Booked 4 nights on this site with our 3 dogs as site said it was dog friendly. On arrival was greeted by Sheila, very lovely lady. Site rules do state dogs on leads, but while we were setting up, our dogs were loose beside the van. A couple opposite had a dog which was loose as well, as did a couple beside them, so didn't think it would be a problem. Mick came over and told us to put them on leads in quite an abrupt manner. Never said anything to couples opposite. Day 3 of our stay we were the only people at the end of site as couples opposite were out or had left. My partner threw a ball for one of our dogs as no-one was about and Mick appeared and abruptly again to put the dogs on leads. It was 30 degrees outside, our pitch was in the full sun and he wanted us to tie the dogs up when no-one was about for them to disturb anyway. Seems he has one rule for one and one rule for others. I understand sites have rules and we have been to many sites with our dogs but to be barked at by this man only to see other campers with their dogs not on leads I think is out of order. Unfortunately, we left 24 hours earlier then planned. If this guy had actually came and had a chat, our opinion may have been different.

Thank you for your feedback. As you mentioned, the rules do state "no dogs off leads" while on campsite. I normally give people time to set up before imposing the rules but in your case, I approached you to introduce myself, only to find dogs barking at me and made me feel uneasy. So yes, I did ask for the dogs to be put on leads. I also mentioned that I already had a word with the others. I had a complaint from another camper, who said one of your dogs had been let off and had crossed the field to the other dog, even though I had asked for the dogs to be on leads. The day in question, I was walking past and saw a dog shoot pass across the field. Not only was I about, but there was also another couple sitting out side their tent. It only needs the dog to keep running on to them and I knew they did not like dogs. This is why the rules are in place for everyone. It would take 2 mins to walk off site to play with your dog off lead. I'm sorry if you think I was abrupt, but I had to tell you twice to put your dog on a lead when it is mentioned in the paperwork given to guests, as well as on signage on site. To respect others, I feel was not asking too much. With regards to the weather, I can not do much about that.

Excellent site
