Little Orchard Caravan Park

Sorry to have to rate this site so low, but I feel it is necessary... We arrived at the gate at 12:38pm and attempted to make the call to the owner to advise we were there awaiting to be let in, We continued to attempt to contact the owner by phone until 135pm (owner on phone). We walked down lane to a sign saying enquiries at the barn but struggled finding it (not clearly marked if your not familiar with the place) to be greeted by the owner. We advised we have been trying to contact her to be let on site for 1hr , to which she replied "yes it's a phone I was on it we only have one!" We eventually go on the site, Set up a pitch only to find we couldn't boil the kettle if lights were on as electric tripped on the main connection box and the heater wouldn't work with lights on either as it overloaded the electrics. (I know some places have put limits on the usage but this was ridiculous) Shower block shut but one toilet with shower and basin open which looked like you would be dirtier if you used it than before and you had to pay 50p for the privilege! Hense we didn't bother! We did mention the lack of signage to the barn enquiries to the owner upon leaving but was greeted with it's clearly signed , (for a site that likes signs it's a bit odd that this wasn't that visible,we tried to explain about the difficulty in seeing its sign to which she replied "yes I know where I live and it's clearly signed!" To which owner got in car and drove off. It's a shame the site has resulted in being run like this as we have been there before several yrs ago and enjoyed it, but sadly shan't be returning again. One star given for location to Blackpool!
