Without motor mover beware!

Having visited this site more than 13 years decided to give it another go. Booked a service pitch, maybe that was the first mistake. These are in difficult to access cul de sacs for the majority. Once down them you cant turn around, so check before you commit to that part. Although, you are blocking the roadways whilst one of you runs down to see if there is a pitch if this is not immediately apparent!. Once down these roads there are pitches which are side on instead of reversing to the marker front to back, so depending on which side of the road you are on, it is virtually impossible to get on them without a mover (hence my title). We managed to get on a side facing pitch but had we had a full awning there is no way we could get our car on as well, luckily we only had a porch awning. But it was very tight. If we were to visit again we would go for a grass pitch if possible as these were larger on the whole, but that would mean dragging water bottles and waste masters about, and this site is very hilly. The facilities are the usual high standards of the CMC, although the ladies door on one block slams shut ever few seconds to such an force that it ripped the door jam of the frame, leaving exposed screws until it was fixed the next day, (an adjustment of the self closing mechanism should be an easy fix) but it was still slamming after this. Husband said the toilets didn't flush enough water down them in some cubicles (make of this what you like). Swimming pool was very nice and lifeguards present. Dog walk excellent with some lovely views. Shop seemed on the pricy side but only used it once. Club house does food as nowhere local within walking distance, limited menu but on the whole the quality was about average if a little on the pricy side. Dogs are allowed in the covered outdoor area the uncovered patio and on the tiled area inside the building. Entertainment was on most nights with a singer for about an hour, but after 9.30pm nothing if you want that sort of thing. Which leads me to the site prices, at a cost averaging £57 a night over 8 nights (although over the bank holiday) it wont be my first choice to visit again. There is better value on other sites with similar/better facilities but that's down to choice. Talking to another couple in the dog walk they had an incident with a dog on another pitch who was off the lead, whereby a Staffy attacked the owner after it went for his dog, it ripped his jumper, (yes he did report it, but don't know the outcome). I can confirm that this dog was the same one we had seen the previous day who seemed really nasty although it was tied up at the time.
