Camping les Grenettes

We booked a ‘lodge” at Camping Les Grenettes which was described as a luxury lodge. It was certainly far from being luxurious, basic and functional might be a better description. It was basic to the extent that a long wall cushion, part of the settee, was missing and though we asked for this to be rectified, it was not. This lodge/mobile home was not the most comfortable. On arrival we given a number of documents one of which was a form we were supposed to complete an inventory of equipment in the lodge. This was meant to be handed into reception by the next morning; the note attached to it stated that there would be no exceptions to this rule. Failure to complete said form could lead to forfeiture of the €350 deposit. We did not complete the inventory because all the documents were in French and I did not specifically translate and read every word! Perhaps I should have! But never would I have expected to have to complete my own inventory. I would have expected the company to do this and for it to be present in the lodge on arrival. Also there were instructions as to how the lodge was to be cleaned and left on departure, this included instruction as to how the pillows were to be positioned on the bed and cleaning the windows; to say these were patronising would be an understatement. Because we were in a luxury lodge cleaning was part of our package, so why we were given these instructions is unclear Do not use this site if you value privacy. Lodges are literally on top of one another. Our lodge had another less than five meters behind it which looked directly into ours. Also, if the people behind are sitting on their veranda they will see and hear the toilets and bathrooms in use. I also saw one lodge which was literally no more than a meter from the one in front of it. It seems clear that the site is being run on a shoestring as evidenced by the overall appearance of it and the state of the roads. Also the equipment in the lodge was something of a mish mash, especially the cutlery. In most cases residents on this site must unload their cars and remove them to a separate car park.
