Thank you both for another wonderful video. Looks smashing there. One for us to visit I think. Please keep the videos coming as we love to share your experiences. All the very best. VANESSA & COLIN WELLS

[@peterk4874]

Very nice campsite. Peter

[@HoodedMerganser1]

A very nice video, the site looks great with good facilities and outdoor space. Seeing Poppy and Tara having fun together was very nice too.

[@tracysimonsadventures8863]

We where on pitch 19 when we stayed there, we have also stayed in one of the glam pods . Enjoyed are visits

[@andrew-karens-adventures]

Thank you for the shout out Bob & Jenny, it's certainly a lovely site, we will certainly return & stop on the southern side 👍

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes a few people commented they prefer the southern side.

[@ladydunraven]

Excellent and a sight of the mighty Chinook Helicopter

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks, yes they are impressive.

[@Mike99Nine]

Nice site hope you enjoyed it and looks like weather was on your side.😆

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, enjoyed it a lot.

[@christinehodge3608]

Another interesting video, full of information, thank you

[@petebird7171]

Been there numerous times, absolutely a lovely site, can’t wait to go back, nice video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you

[@terrymoreland3814]

Nice quiet site, great to see Poppy & Tara running off lead 🐕....I think you deserve a new TV too Bob! 👍📺

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you, yes it's done well that old TV!

[@swdman1234]

What a mahoosive site! The facilities looked great and to be fair the prices were reasonable considering they offered water, waste and TV hook ups. We were quoted £30 a night for a local site were we live as we are having 3 weeks of building work on the house and our oldest dog is very nervous. So it gives us the perfect excuse for a sneaky break! Guy.

[@GrrMeister]

*£32 a night at Premier Inns at Local Sites including VAT Air Con/Heating and with shower & Luxury exceeding the best equipped Camper Van = say no more !*

[@TimmysFavs]

Nice looking site with all the mod cons!

[@stevekent8702]

Fantastic film x great place x its on our to visit list x parking over the water disposal drain 😀 😊 😄 you've settled our chit chat I spent 10 mins looking for one then realised its under my rear axle 😆 🤣 keep posting x I show the film clips to my partner for approval 😀 x better than the telly x keep it up from Steve and gail

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you very much. Took ages to find the drain!

[@jeanettedodd4460]

Thanks again Bob and Jenny for a brilliant video. Love them ! X

[@NigelParsons-el9ms]

Hi, Bob and Jenny just a short note to say how my wife and I enjoy your videos, and last year 2021 we decided to sell our caravan and tow car and buy our first motorhome which we got in September 2022 which we are very pleased with and enjoying our motorhome and wished I we had done it sooner. If you ever want to go to melton country park in your motorhome the only car park is up Scalford road 2nd right up Laycock avenue 2nd left up Wycliffe Avenue 1st right down Redwood Avenue 1st right onto Willow Drive car park on the right, Thanks again for your videos take care, Nigel & Judy.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you very much, and thanks for the tip.

[@rolffekete1057]

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you!

[@snowyowl539]

It looks a big site . Well set out and good walking too. You are right about that A50 it’s a terrible road . X

[@elainemorrall5567]

We love it there normally stop on the southern side, hope you had a lovely stay ….thanks for the video

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, looks like you get better views on the Southern side.

[@suzybeetravels]

I love the look of this site. Its a must this year to visit. We have a Netgear now just need the aerial.

[@gillaustin5386]

Thank you for this arriving at. Funny enough we have just booked this site for May, but on the Southern site so this has been very useful to us and we are looking forward to going there, it looks lovely.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes it is, enjoy.

[@deaddave8805]

We love Eye Kettleby. Only a 45 minute drive away from home for us. A little expensive per night, but well worth every penny. Fantastic level pitches and a lovely bar with outdoor area. Great in the summer months and great fish for anglers. Also nearby is Wymondham Windmill. Well worth a visit for a brilliant lunch and if you love history. Lovely to see you record this Bob. One of our favourite sites. D+S x

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks, we'll have a look next time.

[@MarkandNic]

Great video, we are heading to Eye Kettleby on Thursday for a few nights, staying on Southern section, will be our first visit and looking forward to it, but Westgate Carr in Pickering on Monday then over to Eye Kettleby 🤙🚐

[@gallivantinggalantes]

Hi Bob and Jenny, this is a lovely site and it is really huge. Great that the sun was shining for you. Love the ponds and fountains. Great walks, Poppy and Tara enjoying exploring. Thank you for showing us around x

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks for your kind comments.

[@tonymarsh6748]

What a nice site, one to try most definitely

[@alaneagle7545]

Hi Bob & Jenny, great content as ever!! Love the arrivals you do, gives real insight to the approach to the various sites you have visited 👍

[@anneshirley1748]

Not too far away from us! Were looking at pods to stay in last year but couldn't get in & it wasn't cheap! Would still love to go there though and visit Melton Mowbray, lovely video! Poppy bless her needed the loo I take it?! xx

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks. Poppy just likes to make a fuss when we arrive anywhere, she's excited.

[@sosaidhrafferty4608]

Hope you had a great time, we will definitely return here! The Southern Meadow was fabulous in September and the facilities buildings were superb on there.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We had a great time.

[@lindylouwilliams8331]

Hi Bob, jenny, Tara & poppy, hope you had an amazing time, looks very tranquil xx

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We did and it was very Tranquil!

[@PAK2133]

That is one beautiful looking site.

[@BrothersGrim2012]

What ya moaning about then? 😂😂 the best line I’ve ever heard on you tube Bob, the wife and I had a great chuckle and had to replay it a couple of times, you tell him Mrs E 😂😂 I hope that one day Sarah and I can tour as I’ve been looking at lots of different videos and it looks great fun, hope you’re both well kind regards Joel The Plumber

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks Joel.

[@BrothersGrim2012]

Keep up the good work the pair of you as I’m really enjoying you’re content and it’s lovely to see you out and about enjoying every minute of what our beautiful land has to offer

[@siouxrandall2647]

Hi bob,Jenny,Tara,and poppy,lovely video as per usual,looking forward very much to your other vids.Take care and stay safexx🐾🐾🐶🐶😊👍

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you.

[@stevenflitton1926]

Been coming here for the past 10 years and have seen a lot of changes in that time what with the new touring pitches and the club house extension but it's still one of our favourite sites

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, definitely want to go back.

[@dcs7077]

Yeah I’m hungry now!!

[@terrymcdonagh5439]

Our go to local weekend site - its 40 minutes from our house - brilliant site - great bathrooms (that we never use because we use our own but if you dont use yours these are really great) brilliant "clubhouse" - no bingo just a great facility - we probably go 4 weekends a year - cannot recommend enough - not cheap but you get what you pay for

[@PoshcatsCamping]

We had a lovely time with you both. The campsite was a perfect winter venue with everything we needed on site. Certainly one to return to in summer 😃👍🏻 Trev n Sue

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks for a great weekend.

[@charleswotton9417]

Now your talking this is a gem of a site ..I live half hour away .. bit pricey but you get what you pay for .. Best site I'm been on tbh and the shower are hotel standard if not better

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

I noticed it was the top site in the Top 100 campsites.

[@debsbird8693]

Lovely vlog! Love Kettleby Lakes has to be one of Our favourite sites and we love the dog walk area in fact we are off there this weekend for a couple of nights 👍😊

[@Daveindurham]

We have stayed many times and love the site, very busy throughout the summer months. Great that you can book specific pitches, other clubs should adopt this process. Your the 3rd video in a short time I have seen, as mentioned Andrew and Karen, also Carefree Caravanning and motorhomes have put their videos for Eye Kettleby on You Tube. Was is it Father Brown or Father Ted you were watching? 😀

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Not sure to be honest, I was more concerned about the TV switching off!

[@vansforthememories]

You had lovely weather! The pitches look nice and level, I love how Jenny is so organised, can she give me some coaching please? x

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We like to know what's coming! 😊

[@sylviapage8572]

Another great video. I’m definitely booking this year. I did check the website but the map of the pitches doesn’t show the dog walking field just the dog shower so I’ll have to give them a call. We have three dogs so like to be near the dog walking facilities. The downside of that is they like to bark at the other dogs as they head to the field! Thanks as always for sharing your adventures.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks, there are some pitches near the dog walking area, in the Southern Area.

[@sylviapage8572]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo thanks

[@bridgeteley1410]

Lovely informative vlog, as always from you two. This looks a great site for us newbies to try out - thanks for sharing

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, it's a good site.

[@robertirving5293]

Hi Bob and Jenny it's been nice run down there for you nice video been through Melton Mowbray lot's off time with lorry back in the 70's right up till the 90's happy day then. Any way have nice say both off you see next time .

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you.

[@dafarmer21]

Lovely site been many times but find it strange you were asked for ID and utility bills. Never been asked and we’re going next week too and don’t need to provide details. Have you been to Old Oakes Glastonbury absolutely gem of a site been many times there too has to be the best site I’ve stayed on in over 35 years of caravanning. Happy Caravanning

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, showed my driving licence. Think we've booked Old Oaks later in the year.

[@lindahiggins9295]

Hope you enjoyed your stay, stay safe and well. xx

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Very much, thank you.

Sorry Bob,I'm enjoying tge blog but need to ask.if someone asks you to pick up a pork pie,why would you not get them one?even though you're vegetarian.just asking

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

I did, I got my mum one.

[@carolynandcocohaywood2638]

Yep the A50 is an awful road to drive on.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

A relief when you get off it!

[@M.Y.O.F.B5178]

booked for the show at the NEC yet Bob?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, we'll be there.

[@stephenthoms9139]

Passport or ID are we living in a police state

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

I suppose it stops someone else from claiming your paid for pitch.

Jenny says you can’t have a new tv, you just need a new lead now do as your told Bob

[@GrrMeister]

12:23 *£94.25 for 3 nights and packed in like Sardines !*

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Nonsense! They were well spaced out pitces, fully serviced with your own washroom, bar, shop, acres to walk in, with entertainment and fishing lakes in beautifully landscaped grounds. Last time I was squeezed in like sardines was an Aire in Normandy where I could barely open the door fully.

[@GrrMeister]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo I've been there twice when full seems very crowded.
