Eye Kettleby Lakes Site Tour

[@paddy4799]

This is the best site in the country. We absolutely love it. The fish and chips on Wednesday night are amazing, and from a van!! The log cabins allow kids but they can’t come onto the touring areas. The clubhouse is so welcoming and with great food. There is even a caravan and car servicing firm on site feb to Oct to help if you are in trouble ( Yorkshire men). Please don’t tell anybody else!!!!

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Patrick, It really is a fabulous site 👍🏻 Totally agree with you. Many thanks for watching, wishing you a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year. Best wishes, Keith & Michele.

[@robswiseways5697]

Hi K&M, We stayed there in October 2015 and really enjoyed it. They were constructing lake 8 & 9 and southern meadows area didn't exist. Everyone we know who have stayed there comment on how lovely the site is. Day one was walking and exploring Melton Mowbray, day two onwards doing our walks with a pork pie in the back pack for lunch! Thanks for the detailed video tour. Regards Rob

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Rob, Delighted you enjoyed your stay there, it really is a beautiful site, you’ll have to revisit & try the Southern Meadows....absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for your kind words & thanks for watching 👍🏻 Keith & Michele.

[@petersmith7908]

Hi both, thanks for the great tour. Weve booked our place for end of December. Cant wait.

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Peter, Delighted you enjoyed the video, it’s a fabulous place, you’ll absolutely love it 👍🏻 Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@northlancsscotsman7475]

Stayed here on the Northern site last year and on the Southern this year, pitched on the superior pitches and were absolutely fantastic, although the drains did smell a little during the hot summer however we used a little bit of bleach to prevent this. Great restaurant, great for dogs, great walks and nice and convenient to Melton Mowbray and Rutland Water. Definitely be back again👍

[@keithandmichele]

Hi North Lancs Scotsman, Absolutely agree 👍🏻 A fantastic site, definitely worth revisiting 😀 Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@lorrainehancox8147]

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Lozzie, Lovely to hear from you, you’ll absolutely love it!!! Beautiful site, some lovely dog walks & a great club house 😀 Have a fantastic time away, best wishes ❤️ Hopefully catch up next year, Keith & Michele.

[@markcoupe8139]

Hi. We live twenty minutes away from Eye Kettleby and regularly stay for short breaks. We love the place . Tou should have made a trip into Leicester, we have great shopping and eating and of course King Richard 3rd. Looking forward to tour next vlog. Jeanette and Kevin

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Jeanette & Kevin, We absolutely loved the site as well, unfortunately, didn’t get time to visit Leicester this time but we’ll definitely have to go next time we’re in the area 👍🏻 Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@jamesmgreen15]

Super vid guys. Thanks for the information about what looks a very nice site and the "quick" review of the motorhome was useful for me - it's a MH I am considering :)

[@keithandmichele]

Hi James, Many thanks for your kind words, delighted you found the video useful. Definitely worth a “try before you buy” so worth a visit if you are near this location 👍🏻 Good luck with your search, exciting times ahead for you 😀 Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

Lovely review. I used to live near Melton Mowbray Long before the caravan park mind you. Looks like a must visit park.

[@keithandmichele]

Hi David, Many thanks for your kind words, it’s absolutely beautiful, definitely worth a visit 👍🏻 Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@davefowler7091]

Hi guys we like the look of this site - one to add to our list 👍

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Dave, It’s a fantastic site 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 You’ll love it but book early, it fills up very quickly. Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

Many thanks for watching Jayne, great site 👍🏻 Sending our best wishes, Keith & Michele.

[@joshyangler]

Here every weekend fishing also the chestnut lodge has hot tub I’ve hired out quite a few times been coming here for nearly 3 years now every weekend RELAXES your mind completely

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Joshua, Totally agree with you, fabulous place to visit & unwind. Thanks for watching, best wishes, Keith & Michele.

[@Daveindurham]

Hi both, this is as I have previously mentioned, one of our favourite sites. Too far for just a weekend for us, so we tend to go for longer in early summer. We have stayed on both areas and prefer the new pitches. As you mentioned, it does get very busy in the peak season despite the higher costs. We tried to book selected pitches for next summer back in early July, but they were already full for our dates, so as you rightly say “book early”. Great video.

[@keithandmichele]

Hi David, Yes, it gets booked up very quickly & rightly so.......it’s absolutely fantastic!!! Many thanks for your kind words & thanks for watching 👍🏻 Keith & Michele.

[@gooderz75]

Great review, we are booked here in July and looking forward to it.

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Mark, It’s a fantastic site, You’ll have a great time 👍🏻 Many thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@barryeaton8907]

Once again a great review, in fact several reviews in one. We have had a few camper vans and caravans and before we decided on a new caravan/camper van we rented a motor home very similar to the one you reviewed to see if it met our needs. It was great for travelling and setting up was so easy but... It was so confined. We felt as though we had no space and living in a corridor. For the time being we will stay with the caravan and the "inconvenience" of towing

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Barry, Yes, try before you buy is an excellent way of “testing the waters”, particularly for such a costly outlay. Delighted you enjoyed the review, definitely worth a visit if you get the chance 👍🏻 Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@anewbeginning9778]

We love this Site, it's exactly as you've said, a great review.

[@keithandmichele]

Many thanks for your kind words Carol, we had a fantastic time here, can see why you love it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@paddy4799]

Wednesday evening!!! Chip van comes about 6.30 pm, get a ticket from the bar. Fish and chips are amazing. Best club in the country!!! Best site, totally doggy friendly. Amazing staff and very comfortable feeling. DONT TELL ANYBODY so we can get a booking.

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Patrick, it’s a fabulous site isn’t it 😀 Delighted you enjoy staying there as much as we do 👍🏻 Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@janscott3031]

Nice Vid as always guys. Adults only appeals to us as well but not the extra's for dogs, find that a bit mean. Good skills Michele on knowing the difference between a "Butler Sink" and a "Belfast Sink". Nick T.

[@keithandmichele]

Mmmmmm more a fluke than skill Nick 😆 Delighted you enjoyed the video 👍🏻 Thanks, as always, for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@mattiron9313]

Children are allowed in the club house /restaurant and also the lodges. Caravan site is adults only. We live in Melton Mowbray and regularly visit EKL for the restaurant and tribute nights, a little too close to take the caravan, but maybe one day😁

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Matt, Many thanks for the clarification 👍🏻 Fantastic site & great tribute acts. We thoroughly enjoyed the fish & chips 😀 Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@lindagriffiths5739]

Great for fishermen, you pick some great sites and travel around a bit to give people a chance to see what’s out there, great reviews.👍👍👍

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Linda, Many thanks for your kind words 😀 It’s a fabulous site, definitely worth a visit if you get the chance 👍🏻 Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@colinrimmer789]

Lovely, I always watch your vids having breakfast before work. Don’t know if that’s a good thing, don’t want to go, now, where are my caravan keys.

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Colin, Many thanks for your lovely words 😀 The site is open all year so........get those caravan keys 😀😆😀 Thanks, as always, for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@caravanningwithbrenandjule7447]

Looks a nice site a few of our friends go there

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Bren & Jules, It’s a fabulous site, well worth a visit if you decide to start touring 👍🏻 Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@caravanningwithbrenandjule7447]

Hi Keith and Michele the pods and cabins look nice as I don’t think we will be travelling again anytime soon, we’ve had a great weekend thanks, got back this morning but I’m going back tomorrow until next Sunday as Jules is on the back shift all week.

[@nickjennings3500]

Hi Guys, talking about fully serviced pitches, I find that the position of the grey waste point can vary greatly from site to site. While we all carry EHU cables to reach most points , I doubt we all carry enough waste pipe. I think it would be good if a maximum distance was established e.g. 5 metres , before a pitch is designated " full service" either that or the side provides suitable to reach within that distance of the van. Great video as always. Regards Non stick Nick

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Nick, Thanks for your kind words, you make a very important point regarding the bollard & waste point. Hopefully other site owners will take this on board 👍🏻 Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@terryclark7864]

How do you guys keep finding good weather? Another interesting film. Thanks guys. By the way Belvoir castle is pronounced Beaver. Don't ask me why. All the best . T

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Terry, Many thanks for your kind words & thanks for letting us know the correct pronunciation ☺️ We are quite lucky with the weather most of the time 😎 but we have had some heavy downpours as well 🙄 In fact it poured down with rain the day after filming this review 😆 Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@kevinwallbank5918]

Looks a great site another great video 👌 I now know where and what the site looks like where my boss goes to 😁

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Tammie, We can see why your boss goes there 😀 It’s a superb site & excellent lakes for fishermen 👍🏻 Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@reginaldshannon4220]

How do you power you caravan in a off grid stie

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Reginald, When camping off grid, the heating, fridge & oven will all be using gas. The lights will take power from the onboard leisure battery. Assuming there is a solar panel fitted, this helps to replenish the battery throughout the day. All the mains sockets will obviously not work as they are 240 volts, however, this can be overcome by using an inverter. In summary, a kettle would need to be used on a gas hob & a TV would need to be 12 volts. We’ve never actually gone off grid yet, hopefully others who have, will add to this comment with their experiences 👍🏻 Hope this helps, Keith & Michele.

[@reginaldshannon4220]

@@keithandmichele cheers for replying

[@jeffjohnson847]

What a coincidence was there last week on new southern pitch stayed there quite a few times mainly on northern weds night van turns up you get fish and chips of it and they surply plates and cuterey just noticed my car and caravan you must of been there when I was red mondeo behind you

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Jeff, Absolutely fabulous site 👍🏻 Shame we missed you, hopefully another time 😀 Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@caravanstuff2827]

superb video.....every caravan park should be like that one,must have been expensive?

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Brad, It’s a fabulous site, definitely recommend a visit when you get the chance 👍🏻 Prices vary throughout the year depending on the season. Many thanks for watching, best wishes, Keith & Michele.

[@NoRickenbackers]

Hi, could you tell me about the tap on the series pitches please? What connector, if any, does it have fitted? Thanks!!!

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Chris, As we recall these are standard outside taps & we use a Hozelock fitting with 1/2 inch & 3/4 inch connectors (Sorry can’t recall which one we actually used at Eye Kettleby) screwed onto the tap. Please remember to remove it when leaving! Hope this helps, Keith & Michele.

[@NoRickenbackers]

Carefree Caravanning Thank you-that’s fab! Loving your new van btw, the only problem is you’ve got my wife looking at new vans now. Gotta go, need to contact the bank!!

[@keithandmichele]

LOL 😂😆🤣 Happy caravan hunting Chris 🤗 Ours is a beauty, Many thanks for your words of congratulations 👍🏻 Best wishes to you both, Keith & Michele.

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Great review thank you. We like some of the adult only sites and have found that using them all the time wouldn’t be for us. Site variety is the spice of life as they say. There’s an idea for a video 👍🏻 Trev n Sue

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Trev & Sue, LOL its just coincidence that we visited two adult only sites in a row 😀 We love seeing families enjoying caravan holidays.... playing outside, back to nature, the sound of children’s laughter.....absolutely love it ❤️ Definitely worth a visit, it’s a fabulous site 👍🏻 Many thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@PoshcatsCamping]

I didn’t even pick up on two in a row and it certainly isn’t meant as a criticism of you or your channel. Your reviews are so detailed they cover all aspects and that’s great. Have a good weekend 😊 Trev

[@keithandmichele]

Absolutely no offence taken Trev ❤️ We’re absolutely delighted to have both you & Sue watch & comment on our videos 👍🏻 Have a great weekend, looks like a wet one 🙁 Best wishes, Keith & Michele.

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Phew, it’s too easy to put something on here without realising. We are off to Norwich on Wednesday but I think we need winter gear now. We are taking the car and there’s a little twist to this trip. All will be revealed 😉 Trev

[@keithandmichele]

Yep, know exactly what you mean Trev ☺️ Looking forward to your Norwich trip, sounds very intriguing 👍🏻 Have a great time, fingers crossed for you with the weather 🤞 Best wishes ❤️ Keith & Michele.

[@dreamjewels]

A very nice revue thanks, a bit far to come however from NZ. I am interested how much a night it would be though, here in NZ I haven't seen anything like it. We pay $40.00 ((20 Pounds) a night for a grass area, however we have an off season Campsaver price of $20.00 per van on power (10 pounds) which is great BUT nothing like the luxury you have there.

[@keithandmichele]

Hi, The price does vary throughout the seasons & they offer discounted rates at certain times throughout the year which are shown on their website. Hope this helps, thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@CaravanningwiththeCoxs]

Brilliant video guys. It’s such a shame we can’t go to any of these due to the adults only status. Cheers Oliver

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Oliver, Many thanks for your kind words 👍🏻 Yes, it really is such a shame as this one in particular is absolutely beautiful. We’ll have to look for more fantastic sites that aren’t adults only 😀 Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@snarledtomcat4968]

It’s not strictly other 18 on the website it says you have to be 15 and above to fish without being supervised by an adult

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Snarled Tomcat49, great information, many thanks for that. Children are allowed in the log cabins & clubhouse as well, just not the touring parks. Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.
