - to put it mildly

Great location, thought we had taken a wrong turn, as we drove down the High Street, but no, there was the little sign. Melrose is lovely, the Abby, places to eat and independent shops and a good sized Co-Op at the entrance. However, the facilities on site desperately need an update, especially the showers and the little stool in the shower needs to go. If you are unlucky, like we were, you will get a pitch around the back of Reception, they are tarmac, it looked and felt like we were pitched in a car park. Pitching between two wooden markers, meant we had nowhere to sit, I suspect these pitches are for Motorhomes (smaller models) and camper vans, who are staying for one night, we have a caravan and had booked for 4 nights. Be aware, these pitches are the same price as all the other lovely grass and hard standing pitches, I went to Reception and checked, we paid £32 per night. If we had not just had a five and a half hour journey, we would have left. You may ask why we choose the pitch, we didn’t, we were told that was our pitch. Would we go back? No, we would be worried we would end up on pitch 8 again.

Those pitches are non awning pitches so you must have booked a non awning pitch in the first place? Melrose is the only place I've visited that has these type of pitches just as you described, they are normally in high demand, as if the rest of the site. As you were given it it must have been the only non awning pitch left?
