Can I ask where you heard that?hi Allyson,
we are off to Burnham on sea at Easter, i have heard a rumour that the pitches there are having a face lift and new showers, when you come home would you please let me know what has happened there , thanks
I never saw an errata on the web when I booked, do you know when it's due to start/ finish?
I will ring tomorrow to make sure we are away from any noise and not affected.
Yes of course I will.
just hope they havent gone back on their word, as some of those pitches were like swimming pools at times when it rainedWe were told last year that there was going to be new pitches by the warden and when we booked in feb, hubby asked again about the pitches and was told they would be ready for the start of season, hope you have a good holiday.
Hi Judy
We had a good weekend and the weather was on our side, pitches on the touring field had not been changed, except for one pitch which was behind the toliet block, this has now gone and made way for a new road into the touring field.
Showcase room was very nice. They have moved the bar, children's shop and the toilets. The children's shop is over were the gents toilets were, and the bar is up on a balconoy on your right-hand side as you walk through the door. The toilets are also up there now for both men and women. They have replaced all the tables with round tables and put in new chairs.
The bar down stairs is closed, not sure if they are going to reopen it. Carpark very dusty and large building containers still on site.
Outside pool area also dusty, where they had extended the showbar for the bar area. They have put up two large canopies outside over the pool doors on to the terrace and put out new table and chairs. They have also put about 5 sofas and about 6 chairs inside where you can view the indoor pool.
Outside they have put up a new large tennis Court.
When it is all complete it will be very nice, I still think they should have let people now that there is only one bar and there is still work going on at the site, before people book.
Hope you have a good time, how long are you going for?

Hi Allyson, we got back from marton mere yesterday weather was great so we stayed an extra night. We use the site quite a lot during the season and it keeps getting better. They have just spent another 2 million pound this year, they are just adding the finishing touches to new reception etc but should be finished by the time you get there lol !
Hi Lee
Glad you had a nice time.
The showcase bar in Burnham-on-Sea is very similar to the one at Marton Mare. I was very surprised that after doing so much work they are allowing people to smoke in the bar, I would have opened the bar has non smoking, due to it coming into force in May/June (April in Wales)
I have not booked anything for this year to Blackpool, we did not go last year either. I will have to check out the web.
We paid for the Sunday night, so we could keep pitch on, but left around 5ish to get home and settled down for work and school yesterday. Extra night was very cheap that is why we did it.

hi Allyson
thanks for getting back to me, so they havent done much to the site as they said ?
Just hope the toilets are cleaner and not so smelly now in the bar area.
we thought the work would have been finished by now, just hope they dont wake me up too early in the mornings.
Glad to hear you had good weather, hope to have the same at Easter, we are there for 7 days.
once again thank you

Hi Judy
Actually Judy the toilets up stairs in the bar where not to bad at the end of the evening, but that reminds me that I need to complain about of the state of the toilets downstars in the amusement arcade.
My daughter told me they were bad in the night, I had to use them during on Sunday afternoon and they were in a state.
