We visited in early August after a couple of weeks on CLs in Scotland. This was the third or fourth time we have visited the site, though not for a couple of years. The area is beautiful and offers great walking and cycling. We visited the pub opposite but I wouldn't say the welcome was warm. On arrival, the site was spotlessly clean and stayed that way for our stay. Bins were never full, water facilities never dirty, this despite the site being full. I was disappointed not to get a hardstanding after a few days of heavy rain, but the grass was a good size and seemed well drained. However, the long and narrow design of the site means it all looks a little cluttered. A minor irritation to me is the multitude of signs everywhere on the site, far too many in my opinion. A peaceful stay it was not. Our pitch was very near to the entrance, so we had a constant stream of arrivals and departures parked outside. The road can be busy at times, the pub also has a couple of industrial units attached to it, so you also have the "Beep Beep" of forklifts operating in the day. However the biggest nuisance was the other people on the site, constantly walking up and down to fill water, empty water, empty rubbish etc. I know this has to be done, but seems like some people have to do it 3 or 4 times per day, are they that bored that this is all they can think of doing? Also, the current fashion seems to be for enormous caravans being towed by enormous 4x4s to accommodate two middle aged people, these cars also seem to be constantly in and out of the site. Others have mentioned poor TV reception, this doesn't worry me but the lack of phone and mobile data was a minor annoyance. I understand this is not the fault of the site. However, the Caravan Club wifi came up offering broadband at 8p per day yet the site literature mentioned. £3.50 per day. It was impossible to connect to in any case, so I guess I shall never know. My stay here left me with the conclusion that I prefer the small and basic sites of CLs. This is no reflection on the people who work there as they do a good job.
