Morning Peeps, Just a quick update - I received this morning a letter from the Regional Officer for Houghton Mill. Apparently she is in receipt of a copy of my email (I take this to be the review I posted). I understand she has forwarded a copy to the Regional Manager asking him to...

I have a Coachman VIP and a 6ft 6" son. I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt the difference is more than an inch!!

Pigeons?? Pray tell Wendy.... Personally I don't have experience re pigeons on site, but my guess is that if they emptied their bowels over my van and awning consistently, or swooped down at me every time I stepped out I might be somewhat miffed and thus mention it in a review? Timbo.

I've just checked again and it has definitely been removed... When the warden was so rude towards me I mentioned to her that I would be writing to Head Office about this. She demanded to know my pitch number and then told me she would be writing herself!!! Perhaps she got in first... No I...

Thought I'd bring this thread up to speed for anyone thinking of going to Houghton Mill. We have used this site a few times over the years and concurred with all the above comments. However, this site appears to have really gone down the pan. The Ayotollah has gone but it would be a blessing...

Plotter, I'd be interested to know whether you put a Review on the CC website about your disappointment? I recently put a review about Houghton Mill, an extremely disappointing site, and it was removed! Only the supportive reviews were accessible.

I thought I'd share... I recently posted a Review via the Caravan Club website about problems we incurred at Houghton Mill, stating fact and not putting anything untoward. Blow me down its been removed!!!! Only the "wonderful" reviews are left. It doesn't seem we can rely on the Reviews on...

So, if I never put a awning up as we don't have one, does that mean a pup tent can go next to my caravan because it is my pitch so to speak?

The lady warden told us 3metres. I can't argue as I don't know the rules thats why I'm asking.

We are at Houghton Mill contemplating the virtues of bothering to join the Caravan Club for a further year. We definitely won't ever come back here and feel the Club Sites in general are becoming more expensive but more relaxed and sloppily run. For the first time ever on a Club Site the...

I am presently pitched on a Caravan Club site and paid for our van pitch for four nights. In addition, our daughter and her friend wanted to come in her pup tent so I booked them into a tent pitch at £22.00 a night (no EHU), so as you can imagine it turned out to be a costly doo. Well, as we...

There was certainly no mention whatsoever that the CL pitches were actually on a rally field and only separated by three cones. When I went to pay I asked the lady about the rally and she told me she holds rallies there a couple of times a month. There was certainly no apology or anything. I...

As well as having a naff weekend on the CL that turned out to be on a rally field.........talk about adding insult to injury. Driving along a country lane not much wider than the outfit and a car appeared from nowhere, side on. It was in the proceeds of backing off the drive of a large house...

Today is quite literally the first sunny caravanning day we have had this year and I'm sorry to say we are praying for rain. I just cannot believe our luck. We booked on to a five van CL and arrived to find we are sharing the field with a rally. We've had Fagash Lil since 7ish this morning...

Hello Bernard, If you search "dogs breakfast" on this forum for a post made in July 2008 you will see we had a very similar situation occur withour brand new coachman. I really can't remember now whether it was the dealers or Coachman who stumped up to make good the damage - I know it was...
