This is the review of a club site :- "This is our second visit will return"

I just wonder what use a review of this type is worth!! Surely the idea of a review is to give other members some insight into what a site is like.

    Lol - I agree

    Ease of access, likely good positioned sunny level pitch numbers, transport links, potential site 'gotchas', foodie info, tranquil or steer on children activities are all basic pointers to mention as a starter.......

    The trouble is that we all like different things , so I go to each site and decide for myself , for example we love Black Knowl ,but there are lots of negative reviews about it .....

    I have noticed many reviews with a “We shall return” title in the latest activity list but only read reports when searching for locations. Such information does, at least, tell you that they liked a location although it would be good to know the reason.
    For me, I’m more interested in the neighbouring attractions than site facilities as I’m totally self-contained. We all have different interests and requirements, so even a detailed report may not tell me what I’d like to know. I feel that we should be encouraging
    members to write reviews, of whatever length and standard. Anything is better than nothing at all and the poor ones can only get bet better.

    I like to describe the site and the area but try to keepit short as long ones will probably not be read. The one quoted is too short for me but it makes it clear they like it and is therefore helpful. If you do not like it then you certainly need to say
    why.

    We have just come back from Incleboro Fields , Norfolk. What a delightful site. If you are a golfer then this will be right up your street because the site wraps around a golf course. There are plenty of dog walking areas as well. We will definitely be returning.
