This is a site you either love or hate BUT I'm not bothered about it
This is a Haven site
Read on
This site has a mix of Statics and tourers
Tourer pitches ALL hardstanding and at
least 50 super pitches.
Each block of Tourer pitches had its own toilet block, each with pot washing and chemical toilet empty point fresh water and waste water points. ALL pitches had 16amp electric hook ups
ON site there is a fairly decent shop open long hours.
Other facilities include.....A
take away, amusements, swimming pool, bike and pedalo hire, a family room, an adults
only sports' bar , restaurant area (licensed)
The pitches are getting old and are cracked and most are not level any more. Most
access roads have speed ramps that are too high for caravans, other 'roads' are ballast
filled tracks. the pitches are made to take a car and caravan. The awning goes on
the grass area which is usually at least 3" lower than the concrete.
Some pitches
are occupied by 'seasonal lets' so they have usually pitched so the awning is on
the concrete, making it necessary use the hardened pegs through the concrete to fix
their awning 'permanently'.
All in all, what could be a good site is spoiled by lack of maintenance for the sake of profit.
The Mere is a bird watching area and there is no fishing
All holidaymakers are given a 'security' pass. This is supposed to be asked for when entering the bar/amusement area and when ordering drinks.
I was not asked for my pass the whole time I was there, so what good is security ("security" staff were too busy chatting girls up )
