New Website experience. Is it just me ?

For years I have been wanting C&MC to take deposits on bookings, to stop people just block booking sites whilst they look for somewhere better to stay. Yes that is great for those that are looking for a last minute cancellation at sites, but I like to book my main holidays in advance, especially as my wife was restricted to certain dates.

So the C&MC listened... eventually, and it seems easier to get a site now.so that's the praise where it is due.

Now, the bad bits. The new website seems obsessed with bookings, the app is the same, but that is okay on the app as you usually expect less more condensed information. So I tend to sit at the computer or laptop to search the country for our next caravan break. Unfortunately the website seems to have a "Bolted on front end" over the top of the original site, which as soon as you land on the home screen says "Where do you want to book?" Well I was hoping to browse and read reviews etc, not instantly book!

I put in Norfolk, and got a map with prices, no names, just prices, I clicked on one and it turned out to be, Thetford Forest, so I clicked on "More Details" and up comes the app view, with no way to get to the original site details in a readable fashion.

So, back to the home screen, (by clicking on the Caravan and motorhome club, logo) and ignored the page and put "Thetford Forest" into the search eyeglass, and clicked on the link, and low and behold, there is the original Club site entry designed for computers NOT apps! So much easier to read, so much more information, a choice bar for photos, rather than having to scroll to each one, No information about, nearby sites and a nicely paragraphed "Why stay here" rather than the condensed app version with a massive map open to the right!

I have messaged the C&MC direct but no response, I did message them a few years ago about deposits and no response, so perhaps they listen but don't bother replying, here's hoping?

Am I missing something? Is there a simpler way to get to the Desktop version rather than the convoluted way where the web designer obviously wants to do away eventually with the old site?
