Lovely site spoiled by noisy children at all hours
This was a lovely site and like so many others have said, the facilities are great and the wardens are really helpful and friendly.
We were there for a week between 2nd and 9th August and it was really busy throughout that period with families; not surprising really given the proximity to the country park and the superb beach.
What spoiled it for us though was the fact that there were children racing around the site on bikes, giving no heed to speed limits nor the one way system. On more than one occasion I saw that only the fast reactions of one of two children avoided nasty head on collisions and my own 8 year old son ended up being forced off the road as older kids were blocking the entire width of the roadway.
On top of that, the kids seemed not to have received (or were ignoring) guidance from their parents about acceptable noise levels in the late evening. On most nights there was still running around and screaming by large groups of children up to and sometimes beyond 10pm. Our kids felt very agrieved when we were telling them to stop making noise within our van, as they recognised that their noise was nowhere near as bad as those kids outside, many of whom were much younger than them. I don't want to be a spoilsport, but it was my holiday too and by the late evening I want some peace and quiet.
That all said, I would happily give this site another go at some time in the future as our two children really enjoyed it and, with more than a mere hint of irony, they liked the fact that there were so many children on the site. That is only natural as the site we are on this week has, shall we say, a substantially higher average age group.
