      Hello Vince, We do hope you stayed tuned in after hearing the price 🙂 . For us, this is one of the nicest sites we have ever stayed on and by no means the most expensive. The leisure complex was first class and the spacious and scenic touring park puts others to shame. We had the most enjoyable walks through National Trust land, visited ruins, a heritage centre and a little seaside town. We enjoyed dining in our caravan each evening with a lovely view and a sunset. All this and we didn’t spend a single penny all week. We had a marvellous time and made lots of memories too. Good value we think 👍. Kind regards, Rob & Gail 😀

Off to investigate Troutbeck Head on Tuesday only an hours skip over the A66 for us so nice and handy, oil skins at the ready it is October after all. Regards to you both Chris & Mrs D.

Don’t think we’ve had many weeks without any rain at all this year. We recall a very wet weekend at Poolsbrook on our very first outing with the caravan. Our one and only ever standard pitch too ! We’ve also stayed at Troutbeck Head pre UA-cam days. Remember the A66 being a pea souper. Hope you have a great time 👍. We’re heading for south Lincolnshire next. All the best, Rob & Gail 😀
