Powered concrete slab caravan site (large)
Liked: The two ladies and dogs in reception. The look and cleanliness of the site. Jetta beautiful. The nearby walk.
Disliked: The heavy constant downpours ( site not responsible for) The road noise from the road behind my pitch was constantly interrupting my rest throughout the night so between that and the weather we left early. Tv signal very poor could do with a booster.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Chriss (especially the comments about Jetta as she is my dog, so that's made me smile this morning!) I am however disappointed that you would neither recommend us to friends or visit again... I do think it is unfair to list heavy downpours as a dislike, although we do appreciate the added note that we are not responsible for that! We are as disgruntled as our guests are with the poor weather we are experiencing of late! The road noise is another aspect that is completely out of our control, during quieter times of the season, we try to relocate people to alternative pitches if the noise is a problem but when we are at full capacity this is not always possible. Apologies for the lack of TV signal you encountered, this seems to be hit and miss at the moment as we have Seasonal guests who are on site full time and don't experience any problems, we will take a look at this. Kind Regards, Team PYB
