Camping pod
Liked: Nothing
Disliked: Booked this as I had work In the town and if it had been a positive experience would.of used for further work trips but the chap on the phone was very unhelpfully.
Issue was due to the storm that had rolled in the roads where a nightmare when I realised I was.not going to get there before 8pm I phoned up and asked and the chap on the phone basically said nope would.not leave the key for me, would not help bearing in mind my expected arrival time was 8.20 according to the sat nav. But still said NO and that basically I would have to find some where else if I got there after 8pm.
In the end I pulled in the area just after 8.10 and ended up tracking g down some where else for the night.
Very unhelpfully, very unseasonable considering the weather and the floods,
This was not a holiday booking, this was a work booking, and because of how unhelpfull your staff member was future bookings you would potentially would of received from us with the work we have in the area will use some where else!!!

Camping pod
Liked: Locatie dicht bij de zee
Comfort binnen in de Pod (in vergelijking met de eerdere Pod)
Disliked: WC & Douches, verouderd en onvoldoende voor een camping van die grootte.
Afwas faciliteit - 1 spoelbak voor de hele camping ???
Geen aanwezigheid van personeel, nog eigenaars, alles onpersoonlijk via codes, alleen een vriendelijke oude man die alles een beetje in de gaten houd.
Totaal geen camping gevoel.
