Electric grass pitch
Liked: Short walk to river
Disliked: Poor maintenance of perimeter. Loop of rusty barbed wire hidden in grass/leaves on the site.
Badly cut my foot, spent the night in A&E. Made the incident known to person on site, twice, who was dismissive. After asking several times, as there were as lot of children playing close by, grudgingly they removed the barbed wire. No accident book, even when I explained my injuries meant I can’t work for 7 days. No one has contacted me since we left the site, despite being told the manager would “sort it’
We go to a lot of sites and never been treated in such a dismissive way.
Had the takeaway fish and chips in the pub on our first night, very expensive, overcooked and dripping in oil. Site expensive for the facilities provided.
Never said this about any other site but we will not be returning
