Not sure why there are such rave reviews

What made the weekend, the weather, it is like it was ordered, wall to wall sunshine from arriving to departing. Easy access to site from a64, just count your roundabouts. On arrival at the site to be greeted by friendly staff and were advised of which pitches we could use, we had booked a non-awning pitch, I dare say there weren’t any awning pitches available when we booked, as I wouldn’t have booked non-awning when the awning is the same price. I asked if we could put a windbreak up and were advised abruptly that we must remove it when not in use, yet everyone else had them up and left them up throughout their stay. What amazes is me is that this site has been highly refurbished, and as I understand it vans need to be level, so why on earth are pitched not laid close to level, as there was a good degree slope where we were, soon fixed with ramps, but still not level on top ramps. If you want to rely on public transport, which we did, it was 25 minute walk to the bus that ran every half hour, or 15 minutes to the bus that ran 5 times a day, but not on a bank holiday! The toilet facilities looked new, but why don’t people treat them like their home, and if they do a no. 2 make sure that they clean up after themselves, they were a disgrace on many occasions, toilet roll paper and inner cardboards all over the place. There was a general lack of hand soap by the basins throughout the break, the only place I found hand soap was where toilets waste was emptied, and there no tap. The site had a lot of unruly children on, and whilst I appreciate it is school holidays, I am on holiday too and do not appreciate children playing hide and seek around any van other than their own. There were trailing lead, bbqs, seating, etc, outside all vans and who would have been at fault if they had fallen or hurt themselves. The warden I initially though was not interested, but reading through some other reviews, he had had enough of them too. Please keep your children under control and in your sight rather than mine. There is a small sign round the toilet area saying no bikes around that area, maybe a picture of a bike with a cross through would have been more appropriate as when I was nearly knocked over I pointed to the sign and asked what it said and darnnright rude just continued riding bike in that area, couldn’t care less. All in all an enjoyable break, but certainly won’t be visiting on bank / school holidays.
