Sharing a holiday!

You might like Abbey View CL on the outskirts of Whitby. It has holiday cottages in the adjacent barn conversion. Nice views as well. CL is grass but worth thinking about for drier weather.

Ah, I think we looked at that CL last Spring, but it was so wet they weren't taking CL bookings. I hadn't realised they did cottages as well though.

I shall be looking for a cottage for us two, Mum and Sister in Spring, need to go somewhere new though, a few too many raw memories for us all to cope with at the moment to go back to some of our favourites. I think North Wales might be interesting, we went there a lot as children, and so did OH. Dog friendly required as well!

I understand. One of the reasons why we try to keep it low key at Christmas. FIL passed away in the week leading up to it a few years ago.

Can't help with North Wales, even though we live there. Apart from short breaks to get the van ready for the summer we tend to CL outside our area.

We stopped at an ex CL which is now a small commercial site near Wrexham, which also has a cottage attached. We'd definitely recommend the site.  Here's the link, tda.

Thank you Nellie, will take a look.

Have just thought of another CL with a Cottage for rent....Barrow Farm, Rode, Frome, Somerset. Can recommend the CL, 3 H/S + grass pitches on a small holding. Here's the link.

We've done a lot of 'holiday sharing' - initially with friends, some of whom camped and others stayed in nearby B & B accommodation. More recently we've shared with my sister and her family who have joined us on caravanning holidays when they slept in the caravan, and OH and I slept outside in a tent (which was actually great fun).

Even more recently our house in France has been 'the cottage' and we've decamped to our caravan  after a couple of nights, leaving our son and his partner to enjoy the house without us there!

Templehall CL, near Coldingham on the east coast, also has a self catering cottage.  It's a lovely area with lots to see, highly recommended.  The beach is fantastic.

Up North there are possibilities within the C&MC network. Hawes, Methop Fell for example have on site flats available to hire. Those luxury pods springing up on some sites may also be an answer.
