We brought our tourer for a week stay over Easter break. We found the facilities clean and well maintained but the service was not great. I witnessed bar staff chastising children for not saying please and thank you, which ordinarily wouldn't be an issue for me but there was definitely a feeling of bullying towards younger guests with the interactions i witnessed. Children also don't have free access to the arcade facilities. There are signs everywhere stating that children must be accompanied by a person over 16. They aren't even allowed to place soft drink or food orders at the restaurant bar even though there is no table service. I enjoy caravan sites because I feel more relaxed giving my child independence to enjoy the facilities without their every move being scrutinised. My biggest gripe is the swimming pool. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult in the pool, you must be physically in the pool. I've been to many sites and this is unusual, especially during school break. I asked if I could accompany my 13 year old as a spectator and was simply told no, I need to be in the water. The site is close driving distance to dunbar and a big supermarket. Overall I don't believe this is as child friendly as it claims to be or should be. I would not return with my child.
