    My truck is famous!, as you pulled into the car park you stopped and showed my plate, and walked past it later, it was also me that said hello as you left. Our second time there, lovely place and great staff.

    Very informative as always Bob & Jenny. Can't say I fancy the site really, all a bit of a faff with having to leave the car away from the unit (be it motorhome or caravan). Not a worry for me as we have children so it's well off the list!

    Hi Bob, Jenny and Poppy
    We were there 21st April this year, we stayed 3 nights and loved it.
    The pub food was very good, we were lucky that it was very sunny that day.
    We had no mobile signal, so to be honest it made us have a break from the internet for couple of days, not very good for people who rely on it to upload videos though.
    We found the site very neat and tidy, and the shower,toilet blocks we found very good.
    We hope you had a lovely stay, stay safe both and take care
    Happy Holidays 😎
    Lee & Lorrie

      You shouldn't meet anyone in a motorhome or with a caravan if you come in via the village, as it should be no right turn out of the campsite.

    I was going to book this place up for a quick one night stopover for next weekend as i’m fairly local.
    Quoted £55 which seems very steep. Also check in is 2pm which is too late in my opinion as it doesn’t give much time to do stuff in the afternoon.

    Site looks very nice but ..... if you tow a caravan and are disabled does your car still have to remain in the car park? Just a thought for those where walking is a problem.

    • @BobEarnshawMoHo

      I don't know, but they do let you bring the car to the caravan for loading and unloading.

    *Been there, this is where you unhitch your caravan and they tow it to the pitch an leave your car in car park.. - I forgot to turn off tracker and soon got a message alarm "Was this Authorised Movement" - proved Tracker worked great. Considered charges expensive and although facilities 100% bit over the top. You are allowed to take your car to pitch to unload any items however, as we store many items in rear of hatchback to reduce towing weight. Pitches on the small side and pack 'em in.

    • @BobEarnshawMoHo
      @BobEarnshawMoHo  3 роки тому

      No I don't see the need to spend £400-500 on a bonnet cover. Been A frame towing now for over 5 years and I've not noticed any problems with stone chips and yes the car needs a wash when we get home.

    Hi Bob and Jenny, great video. Site looks really good. Bob, does your Ducato not have a built-in tpms? I thought that it would have as it's such a late model. Enjoy the site.

    • @BobEarnshawMoHo
      @BobEarnshawMoHo  3 роки тому +1

      It does, but doesn't warn you until there is a problem, works by monitoring the speed of rotation of the tyre. The reason I went for TyrePal was that my Ducato's TPMS did not warn me that my rear tyre was down to 40 PS. With the TyrePal you can set upper and lower limits for temperature and pressure to forewarn you of any problems. Plus it will tell you if a bearing is running hot, or brakes are binding.
