will there be entertainment? Yes, he's called Paul...

Hopefully the heater will be needed a little less that at New Year

Nice idea Bryan... was tempted until I read Dog £3.00 per night !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

£16 for 2 adults, 2 children and a car...... there's just me and the dog !!!!!

£ 19 per night .......another blood with a y on UK rip off

no showers for 1 adult and 2 kids that should qualify for a 75% reduction ....

then I can afford the absolute greedy rip off of £3 A NIGHT for the dog....

who doesn't take showers (except at home) and doesn't use the crapper (thanks to me + poop scoop)... in fact doesn't use anything on the site !!!

There is in fact a purpose built dog walk for your £3 per night. :thumb:

For £3 a night do they walk them to?

 

[madbluemad]

Just at the minute I dont particularley care about charges for dogs on camp sites, however.

I have never yet managed to find a camp site manager or employee who can explain to me just what the dog or me get for his/her/my money.

Everything is provided by the dog owner. As for dog walks they are a joke, its normally a bit of redundant land at the side of the site which nobody has any use for anyway.

They are normally dirty unkempt and full of litter dropped by campers and then blown into the dog walk, out of site out of mind.

Its a blatant rip off.

Sorry wasn't trying to highjack the post.

Jim

 

[haganap]

Not Bruno John , they have specially trained Jockeys for him


In seriousness £3 pn for a dog is a lot. But as said there is a purpose built dog walking area making it a pleasure to take your dog (there words not mine) so therefore at least they have put some effort in and not just charging because you have one. :thumb:

dogs

3pound a night for a dog would love to come but wouldnt dream of being charged so much for a dog personally i think its greedy know where they got there name for farm lol

Jim

Thank you for trying


Can we now stay on topic? :thumb:

If you want to discuss campsite charges that you consider unfair please, by all means start a thread about it. This thread is to discuss the easter getaway we have planned

This campsite charges £3 for a dog - if you don't want to pay that then perhaps this venue is not for you.

Booked

Hi Bryan & Suzy,
Booked in for the 3 nights, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. We shall be there around mid-day. We will bring the big awning and Cadac to give you two a break from the crowds. Anyone can use it as a gathering place whenever they want. As you say, you are there for the resting so just let the rest of us do our bits, with advise and guidance of course, lol.
Regards
Graham & Jean

Ok guys I have booked in .

two adults two children and a dog. No hard standing left but he will get us all close together. Sounded a really nice chap and saod the site was quite small anyway so wont have to walk to far to get those bacon butties from Suzy

looking forward to it already.

Incidently if anyone is interested we are going to Newark and then on a magical mystery tour up to the North East or maybe Whitby should anyone want to join us.:thumb:

 

[haganap]

Ok Bryan Ive arranged the entertainment,,,

The Scousers are coming



Hes just awaiting someone being there when he books.:thumb:

 

[Road Runner]

Booked and i'll be there for a week @ £96 plus £7 for Bruno


BTW:- Dog £1 a night not £3 it's an error on website (maybe Brains you could highlight this fact as been mentioned earlier)

 

[Suzy]

Thats great news John, thanks for that.

Maybe some of the people who found it too expensive can now reconsider? :thumb:

Looks like we'll have fun, can't wait already!

Yes, I did just that Suzy.... still too much

they're happy to charge extra for more than two peeps....

but no reduction for one person

(Would have been nice of them to have waved John's £7 for Bruno seeing that he's on his own...and staying for a week)

It seems this "highjack wasnt a highjack after all, it appears as though the biggest turn off (now re-specified) is concerning dogs so no need to start a new thread.

Cheers

Mean git

I did try that BTW

 

[Suzy]

Well it just shows you cannot please all of the people all of the time, :Sad: but I am absolutely sure that the 'funsters' that do attend will have a great time as only 'funsters' know how.

Looking forward to seeing you all there:thumb:

 

[haganap]

Well Im going and I know a scouser or two are trying to book. Im determined to stay on topic but some people pay 20k for a motorhome and moan about £9 for 3 nights for a dog?:Confused:

I bet you couldn't go and find entertainment and the fun that you will have on a meet for £9 elsewhere.:yeah:
