Overpriced, Unkempt, Unfriendly, Expensive
We have just spent a week here with friends who use this site as it’s just round the corner from family. To say we are all disappointed is an understatement. The site continues (after many years) to overcharge for what is basically a no facilities unkempt car park. I’ve heard all the excuses as to why the ablution block isn’t open (we’ve been more than once) but have yet to hear why the pricing for this site doesn’t reflect the total lack of facilities, care and upkeep. In reality, the club should be charging no more than £6 per night for the site. You could even do away with full time wardens as they do very little for their wages. Bins were not emptied daily, loo drop and water areas were not cleaned daily and we didn’t see the warden on site for 5 out of the 6 days we were on site. The gates on the dog walk area are non-existent and the whole area is a complete mess. Just why are we being charged such extortionate prices for this site? Upon our arrival we were told off, yes told off, at our age, for being early to check in. Now when I say early I’m talking about 50 minutes early. The office was open but I was told by both male and female wardens that it should in fact be closed but they had been too busy chatting!! Now if the office had been closed upon our arrival we would of happily waited for it to open. The only reason we went into the office is because it was open with people inside!! We don’t appreciate being scolded like naughty children. We are all aware, timings can vary wildly in this country due to the state of our roads and the weight of traffic. The fact we arrived 50 minutes early was due entirely to luck, having had good roads on that day. So to say the start of our holiday was blemished by a bitter taste in the mouth is an understatement. Please rethink your training of your wardens to give people a smile and warm welcome, it makes all the difference. Please also don’t forget to explain to your membership why the charges for this site remain unacceptably high when the site is going to rack and ruin.
