Slow Village Séveilles

This site now uses dynamic pricing so you might pay more than you bargained for. An example of this we were charged €160 for one particular night in August. We successfully argued this was vastly more than the advertised price and secured a refund. We were unsuccessful in securing a refund on other dates we believe were overcharged.

We used this site when it was family run, it had a bar/restuarant , huge spacious peaceful grounds and a very good pool area. This site is now owned by a company marketing itself as an outdoor hotel. The site has changed beyond belief, they have installed many lodges making the site feel very cramped, the bar/restuarant has now gone to be replaced by a shoddy takeaway by the lake serving pizza and bottled beer. The pools which were designed to cater for the previous number of customers is now so crowded as to make it a no go area. Two parasols for the whole area, and the small number of sunbeds always loaded with towels with no one using them. We stayed on one of the cozy pitches which are very large and fully serviced. However the fridge had a broken bottle holder which was reported but never resolved. The showers closest to us were at the pool complex , the water was invariably cold, we reported this on numerous occasions to no avail. It seemed any problem we encountered was either dismissed or ignored. It seemed the priority was for the lodges and the camping emplacements were just an annoyance. The grounds which used to look immaculate had the look of a building site, I think the priority was to get the site open so as to recoup some of the money they had invested. In over 25 years of problem free camping in France this site (company) has left a very bad taste…
