Clarify distance statistic

I booked a campsite based on the distance given to a venue I was attending an event at, where a site came at the top of the list being only 3.1 miles away. I've since looked on google maps and it's apparently 9 miles away, so I think pitchup must be calculating the distance based on a straight line rather the actual distance by car / on foot. This statistic was misleading and didn't clarify on the site, as a result I had to cancel and lost some of my deposit.

    when i was looking for campsites in barry island it came up that weston super mare and minehead were only 14.8 miles away. i know the somerset area and it takes a good 2 hours from minehead which is not 15 miles. It may be 14.8 miles away across the water, but not by road. As a result people who do not know the areas would be mislead and may book thinking its only a 20 minute drive when actually it is about 2 hours.
