We have visited this site a number of times, but not for the last couple of years, and will not do so again until things are changed. We were a large family party camping in the first field. The toilet/washing facilities have been moved an area next to the childrens slide. We went camping in August, so obviously it had been raining in previous weeks, but for the last week it had been fine, however the site was still a little damp, but this wasn't a problem. However the toilet facilities, especially the ladies, was. The floor appears to slope down from the showers and into toilets. The drainage for the showers appears to be extremely poor as when somebody had a shower, I saw waves of water sloshing down the slight slope, which meant that the water had no where else to run except into the toilets. This meant that when you went to the toilet you had to remember to roll your trouser legs up, as your feet were sitting in about 3 inches of water. The toilets in the ladies ran out of toilet roll by Sunday morning, but they had been refilled at about 9. Apparently the mens toilets weren't as bad, but their showers were the opposite way round from the ladies, so the water drained into the showers, not the toilets.
With regards to washing up facilities, there were 2 sinks with plenty of hot water. However because there were only 2 sinks this meant that there was a wait and a queue for over an hour to use them at peak times.
The village itself is lovely and prior to changing the toilet block it was a lovely site.
The staff were friendly and pleasant, but when one of our party expressed disappointment at the situation they told us that they are only the wardens and the owner does nothing when they tell him about the problems.
