We have had the same problem. We bought a brand new caravan in Dec 05 and when we took it in for the 1st service in Jan 07 it showed up as damp in three places. The dealer's service centre did temporary repairs (slapped a bit of silicon on back of awning rails and toilet cassette door) and put...

Hi Kate, we travelled from Lancashire down to Dover last summer. We set off at 5.30pm and with a couple of quick 'comfort' breaks we got to Dover before midnight. We just parked up on Marine Parade for some sleep and were 5 mins from the ferry terminal for an 8 o'clock sailing. Depending on...

Certificated Locations through the Caravan Club. The Camping & Caravanning Club have a similar system but they are Certificated Sites (CS). You have to be a member of the relevant club to use them. They are small sites with only 5 pitches, often owned by farmers or people with a spare section...

It's the Red House estate. Not been before but we are going with friends and have booked 4 pitches! They have their own website which you can link to from the CC website. If this isn't the same as your little gem, will you let me into the secret for another time?

Hi Janet & John, the one we first went to was also in Settle and your description sounds v similar! It was called Layhead Farm and Rosemary that runs it is lovely. There is a play area and an indoor games room with DVDs/books that you can borrow for free. She also has self-catering cottages...

Hi Andrew, like you we didn't try CLs right away. We eventually took the plunge last year and only after booking realised that we had booked one that only had electric hook-up and no shower/toilet block (although all CLs have to have access to fresh water and the means to empty the loo). It...

Thanks Trevor, just had a look at that site and the price for us with 2 kids in August comes out at 36 Euros. It looks a nice site but a bit pricey - as we will prob be arriving in the evening and leaving early, we won't really get chance to use the facilities. Ideally we are looking for a...

Thanks for that Bill. Can you give me some idea of the nearest village or road to their site? We were planning on heading out of Poitiers in a south westerly direction so I would rather we didn't have to go too far in the opposite direction.

There's a nice site called Glan Llyn (lakeside) at the bottom end of the lake. Have a look at www.glanllyn.com. We stayed there a couple of years ago and it has it's own access to the lake and fishing rights. There are a couple of other sites to the North end of the lake (nearer to the town)...

Hi, we are travelling down near to Bairritz in the summer and wondered if anyone could recommend a stopover just after Poitiers. I have emailed a municipal site at Sanxay but not had a response. Also, last year we sailed from Dover and just parked on Marine Parade for free the night before...
