Not as Good as Expected
Having read the positive reviews of this site we decided to stay here for a couple of days on our way back to the channel ports. I am so glad I did not book for longer. I booked direct with the site and asked for a serviced pitch. Apparantely to get a serviced pitch you have to go on a premium pitch with a shed which contains deck chairs, a table and chairs, a parasol and BBQ. We were led to our pitch by a lady on foot who took us down a very narrow track to a pitch opposite the Motor Home service point and a toilet block. The pitch was badly chewed up by the previous users as there were ruts everywhere and the grass was very long. Not what I would expect for a premium pitch at over 50 euro a night. It was impossible to pitch a caravan on this pitch without the use of motor movers which we had but the muddy surface meant the tyres would not grip so pitching was difficult. Pitching was not helped by the 3 bushes that had been planted in front of the pitch which only left a narrow access either side of the bushes. Exiting the pitch at the end of our stay was just as difficult as our 8ft wide caravan was touching vegetation on both sides of the road. The nearest toilet block was old but clean enough, there are better ones on other parts of the site. The restaurant and Cafe were good so we enjoyed our meal in the restairant and our trips to the Cafe for drinks. Having walked around the site, it was clear that we had one of the worst pitches and we would have done better to select a standard pitch rather then the so called premium pitchs. It may be that if you book via the Club you will get one of the better pitches but it was a last minute decision to stay here so booking direct was the only option. We have stayed at several better and cheaper sites in Normandy so will not be returning here.
