Sunday 3rd August – Thursday 7th August 2008
I don’t normally visit commercial sites for no particular reason except that it would take too long to visit them all. My main reason for touring the country is to explore what different areas have to offer and consequently only need to use basic C/L type sites that are a lot cheaper than big commercial ones, with the occasional Club Site thrown in to do my washing.
Anyway my daughter, son-in-law and grandson had joined me and it was thought they may enjoy a site that had a lot more to offer than my usual choice. They also have a baby that needs facilities and the Caravan Club sites were all booked up
Reception was faultless and we were quickly shown to our pitch which was enormous. Enough room for caravan, awning and two cars. The grass had suffered from previous guests but the site owners seem to accept this and I didn’t see any notices about lifting ground sheets. This is probably impossible on some tents that have built in ground sheets. If you are a windbreak salesman you’ll make a fortune on this site. Everyone seemed to erect windbreaks around the perimeter of their pitch as if they are their castle walls and beware anyone who enters. Everyone to their own, I noticed that some people would look anywhere rather than make eye contact.
The facilities were good with a heated pool [no lifeguard], a shop and a restaurant/takeaway, but there is no bar. The toilet blocks are adequate and cleaned daily, however it is prudent to use them before the kids manage to spread paper all over. The Eden Project is within walking distance and discounted tickets can be bought onsite.
