Thinking about a trip to this place, it looks great for children and not to far for a 1st trip abroad, any comments on the place would be most welcome, any info on the different pitch types would also be appreciated. Regards Mark

We have been there a few times, the hardstandings are the plastic mesh in the grass type, not gravel. Its a nice site in a good location, gate through to the pub next door where they do 2 for 1 or simalar meal offers at certain times. Havnt been there this year as we went to West Ayton instead...

Vodafone Dongle is a no chance at Longleat, very very poor vodafone signal (unable to use phone too), think its the same for various other networks as well. Longleat is one CC site with its own wireless network, however it isnt cheap and u need to ensure your are pitched fairly close to...

I have just got a 2009 Amara 560/6, recieved the same advice from my dealer, which seemed quite sensible to me, they said instances of the microwave "jumping out" had been heard of, maybe not just Amara's but maybe any van with built in microwave. I do not find it much trouble to remove, only a...

We have just changed caravans and awnings. New size was 1000cm We looked at various including the Issabella, also looked very closely at the Ventua Atlantic, comparing its details with the Issabella. We chose the Ventura, as stated before Issabella's manufactured under licence I believe

Size H 910-945cm
