Overall, the entire site is a tired, deshevelled and neglected site.
The restaurant is a budget weatherspoons. The 'cottages' are a group of council houses sat opposite a whirring airconditioning unit from the restaurant.
The 'included' swimming requires booking 48 hours in advance, or else you wont get the opportunity to swim. The outdoor pool requires on the day booking, meaning a 7am battle with the online booking portal. Whoever designed that has never heard of a user experience map before. The changing rooms are akin to an empty room with benches; no lockers, no changing room showers, and a single toilet.
The minigolf is falling apart with turf all over the place.
The toilets are more akin to a movie set for a shower room stabbing. the lighting is abysmal, but still enough to see the mould, broken panels, dodgy locks and faulty showers. With just two toilets and two showers, we always opted to use off-set facilities when out and about.
The staff on site seem to lack any knowledge that you'd expect. When asked where we fill up with fresh water, they pointed us to a hosepipe used for cleaning toilet cassettes. When asked about the outdoor pool, they stated it was heated (it's not...). And when using the 'convenience store', they tried to charge an additional £5 for no reason and likely will catch less mentally astute individuals out.
At time of booking, we asked to be near our travelling companions to which they agreed. When our companions arrived, our pitch was a substantial walk away. The managed to get us moved closer, but still not on the same 'road'. Despite asking, we were told we couldn't be moved closer. The pitch next to them remained vacant for their entire stay and the remaining week of ours. In the meantime, we suffered from a neighbour who's dog was constantly off the lead, music past 10, rubbish strewn onto our pitch and cigarette smoke coming into our motorhome. No action was taken.
The pitches are incredibly cramped, with terrible 'roads' leading to each.
All of the above is within their gift.
Unfortunately, not within their gift is the weather. Be warned that the site suffers from substantial prevailing winds.
