Dissapointed and extremely upset.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Nothing
Disliked As our Van broke down terminally on way therefore we could not arrive, new engine is going to cost £2850.00 and your POLICY will not refund us even though it was beyond our control, and we lost our £240.00 payment which has tipped us over £3000.00 for 1 weeks mistake in booking you in the first place. Spoke to John Fowlers who's customer service is DIABOLICAL and point blank refused to refund me, and told me you wouldnt either, we even offered to take a different week once our van was fixed, again refused. So no not happy, didnt get to experience it, and we have learnrd our lesson and WILL NOT book again in the future. If I had a choice of zero stars I would tick it.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Pat , the touring attendant was great .
Disliked VERY hilly with very uneven pitches . The seasonal pitches were left scruffy and poorly maintained meaning the site looked neglected . The shop was based in what looked like an old toilet block . Site was too far away from everything including the bus stop 3/4 mile away accessible only by walking on a busy narrow road with no pavement up a steep hill .
