Whilst it was nice having our own toilet, it was SO full of tiny spiders we barely used it! Don't mind having some on the wall but they were all hanging off the ceiling and was impossible not to end up with them all in my hair! Luckily the main toilet block was only a few mins walk, although that got closed because of a leak the 2nd night we were there, no ones fault, but a bit annoying.
The food van wasn't there all weekend as apparently they had broken down a few days before. Again, no ones fault, but I had specifically phoned to ask Friday afternoon if it would be there and was told it would be so we didn't make other plans for food that night, so that was frustrating.
We paid the extra £15 for linens which we got, the double bed was made up but the bunks weren't. Sounds petty, but was actually quite difficult to do as the mattresses were very heavy and the sheets not fitted, and just frustrating when you've paid £15 for a service.
Our bin was broken with no lid, not ideal for if any food is going in there, just asking for insects.
The site was generally really well kept and tidy but the porch could have really benefited from a quick sweep, quite dirty and lots of cobwebs. A few people had also decided to leave full dog poo bags by our toilet - lovely!
Shop was well stocked, but why are tampons kept behind the counter like some kind of elicit item?! Just makes it unnecessarily embarrassing having to ask them with a shop full of people and male attendant. Also not ideal that the main toilet block only has a bin I some (maybe only 1, I didn't check all!) cubicals.
The main annoyance however was definitely the heat! We arrived to find the electric heater in the pod was on. Baring in mind it was about 20 degrees outside anyway this was totally unnecessary and meant it was unbearably hot in the pod. We immediately turned it off but it just didn't cool down, and we couldn't leave the doors open long as would have been overrun by insects. Made for a very uncomfortable night's sleep.
All of these alone are really small issues, but together just felt quite frustrating, mainly because they would have all been really easy avoid.
