We stayed here last year. Your own hot tub on the pitch.. just be careful you don’t overspend in the restaurant there, the food is amazing. Bargoed Farm - https://www.bargoedfarm.co.uk/

Well yes, don’t think we’ve been to one without.. I do find it awkward though, feels so disorganised for some reason. Probably more me than the actual amenities. Not sure we’ll get the chance to go away again until Oct at the earliest though, so I’m going to leave it and see how it behaves then...

Oh, sounds like boiling the kettle for washing up water from now on then..

Hi, I was wondering if any more experienced brains could offer some help here. When the van went in for its annual service, we were told the Truma Ultrastore tripped their workshop electrics and asked if it had ever happened before, it hadn’t. We went away end of July and had no problems with...

We were talking about the need to get a barbecue for the caravan too. I’m wondering what do people do for gas for the barbecues? We don’t have an external connection on the caravan, so I’m assuming the solution is to carry a separate bottle? Seems a bit bulky for my liking so I’m suspecting...

We have two Cello branded TVs. One which we run off mains and one smaller one which I bought the 12-24V adaptor for as the mains connection next to the kids’ bunks is in an inconvenient position. It runs well on the 12V. Only real issues are the sound quality is awful but we’ve also got the main...

This is some good advice. I hadn’t even thought of serial numbers. I’m going to be adding this column to my spreadsheet! The weights is also a great idea, I don’t have separate sheets for different types of breaks like some, I just cut and paste items in or out depending on which awning we’re...

Hi everyone, What do you use to stick your number plate on your caravan? I saw these for a quid and thought they promised what I needed (due to the picture of a number plate) but after it fell off being stuck on with 4, I stuck it back with TWENTY TWO of the little blighters and it still...

Sounds like a good excuse to eat two to me! This is the choc companies deciding it’s better to shrink the bars than raise the price.. 6g worth of price wouldn’t be that much of a hike though, and we’d still have proper sized confectionary!

Hehe, sorry for being so naive.. If you leave a curved piece of card on a flat surface, it will eventually flatten again.. never tried it with blinds. But, great link and really showed me what to look for so thanks

D’you know what? I hadn’t even thought of that.. brilliant suggestion! Thank you! [br] Yes, it’s the roller blind style, so I shall be googling that tomorrow!

These are some good points re the curtains. With the overhead cupboards though, I’ve never left cupboards like this open before, will it not strain the mechanism, much like keeping the blinds rolled down would harm the springs? While we’re on this spring subject, there’s a couple in our caravan...

These are great replies! Thanks to everyone. This is pretty much what we did (except the staying in the caravan for 3 more days haha). Got home, moved the caravan into place on the drive, levelled and steadies, and then started emptying everything spoilable (is that a word?), followed by...

Yeah, we’re hoping to do October half term next.. so not too long to wait!..
