Hi Dave & Helen, Pleased to see you soon settled in despite the stressful arrival 😧. A lovely and very well kept site but never had to park away from the caravan before. I can’t see an issue if you don’t have an awning but I guess it’s one rule for all. Thanks for the tour and all the best, Rob & Gail

Hi Rob & Gail, hope you’re both well. Although we knew the procedure we didn’t much like it. We store chairs in the car at night and other bits and bobs. Bit too much of a walk for us. Well kept site though. Thanks as always, cheers Dave and Helen 👍

Only recently discovered your channel and we are loving the way you present the videos. I'm not too impressed with this site though. Incredibly well presented and maintained, the assistance to level the caravan is a bonus, especially as it is by someone who probably know their job so well they possibly know which pitch requires what size levelling block. I wouldn't be too keen on the having to park away from the caravan though, as someone with impaired mobility I wouldn't be too eager to book here. Especially as I cannot see any mention of reasonable adjustments as expected under the equality act in their terms and conditions. I have emailed them to ask about facilities for such occasions and will report back if/when I get a response. Keep up the good work. TJ

Thank you for a great video. I can’t see the point of a dog exercise area and having to keep them on a lead! What’s the point of that! 🤦🏼♀️ As others have said I’d prefer the convenience of having the car next to the caravan, the CAMC has strict parking rules, if this site had them then their precious grass wouldn’t be spoilt, Concierge site manages it and that looks immaculate. Mmm maybe won’t put this on my list 😂

Not one of our favourite places to visit Barbs tbh. There was a funny atmosphere amongst the staff and none of the campers seemed too happy. If it rains you’ve got a long walk to reception to get to your car too. Dog walk area? Odd! We wouldn’t go back I’m afraid which is a shame because it is well kept. Take care, Helen & Dave 👍
