“I very regrettably bought a caravan here and barely...”

Written on: 10/07/2012 by Graham190

I very regrettably bought a caravan here and barely used it because i found the way the site is run to be appalling........staff promise to phone back but don't bother.........on a regular basis there was cars with loud exhausts flying about in the early hours.........some guy flying about on a quad bike with 2 kids hanging on to it.........rules are few and far between......some can have wooden decking/walkways down,others are told they can't..........no gazebos/rotating washing lines allowed..........again depends who you are.........the list of rules broke on the site is endless..........again depending on who you are.
The site itself is untidy and very poorly maintained.........i was there at easter this year and broke my foot walking along a broken concrete pathway.A few have loud music booming out till the early hours.The amenities are poor.......there's a pool outside so i'm sure you can imagine how often you'd wish to use that with uk weather........there's a shop...........far too small and understocked.

I can only say 2 good things about this site.....
1........It has a good club........the kids like the activities there and there is always nice food available.
2........and this is my favourite thing..........i recently managed to sell my caravan there.........amen to that.
As i had a caravan there myself i can easily see why there's so many bad reviews so if you're thinking of buying one there or renting one for your next holiday.......ask someone to slap you and bring you to your senses.
