Well here we go, As the first site is now not available till the end of sept i have contacted another site just down the road from the first, it's here>>>> http://www.glentrothy.co.uk/ The dates 31st aug/1st sept are available, all tents will be together, caravans in an adjoining field. Prices are as follows and are a tad confusing but i will take a shot at explaining them, For a two man tent with two people it is £7 per night per tent plus an extra £2 per night for electric. For a four man tent the price is £8 per tent per night with two people plus an extra £2 per person upto four people, plus an extra £2 per night for electric. Unfortunatly no dogs are allowed and no twin axle caravans or work vans. The site has an electric gate system for which you use a card for entry and exit, this card is £10 which is refunded when you leave. It is cash or cheque only as there is no card facility available for payment. There i think that explains it....phew :-/ So if everyone wants to take a look at the site details and let me know what you think then i think we will have to get some numbers together as to who will be going so we can book it

Cheers, Jez

Golfbuddy · « **Reply #10 on:** 19 July 2007, 20:37:07 »

Err, just seen this review. Looks a little bit like this place is run by the fun police. Has anyone actually been here?

We are happy to go with the crowd but it does seem to be run a little bit like the third reich. :-?

Somehow I expect that the police would be called pretty quickly on us . . . Hotel21 or Dean coming?

I would say it's the aphrodisiac properties of the Viagra of the southwest, the mighty cornish pasty.

In truth though, it's because we are foster carers and don't know who will be living with us at the time

MikeDundee · « **Reply #20 on:** 19 July 2007, 21:36:28 »

Last review done in 2005, so either they have got better, or no ones been back there since

...may explain why we can get it there that weekend

Golfbuddy · « **Reply #21 on:** 19 July 2007, 21:37:31 »

If I'm not being too presumptuous being a new guy round here, may I suggest a look at this site. Judging by these reviews it looks like a really nice place. I appreciate that it is a bloody nightmare to organise something like this and to try to please everybody and that it is difficult to find a place that is willing to accept a large party and could accomodate us on the weekend in question.

As I said, I really don't want to poke my not inconsiderable nose in where it doesn't belong but I wasn't inspired by most of the reviews of the other place and don't want to be on best behaviour all weekend

Sheeet dude! Don't be shy.

Edit: Unless James and Tunnie are the only others still awake. Then be very shy/scarce, and for darn sure don't try to hide by pretending to be a sheep!

BBQs are allowed as long as there not the ones that sit on the grass, e.g disposables, hope this helps. If anyone is not sure about this site then please say, as i say i have been past here many times and it does look very nice but have never stayed there so cant comment on the site itself. If you want to look at other sites then please do, this one was only a suggestion. Hope this all helps. What ever or where ever looking forward to it

My concern is that virtually every view said the owners wouldn't tolerate anything. Seeing as we upset the Lakes owner, not sure how we would get on here.

My gut feeling is look for another - I think a couple have been suggested in this thread. Best ensure they don't mind a large group of 30/40yr olds...

smoothomega · « **Reply #36 on:** 20 July 2007, 22:56:50 »

mmmmmmm, read the reviews too and not so sure now although they did seem very nice on the phone :-/ Anyway just one more sit for consideration, i have no experiance of this site though Symonds Yat is beautifull. This is the link>>>>>> http://www.canoehire.com/symyat.html . If any of you would like me to make any further enquires about this place then i will with pleasure or if anyone has another idea for a site then over to you, bearing in mind from previous posts a centralish location would be best favoured. Cheers, Jez
