Wish we had read the reviews

For us, this site fell far short of its 5* rating. We had booked for 7 nights stay & were looking forward to all the facilities that the site advertised. However, we were met with disappointments from the start. On arrival we asked if we were near the facilities, but the receptionist advised us that the site was full & to change pitch would incur an additional fee. As this was an expensive site anyway, we accepted the pitch she gave us. Unfortunately, our pitch was in shade from overhead trees, the ground dusty, table & benches on our pitch covered in bird droppings, our shared serviced pitch was only just acceptable & behind us was the site’s ballpark. The ballpark was in use from morning until after midnight with balls pounding against metal frameworks & against the fence which divided us. Apart from the constant noise we had a football kicked over onto the car on 3 occasions & once when the car was in motion. There seemed to be no night-time security to enforce quiet from 11pm. so noise went unchallenged. The toilet & shower facilities were less than satisfactory with missing toilet seats, shortage of toilet paper, dirty walls & floors in showers, 1 mop between two shower blocks. These facilities were insufficient to meet the needs of the number of people on site. The restaurant, bar & take-away were expensive, with limited choices, so we did not use these. The pool & slides looked inviting but on closer inspection the pool needed cleaned above the water-line, also the foot bath leading to the pool was dirty and blocked. As the site opened to the public at weekends the area was crowded. We didn’t use this facility as a result. There was a wellness spa on- site but the prices were expensive, so we didn’t use these either. Rubbish & re-cycle area full & disgusting with piled rubbish, flies, wasps, broken glass etc. Some on-site roads narrow and busy with buggies, scooters/electric scooters, bikes, cars, motor homes & caravans. Pulling out from pitches onto these roads requires extreme caution. Our complaints to site staff were not addressed during our 7 day stay. This is not a site we would recommend. A nice municipal campsite is located nearby on the banks of the river Loire which we would use if we were to return to the area.
